How to use the 24-hour hand
This watch has two different types of 24-hour hand usage.
Time difference adjustment function
For example, while traveling abroad and staying in a place with a different 
time from where you live, you can conveniently set the watch to indicate 
the local time in the different time zone area without stopping the watch.  
The hour hand indicates the time of the place where you currently are, 
while the 24-hour hand indicates the time of the place of origin.
The calendar works in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand. If 
the time difference is correctly adjusted, the watch displays the correct 
date of the place where you are staying. 
How to use the time difference adjustment function
①  Make sure that the mainspring is sufficiently wound and the watch is 
working.
※  When setting the hour hand to use the time difference 
adjustment function, ensure that the watch is working. 
② Unlock the crown.
⇒  "How to use the screw-lock type crown" page 16.
③ Pull out the crown to the first click. 
<Type 1>  24-hour hand as an 
AM/PM indicator 
Simply using the 24-hour hand 
to show the 24-hour time as an 
AM/PM indicator. (This is  the 
standard usage type for the 24-
hour hand.)
<Type 2>  24-hour hand as a dual time 
indicator 
Using  the  time  difference  adjustment 
function,  set  the  24-hour  hand  to 
indicate a time different from the time 
that the hour and minute hand indicate, 
which is of a place in a different time 
zone  area  with  at  least  one  hour  of 
time difference from where you are. 
⑤  Upon  completion  of  setting,  make  sure  that  the  time  indicated  is 
correct, and then push the crown back in. The calendar setting is now 
completed. Relock the crown. 
⇒ "How to use the screw-lock type crown" page 16.
※  The calendar is designed to work in conjunction with the movement of the hour 
hand,  therefore,  if  AM/PM  is  incorrectly  set,  the  calendar  will  be  off  by  12 
hours.
※  The crown can be turned in either direction to adjust the date, however, it is 
recommended to  turn the crown in the direction which enables you to set the 
date with a smaller adjustment.
※  Turn  the  crown  slowly,  checking  that  the  hour  hand  moves  in  one-hour 
increments.
※  When adjusting the hour hand, the other hands may move slightly. However, this 
is not a malfunction. 
Tips for more accurate time setting
To ensure effective operation of the Spring Drive mechanism, observe the 
following instructions when you set the time.
① Before setting the time, make sure to wind the mainspring sufficiently. 
  (Ensure that the power reserve indicator is showing a full-wound state.)
②  When  starting  to  use  a  watch  after  it  stops,  wind  the  mainspring 
sufficiently.  To  set  the  time  after  that,  wait  for  approximately  30 
seconds  after  the  second  hand  (or  the  small  second  hand)  starts 
moving, then pull the crown out to the second click.
③  The second hand (or the small second hand) will stop moving when 
the crown is pulled out to the second click. Do not stop the movement 
of  the  second  hand  (or  the  small  second  hand)  for  longer  than  30 
minutes. If the stoppage of the second-hand (or the small-second-hand) 
movement exceeds 30 minutes, push the crown back in, and wait for 
approximately 30 seconds after the second hand (or the small second 
hand) restarts moving, and then set the time.
④  If you set the time when the time the watch indicates is between 9:00 
p.m. and 1:00 a.m., set the hour hand back to 8:00 p.m. temporarily, 
and then set the time. (This procedure is required to ensure the proper 
engagement of the calendar driving wheels.)
Both the hour hand and the 24-
hour  hand  are  indicating  the 
Japan time 10:00 a.m.
Hour hand: Japan time 10:00 a.m.
24-hour hand: New York time 8:00 p.m.
