How to use (For models with the date and a 24-hour hand)

This watch is equipped with the date display function. The date changes once every 24 hours at around midnight.

Therefore, if the a.m./p.m. is incorrectly set, the date will change around 12:00 p.m.

To set the time and date, set the 24-hour hand and minute hand first, and then set the hour hand and date.

1. Make sure that the watch is operating.
   To carry out the procedure, please make sure that the watch is in working state.

Please wind the mainspring when the watch is not working.

2. Pull out the crown to the second click when the seconds hand is at the 12 o’clock position. (The seconds hand stops.)

(If the watch is equipped with the screw down crown, unscrew the crown before pulling it out.)



3. Turn the crown clockwise to set the 24-hour and minute hands to the current time of your area.

While doing so, set the minute hand a few minutes behind the correct time, and then slowly advance it to the desired time.

Only the 24-hour and minute hands are to be set first. Even if the hour hand is indicating incorrect time, or the date may be altered depending on the position of the hour hand, it is not necessary to make an adjustment at this stage.



4. Push the crown back in simultaneously with the time signal.

The setting of the 24-hour, minute and seconds hands is now completed.

5. To move on to the hour hand and date setting, pull out the crown to the first click.



6. Turn the crown to set the hour hand. While turning the crown, the moment the date changes is midnight. When setting the hour hand, be sure that a.m./p.m. is set correctly.

Set the date also at this point if necessary.



The crown can be turned in either direction to set the date, however, it is recommended to turn the crown in the direction which enables you to set the date with a smaller adjustment.

Turn the crown slowly, checking that the hour hand moves in one-hour increments.

When setting the hour hand, the other hands may move slightly. However, this is not a malfunction.

If you set the date between 10 p.m. and 0 a.m. by turning the hour hand counterclockwise, turn the hour hand until it shows sometime between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. once, then set the date.

In case the hour hand is turned counterclockwise, the date will be put back when the hour hand shows around 10 p.m., however, it is not malfunction.

7. Push the crown back in to complete the time setting.

(If the crown of your watch is a screw lock type, lock the crown.)

It is necessary to adjust the date after February (which has 28 days, 29 days in a leap year) and a 30 day month.

On the first day, “31” is displayed. Pull out the crown to the first click. Turn the crown clockwise (12 o’clock direction) to set the date to “1”, and push the crown back in to the normal position.

This watch has two different types of 24-hour hand usage.

When you use as a dual time indicator, set the 24-hour and hour hands to different times.

<Type 1>:

24-hour hand as an a.m./p.m. indicator

Simply using the 24-hour hand to show the 24-hour time as an a.m./p.m. indicator. (This is the standard usage type for the 24-hour hand.)

Both the hour hand and the 24-hour hand are indicating the Japan time 10:00 a.m.

<Type 2>:

24-hour hand as a dual time indicator

Using the time difference adjustment function, set the 24-hour hand to indicate a time different from the time that the hour and minute hand indicate, which is of a place in a different time zone area with at least one hour of time difference from where you are.

Hour hand:

Japan time 10:00 a.m.

24-hour Hand:

London time 1:00 a.m.

For example, while traveling abroad and staying in a place with a different time from where you live, you can conveniently set the watch to indicate the local time in the different time zone area without stopping the watch.

The hour hand indicates the time of the place where you currently are, while the 24-hour hand indicates the time of the place of origin.

The date works in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand. If the time difference is correctly adjusted, the watch displays the correct date of the place where you are staying.

1. Make sure that the watch is operating.
   To carry out the procedure, please make sure that the watch is in working state.

Please wind the mainspring when the watch is not working.

2. Pull out the crown to the first click.

(If the watch is equipped with the screw down crown, unscrew the crown before pulling it out.)



3. Turn the crown to set the hour hand to indicate the time of the place where you are staying.

Make sure that a.m./p.m. and date are correctly set.

The date is designed to work in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand, therefore, incorrect setting of a.m./p.m. will cause the date to change at noon.
