C. Correcting the Hour Hand and Date
· Since the date changes in coordination with the hour hand, it cannot be corrected
independently. The date is changed by continuously advancing the hour hand.
· The hour hand and date can be corrected for 10 seconds after pressing button (B), or
for 10 seconds after the hour hand has stopped moving after correcting the hour
hand. The watch automatically returns to the normal display if the crown is not
operated for 10 seconds.
<Correction Procedure>
(1) Put the crown in the normal position.
(2) Press button (B) once.
· The shorter end of the second hand moves to the SET or ±0 position to indicate that
the watch has entered the time difference correction mode.
(3) When the crown is turned continuously (by two or more clicks), the hour hand
moves continuously.
· When the crown is turned continuously to the right, the hour hand moves
continuously in the forward (clockwise) direction.

Examples:
In the case of December in a leap year: Align the second hand at the 0 seconds position.
(The area between 12:00 and 1:00 is the December zone. The first graduation of a month
zone is a leap year.)
In the case of April in the third year after the most recent leap year: Align the second
hand at the 23 seconds position. (The area between 4:00 and 5:00 is the April zone. The
fourth graduation of a month zone is the third year after the most recent leap year.)
Note:
· If the second hand is attempted to be corrected by turning by two or more revolutions
from month and year when the crown is pulled out to the first position, the second hand
stops when it has made two revolutions, and automatically returns to previous indication
of the month and year.
(3) After correcting the month and year, return the crown to the normal position. The
second hand returns to the current time and begins to move.
<Setting to a Non-Existent Date>
If the month has been changed after setting the date causing the date to be set to a non-
existent date, the date is automatically changed to the first day of the following month
when the crown is returned to the normal position from the correction mode.
