SETTING THE DAY AND TIME (HOUR, MINUTE AND SECOND)
The hour, minute, second and day are set by the following sequence.
SETTING PROCEDURE
DAY →HOUR →MINUTE →SECOND
1) SETTING THE DAY
Pull the crown (part C) out to the 2nd position to stop the second hand at 0 (12 o'clock).
Turn the hour/minute hands in a clockwise direction to set a day
In order to set the day, you must advance the hour hand by 24 hours per day.
NOTE:
* If the day is set by turning the crown counterclockwise, there is the possibility the
date will not change over.
Do not set the day by turning the crown in counterclockwise direction.
* The day changes somewhere between 0:00a.m. and 5:30a.m. or a little later.
2) SETTING THE TIME
After setting the day, set the hour, 24 hour and minute hands. Turn the crown (part C)
in a clockwise direction to set the time. To ensure time is set accurately, first turn
crown (part C) until the minute hand is 5 minutes ahead of desired time and then turn
back (in a counterclockwise) to the desired time.
After setting the time, use a time signal to synchronize the watch by pushing crown to
the normal “0” position to start the second hand going.
NOTE:
Make sure you have correctly set AM/PM before setting the time.
When the day changes over, it is a.m..
(Day changes over between 0:00a.m. and 5:30a.m. or little later)

3) SETTING AND READING THE AGE OF THE MOON
* The moon phase represents the age of the moon, the actual shape of the moon during each
phase is not represented.
* Use the moon phase only as a guide to the age and phase of the moon when reading and
setting watch.
1) SETTING THE AGE OF THE MOON
Pull the crown (part C) out to the 1st position. Turn the crown clockwise to advance the moon
phase.
2) SETTING THE AGE OF THE MOON WITH AGE SCALE
* Check on the age of the moon for the day. Check the newspaper or other source for the age or
phase of the moon for today or tomorrow. Subtract one day before a setting is made if the
listings for tomorrow are used.
* Setting procedure (Example: age of the moon:4.4)
Pull the crown (part C) out to the 1st position.
Turn the moon disc clockwise until the center of the moon is in line with 4.4 on the scale.
3) SETTING THE AGE OF THE MOON WITHOUT THE AGE SCALE
* Check the newspaper or other source that lists current age or phase of the moon. Referring to
section 3) Reading the age of the moon, set the moon phase to the age (0,7,15 or 22) closest to
the listed. More accurate setting can be made at the same time of the new moon (0) or full
moon(15).
THE AGE OF THE MOON
The age of the moon is indicated in units of days. The average period from a new moon to the
next new moon is equivalent to about 29.5 days.
*
From the phase of the moon in the display, you can tell the size of the tide.
. If you want to set more accurately the phases of the moon, we recommend setting it at
the time of a New Moon (The Moon is hidden in the display…New Moon) or a Full
Moon (The Moon appears fully in the display…Full Moon).

4) SETTING THE MONTH (BY QUICK OPERATION)
Each time the month-adjustment button (part B) is pushed, the month advances one month
at a time. Be sure to press firmly on the button when making month changes.
NOTE:
* Do not set the month when the date hand is between the 26th and 31st. Move the date hand
out of this period. After this operation, return the date hand to the proper setting. (When the
date hand is between the 26th and 31st, month quick setting cannot be made or if a quick
setting is attempted, the month may not advance to the next month as normal.)
* The month and date are synchronized such that when adjusting the date at the end of short
months (less than 31days), the month automatically adjusts to the correct month.
The month hand begins changing to the next month around midnight of the 30th day. It
completes the change around midnight of the 31st. (On the 31st, the position of the month
between the current and next month.)
5) SETTING THE DATE (BY QUICK OPERATION)
Pull the crown (part C) out to the 1st position. Turn the crown counterclockwise to set the date
quickly.
NOTE:
* Do not set the date between the hours 9:00p.m. and 0:30a.m.. The date may not change correctly
the next day.
