I. How to unlock


Normally, the crown is recessed and locked. (Figure 1)
Wind the crown towards you, then loosen it.
After loosening it for a while, it will reach the state shown in Figure 2, and you will be able to operate it.


II. How to wind the mainspring (as shown in Figure 2)


With the lock released, turn the crown inwards to wind the mainspring.


III. How to set the date (as shown in Figure 3)


From the state shown in Figure 2, pull the crown out one step.
Turning the crown advances the date.


*Notes

Please adjust the date fast-forward to avoid the period between 8 PM and 4 AM.
The date is adjusted between approximately 8 PM and 4 AM, so adjusting it during this time will cause a malfunction due to the machine's design.

Turning it in the wrong direction may cause a malfunction, so please be careful.
The direction in which the crown rotates varies depending on the model.

Once you've set the time, push the crown in to the position shown in Figure 2 and turn it inwards.
The second hand will start moving once it's locked.
