Analog Watches

How Do I Set The Date On My Analog Watch?

It's easy. Follow these steps:

  1. To adjust the date on your watch, gently pull the crown out as far as it goes and set your watch to 6:30.
  2. Next, lightly push the crown halfway in and turn it towards you.
  3. As you turn crown towards you, you’ll see the date change in the date window. Set the date.
  4. Now turn the crown away from you to set the day.
  5. When you're done setting the day and date, gently pull the crown back out and set the time.
  6. Push the crown all the way back in and the time is set.

The chrono second hand is the long hand on your chronograph watch that may look like a regular second hand. The chronograph is the original stopwatch used for timing boats, cars and planes. Leaving this running at all times will dramatically reduce the life of your battery and eventually the movement of your watch. The chronograph can be started and stopped by using the start/stop pusher. To reset the chronograph to the 12 o’clock or zero second position, use the reset pusher. When the chronograph second hand does not return exactly to the zero second position after it has been reset, you may have to recalibrate it. To recalibrate your chrono:

  1. PULL the crown out to the second position.
  2. PRESS the start pusher to set the chronograph second hand to the zero position.
  3. PRESS and HOLD the start button to rapidly advance the chrono second hand.
  4. Once the chronograph second hand has been recalibrated, reset the time and return the crown to its normal position.

Important: Do not push the crown back to its normal position while you are returning the chrono hand to the zero position.

Automatic watches are handmade with hundreds of moving mechanical parts, which typically makes them less accurate than a quartz movement. Each watch movement is slightly different with different accuracy levels. The tolerance specifications for the automatic movement range from +40 to -10 seconds a day (Or +20 minutes to -5 minutes per month). If the watch gets out of these tolerances, the movement can be adjusted by the Repair Center or a certified watch technician.

To get your analog watch ticking, remove the plastic crown stopper and push the crown in the watch case- the seconds hand should start moving.
