Setting the time on a watch should be simple, and with the Rolex Day-Date, it is! If you’re new to this iconic watch or need a refresher on adjusting its settings, this guide is for you. We’ll walk you through the easy steps to ensure your Day-Date is always ticking accurately. Let’s dive in!
How Do You Adjust A Day-Date Watch?
If you need to adjust only the date, pull the crown out to the first position, which enables you to adjust the date. Rotate the crown counterclockwise to move the date forward or clockwise to move it backward. Continue turning the crown until the desired date is displayed.
To adjust the day and date on a Rolex Day-Date watch, you can follow these steps:
Adjusting the Date:
- If you need to adjust only the date, pull the crown out to the first position, which enables you to adjust the date.
- Rotate the crown counterclockwise to move the date forward or clockwise to move it backward.
- Continue turning the crown until the desired date is displayed.
Changing the Day:
- To adjust the day of the week, or the language in which the day is displayed, you’ll need to continue rotating the crown counterclockwise beyond the first position. This allows you to change the day independently from the time or date.
- Keep turning the crown counterclockwise until the day changes to the desired setting. It may take a few full revolutions to cycle through the available options.
- Ensure that the day is correctly aligned with the date and the language preference.
How Do You Set The Time On A Day-Date?
Unscrew the crown by gently turning it counterclockwise until it pops out slightly from the case. Pull the crown out to the second position, which allows you to adjust the time. Rotate the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to set the desired time. Be mindful of the AM/PM indication to ensure accurate time setting. Once the correct time is set, push the crown back in and screw it down firmly in a clockwise direction to ensure water resistance.
