Time difference adjustment function

When using the watch in a region with a different time zone, you can easily set the watch to indicate the local time.

The time can be adjusted without stopping the watch.

The hour hand and the date move in tandem. By setting the hour hand, it is adjusted to indicate the date of your desired region having different time zone.

The time difference can be adjusted in one-hour increments.

How to use the time difference adjustment function

  1. Make sure that the watch is working.

  2. 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.

  3. Make sure that the hour hand, minute hand and the date correctly indicate the time and date of the region before changing the time zone.

  1. Pull out the crown to the first click.

  2. The seconds hand continues moving.

    For models with screw down crown, please unlock the crown before operating it.
