Moon Phases

The Moon goes through a regular 29.53-day cycle during which it appears to wax and wane due to how the Sun illuminates the Moon and the relative positioning of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. The greater the angular distance between the Moon and the Sun,* the more of the Moon we see illuminated.

*The angle to the Moon in relation to the direction at which the Sun is visible from the Earth.

Moon Phase Indicator

The Moon phase indicator of this watch indicates the current phase of the Moon as shown below.

•Some water resistant models are equipped with a screw lock crown.

•With such models, you must unscrew the crown in the direction noted in the illustration to loosen it before you can pull it out. Do not pull too forcibly on such crowns.

•Also note that such watches are not water resistant while their crowns are loosened. Be sure to screw the crowns back in as far as they will go after making any setting.
