Do you have a proper way of setting the time for watches that comes with a calendar without harming the movement?

Please follow the below steps to set the time for your watch.


Note that when turning the crown to set the date, please do it slowly by turning one date at a time.

TIME SETTING FOR MODELS WITH CALENDAR:

1. Pull out the crown to the first click.
2. Turn the crown until the previous day’s date appears in the calendar frame.
3. Pull out the crown to the second click, and advance the hour and minute hands until the desired date appears.
4. Adjust the time by turning the crown in the desired direction.
5. Push the crown back in to the normal position.

Note: The date will change gradually between 9pm and 4am. For some models, however, it will change instantly when the hands pass the 12 o’clock marker at midnight.

TIME SETTING FOR MODELS WITH DAY AND DATE CALENDAR:

1. Pull out the crown to the first click.
2. Turn the crown until the previous day’s date appears in the calendar frame.
3. Turn the crown in the opposite direction until the desired language (bilingual) for the day before the desired day appears in the calendar frame.
4. Pull out the crown to the second click, and advance the hour and minute hands until the desired date appears.
5. Adjust the time by turning the crown in the desired direction.
6. Push the crown back in to the normal position.

Note on calendar setting: 
1. Do not change the calendar between 9pm to 4am, as it may not change properly. If it is necessary to set the calendar during that time period, first change the time to any time outside those hours, set the calendar and then reset the correct time.
2. When the day shifts automatically to the next day, the other language will temporarily appear.
3. When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so designed that the calendar changes once every 24 hours.


Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock marker to determine whether the time is set for the AM or PM period. If the calendar changes, the time is set for the AM period. If it does not change, the time is set for the PM period.
