CAUTION
If you set the date when the time on your watch is between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., the date may not change correctly on the following day due to the mechanism of the watch.
Please refrain from setting the date and/or day during this time.
How to set the time and date
-
First, set the date. Pull out the crown to the first click. The seconds hand keeps moving.

The date can be set by turning the crown counterclockwise (6 o’clock direction). First turn the crown until the previous day’s date from the desired date appears.
