[Setting the Date]
This watch is provided with a virtual calendar function. Once it is set, the year,
month and date change automatically, including leap years.
1. When the crown is pulled out to the first click (calendar correction position), the
second hand moves to the year and month position stored in memory and stops.
2. Turn the crown and set the date.
(1) Turn the crown to the right to set the second hand to the position correspond-
ing to the year (number of years elapsed since the most recent leap year) and
month. Turning the crown continuously causes the second hand to advance
rapidly.
Examples:
* In the case of December in a leap year: Align the second hand at 0 seconds.
* In the case of April in a year that is three years after the most recent leap year:
Align the second hand at 23 seconds (between 4:00 and 5:00).
(2) The date is advanced by one day if the crown is turned to the left.
* Turning the crown continuously causes the date to be advanced continuously.
Turn the crown to either the left or right to stop the date from advancing con-
tinuously.
3. Always make sure to return the crown to the normal position after setting the
date.
The second hand advances to the current seconds and the hands begin to move.
<When Setting the Date by Continuously Turning the Crown>
The date can be set easily by stopping advancing the date rapidly two to three days
before the correct date and then advancing the date one day at a time.
<When the Date has been Set to a Date that does not Exist>
The date automatically changes to the first day of the following month when the
crown is returned to the normal position from the date correction state.
Examples:
* Normal Years:
March 1 when the date has been set to February 29, 30 or 31
October 1 when the date has been set to September 31
* Leap Years:
March 1 when the date has been set to February 30 or 31
October 1 when the date has been set to September 31
