Wow, how wrong yall are. There are three positions for the Carrera's push-down crown. The inner position is used for normal wear and winding. To wind the crown manually, simply rotate it clockwise. Changing the date on the Carrera is done from the middle crown position. Turn the crown clockwise to advance the date, one day at a time. Push the crown back to the inner position when finished. The outer crown position is used for setting the time. You can turn the crown in this position either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Adjust the time forward or backwards. Setting the time backwards will not damage the watch. When the time is correct, press the crown all the way into the inner position.
You do not have the ability to wind an automatic using the crown stem, as automatic means that the watch is a self winder. A small swing counter weight actually winds the watch as you move your arm back and forth. That counter weight is just weighty enough to fully wind the watch after so many swings of the arm, and will not wind past a point of the strength of the watch spring countering the swinging weight.
