To Set the Time:
1.Pull the crown to the "OUT" position.
NOTE: If the crown does not pull straight out, your watch is equipped with a
2.Rotate the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired time.
3.Push the crown back in to restart the watch.
NOTE: To synchronize your watch with an external time reference signal such as a clock or another watch, follow these steps:
1.When the second hand is precisely at 12 o'clock, pull the crown to the "OUT" position. This will stop the second hand.
2.Set the watch one minute past the indicated time of the external time reference.
3.When the time of the external time reference signal and the time set on the watch coincide exactly (hours, minutes, seconds), push the crown back in to restart your watch.
SECTION 5 – HOW TO SET THE DAY OF THE WEEK
There are two types of Day/Date watches. The day is set either in the "MIDDLE" crown position or in the "OUT" position. To determine which version you have, pull the crown to the "MIDDLE" position and slowly rotate the crown CLOCKWISE.

If the day changes, continue to rotate the crown until you reach the desired day. Then follow the instructions in Section 6 for setting the date.
If the day does not change when the crown is rotated in the "MIDDLE" position, pull the crown to the "OUT" position and proceed to slowly

SETTING THE DATE ON TYPE A
There are two versions on the date setting of a Type A watch. In both versions, the crown is first pulled out to the "MIDDLE" position.

|

In one version, the crown is rotated COUNTERCLOCKWISE only; in the other version, the crown is rotated CLOCKWISE. Stop when the desired date appears.
SETTING THE DATE ON TYPE B
Pull the crown to the "OUT" position and rotate the hands CLOCKWISE through 24 hours until the desired date appears in the window. For a quicker way to set the date, rotate the crown CLOCKWISE until the date changes (approximately 1:00 am). Then rotate the crown COUNTERCLOCKWISE back to 7:30 pm, then CLOCKWISE to 1:00 am. Repeat above procedures until the desired date appears in the
window.

Once set, the date will have to be advanced in this manner on five occasions during the year (the five months that have fewer than 31 days).
