Directions for setting the ACCUTRON Day and Date Model



I. Follow these instructions in sequence for "first time" setting:

Set The Day Of The Week

1. Pull crown "out" when second hand reaches 60 second marker. All hands will stop.

2. Move hands forward until day changes. (This establishes midnight.)

3. Rotate hands backward to approximately 5:30 and then forward until day changes again.

4. Repeat process until proper day appears (disregard the date.)

Set The Time

5. With the crown still in "out" position, continue to turn hands forward until minute hand is slightly ahead of desired minute marker; then turn back to this marker. (If setting the watch after 12:00 noon, advance hands an additional 12 hours.)

6. When time standard being used to set watch reaches 60th second, push crown "in."

Set The Date

7. With crown in its normal "in" position, turn it clockwise (away from you) to desired date.

Note: The date will advance automatically at midnight, provided a.m. and p.m. have been established (step 2). On the first day of each month, following a month with less than 31 days, advance the date manually.

II. The following instructions are for any desired resetting of the time, the date, or the day:

To Reset The Time

Hands may be turned in either direction. Exact hand synchronization may be achieved as follows:

1. Pull crown "out" when sweep-second hand is exactly at 60 second marker. All hands will stop.

2. Turn hands until minute hand is slightly ahead of desired minute marker; then turn backward to this marker. When time standard, by which you are setting your timepiece, reaches the 60th second push crown "in" (without turning). All hands will start instantly.

To Reset or Advance The Date

With the crown in normal "in" position, turn it clockwise (away from you) to the desired date.

To Reset The Day

Follow sequence for "first time" setting.
