• The Second Hand is the longest and thinnest hand. It completes a full rotation every 60 seconds.

• The Date Indicator shows the current date. It advances once every 24 hours, usually at midnight.

• The Day Indicator displays the current day of the week. Like the Date Indicator, it advances once every 24 hours.

• The 24-Hour Indicator helps distinguish between AM and PM hours by completing one full rotation every 24 hours.

• The Crown has three positions: the Normal Position, which is the default for regular use; the 1st Click Position, used for quickly changing the date; and the 2nd Click Position, used for setting the time and day."

Step 2: Setting the Time and Date

• Pull the Crown to the 2nd Click Position: Ensure the seconds hand is at the 12 o'clock position before pulling the crown.

• Set the Day and Time: Rotate the crown to set the day of the week, then adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set (12pm/24am).

• Set the Date: Push the crown to the 1st Click Position. Then rotate the crown counterclockwise to adjust the date.

• Return the Crown to Normal Position: Push the crown back to the Normal Position after all settings are complete.

IMPORTANT: Avoid setting the date between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM to prevent potential issues with the date change. If necessary, change the time to outside this range, adjust the date, and then reset the correct time.
