CAMPANOLA lunar age watch
The CAMPANOLA lunar age is an analog quartz watch which displays
positions of the Sun and Moon and lunar age changing gradually with time.
The large 24-hour dial, which clearly shows time in a day, and the lunar age
dial at the center of the watch show relationship between lunar age and wax
and wane of the Moon. The watch is useful for star watching as it provides
the following information: direction and altitude of the Sun; approximate
direction and altitude of the Moon; local sidereal time; direction and altitude
of Sirius and Arcturus; determination of astronomical twilight. In addition,
the watch shows time of sunrise and sunset; it is useful also for everyday life.

Main features
• Lunar age display feature with smooth continuous movement and small
accumulated error owing to the 24-hour dial, which indicates time in the
one-day cycle rotation, and the lunar age dial, which has almost the same
rotation cycle as the average cycle of movement of the Moon on the celestial
sphere. The figure of eight showing the annual locus of the Sun on the 24-
hour dial (analemma) and the direction of the lunar age marker on the
lunar age dial show the lunar age and positional relationship of the Sun and
Moon and you can see the moon shape easily by referring to the waxing and
waning patterns on the former dial.
• Indication feature of direction and altitude of the Sun and sunrise/sunset
determination feature, which are useful in everyday life. You can see the
direction and altitude of the Sun all through the year and determine sunrise
and sunset by using the position of the Sun on the analemma, the azimuth
and altitude lines and the sunrise/sunset line on the transparent dial. You
can also see sunrise/sunset time.
12
• Astronomical twilight determination feature, which can estimate darkness
level of the sky and useful for sky watching. You can also find starting/
ending time of astronomical twilight using the altitude −18° line on the
transparent dial.
• Indication feature of direction and altitude of the Moon and moonrise/
moonset determination feature, which are highly needed for sky watching
and useful as a support of astronomical twilight determination. You can
see the approximate position of the Moon on the celestial sphere as well as
approximate determination of moonrise/moonset by reading the position
of the Moon with the 24-hour dial and the moonrise/moonset line on the
transparent dial. You can see influence of moonlight by referring to lunar
age, in addition.
13
English
• Local sidereal time display feature, which is useful for finding constellation.
You can find the local sidereal time by reading the 24-hour marker on the
dial ring corresponding to the day marker of the current day on the rim of
the 24-hour dial.
• Rise/set determination and direction/altitude indication features of Sirius
and Arcturus, which are the brightest stars in the southern/northern
hemisphere respectively. You can see their direction and altitude as well as
rise/set determination by reading their positions in the first, eleventh and
twenty-first days of each month on their loci on the 24-hour dial and the
azimuth and altitude lines on the transparent dial.

Setting the time and 24-hour/lunar age dials
* Tip for pulling out the crown: If you find it difficult to pull out the crown, do not try to force it.
Push the crown back in once and insert the nail of your right middle finger lightly at its neck
from the rear cover side rotating it a little to set it to the 1-click position. In the 1-click position,
you can perform fast correction of the 24-hour and lunar age dials. To pull out the crown to
the 2-click position, hold it between the nails of your right thumb and middle finger and pull it
out a little strongly while rotating it slightly. The crown moves to the 2-click position and the
second hand stops. You can set the hour and minute hands in the 2-click position. The 24-hour
and lunar age dials move in conjunction with the hands.
◆◆Setting the time
1. Pull the crown out to the 2-click position as the second hand points
0 second.
2. Rotate the crown to set hour and minute hands to the current time.
Move the minute hand 4 or 5 minutes forward and return to the correct
time when setting it.
3. Push the crown in to the normal position in accordance with a reliable
time source.

◆◆Setting the 24-hour/lunar age dials
4. Find out the lunar age.
* Look up the next day's lunar age (lunar age at noon) in a newspaper or on
the Internet. As the lunar age advances by 1 every day, you can find out
the current lunar age by converting hours from current time to the next
day's noon into day and subtract the value from the next day's lunar age.
For example, if the next day's lunar age is 5.8 (lunar age at noon) and it is
17:00 of the current day, convert 19 hours (from 17:00 to the next 12:00)
into 0.8 days (19/24 = approx. 0.8) and subtract the value from 5.8, and
you get 5 as the current lunar age.
5. Check the difference between longitude of the observation point and
that of standard time covering the point.

6. Pull the crown out to the 1-click position and rotate it to move the lunar
age pointer on the lunar age dial to point the value got in step 4 on the
lunar age makers on the 24-hour dial through the shorter course.
* Rotate the crown to the left to increase the lunar age (the 24-hour and
lunar age dials turn to the right). Rotate it to the right to decrease the age
(the dials turn to the left).
