Tips for more accurate time setting
•
Keep in mind the following points in order to set the time more accurately.
1. Before setting the time, wind the mainspring sufficiently until the power reserve
indicator shows the fully-wound state.
2. When starting to use a watch after it stops, wind the mainspring sufficiently and
wait approximately 30 seconds after the second hand starts to move, then pull the
crown out to the second click.
3. Do not stop the second hand movement for 30 minutes or longer while the crown
is at the second click position. If the stoppage of the second hand movement
exceeds 30 minutes, push the crown back in to restart the second hand, wait at
least 30 seconds, and then carry out the time setting once again.
● How to set the moon phase
•
The moon phase represents the period from the time when the last new moon
occurred to noon of the current day in day increments.
´• The period between new moons is called a "synodic month," and its average
length is approximately 29.5 days.
1. Pull out the crown to the first click.
2. Slowly turn the crown counterclockwise (the 6 o'clock
position) to advance the moon phase by one. First, set
the moon phase to either "0" (new moon) or "15" (full
moon), then advance it one by one until it shows the
correct moon phase.

*
Round off the number of moon phases to the near-
est whole number. (Example; 7.8 ➔ 8, 24.2 ➔ 24 )
*
Refer to the weather report of your local newspaper
for current moon phase information.
*
While the hour hand of the watch is between the 9
o'clock and 2 o'clock positions, do not adjust the
moon phase. If it is necessary to set the moon phase
during this time, pull out the crown to the second
click, turn the crown counterclockwise (the 6 o'clock
position) to temporarily advance the time past 2
o'clock, push the crown back to the first click, and
then adjust the moon phase.
3. Push the crown back in upon completion of moon
phase setting.
