Question:
Can I change the date at any time? No, here's why...
Setting The Date On Mechanical Watches
- Never change the date manually when the hour hand is about the 9 and 3.. Adjusting the date with the quick-set can damage the movement in this position.
- Never wind the hands back beyond the 12-midnight position, this can damage the movement.
- Some watches with complex movements and/or features require special care; please check the instructions that came with the watch.
