  After setting the time, use a time signal to synchronize the watch by pushing crown to the normal 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)

D) 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.
  D-1) SETTING THE AGE OF THE MOON
  Pull the crown out to the 1st position.
  Turn the crown clockwise to advance the moon phase.
  D-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 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.

D-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 D) 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.
  D-4) READING THE AGE OF THE MOON

| New moon Moon’s age: 0 Spring tide
---|---
| First quarter moon Moon’s age: 7 Neap tide
| Full moon Moon’s age: 15 Spring tide
| Last quarter moon Moon’s age: 22 Neap tide

• 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 to set 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).

E) SETTING THE MONTH (BY QUICK OPERATION)

Each time the month-adjustment button 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 can not 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.)

F) SETTING THE DATE (BY QUICK OPERATION)

Pull the crown 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.
These specifications might be changed without prior notice.
