Pull the crown out to the hand setting position according to the method described in the instructions, and then adjust the hand clockwise until the calendar changes to the next day. If the watch has stopped running, it is difficult to determine if the time the hands are displayed is morning or afternoon, but as long as the calendar changes to the next day, it means the time is 12 midnight.
2. Turn the hour hand until the minimum of 6 hours at midnight (ie 6 am) to adjust the hands. Use the quick transfer mechanism of the calendar function to adjust the watch to yesterday's date. The calendar function of the watch rotates normally from 8 pm to 3 am, at which time adjusting the hands will destroy the performance of the movement. At 6 o'clock in the morning, it is definitely not the time period for calendar conversion. At this time, it is most appropriate to adjust the hands. After setting the calendar to be yesterday's date, you can do the following:
3. Push the crown back to the normal position to activate the movement, then pull it out again to the manual setting position and adjust the second hand to the 12 o'clock position. This app lets you use the time signal to set the watch to the nearest second.
4. Now turn the pointer clockwise until the calendar shows today, then adjust the time to about 5 minutes faster than real. If the time has passed at noon, be sure to turn the hour hand to the 12 o'clock position. By the rotation of the calendar, you can determine if the time displayed on the watch is around noon. Furthermore, this method allows you to set the time between 12:30 and 3 am, without breaking the calendar mechanism.
5. Now turn the hands to one minute faster than the real time. When the real time is reached, immediately press the crown to reactivate the watch (if the watch is equipped with a screw-in crown, the crown needs to be tightened). The date and time settings involve dynamic changes in the teeth inside the train. Usually the teeth of the two wheels are interlaced, allowing the wheels to rotate freely and prevent jamming. When the watch is operating normally, it indicates that the dial train is moving forward in the same direction on average; at this time, the dynamic change of the teeth is not obvious. But if you pull the crown out to the hand setting position and adjust the hand forward and backward, then every time you change the direction of the crown, you will notice the dynamic changes in the wheel. In addition, when you pull or push the crown, the other wheel and the wheel of the wheel are intertwined, causing significant dynamic changes. For example, when you set the watch to the "front" action and push the crown forward, you will feel the minute hand beating slightly. After completing the above setup procedure, your watch will run smoothly and accurately display the time and date.
