You have to adjust the date every February (28 or 29 days), April, June, September and November (each 30 days). Self adjusting calendars are called Perpetual Calendars and this feature is quite expensive, especially in mechanical watches. Your watch has calendar ring with 31 days printed on and the simple calendar mechanism which is changing dates from 1 to 31 inclusive,day after day, so, when the 30-day month is ending and there is no 31st date to follow, your calendar is showing 31st anyway,instead of 1st of the next month. This is when you have to adjust date. Now about the date adjusting. If you pull out crown gently, you will notice there are two clicks (positions), not just one. So the first click, when crown is not pulled out fully, is exactly for day/date adjustment. If you pull the crown further out, watch is in hand adjustment mode. Try it carefully and you will find out the right position.

I'm looking for the manual instructions for my LANCASTER Watch 0346 I dont know how to adjust the date or knows about it

Pull out to the "winder" to the first click. this is to change the date. The second click is to change the time.

Changing the date - rotating the winder (if you were looking at it) in a clockwise directions changes the major decimal - the number on the left e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3. Rotating anticlockwise changes the lesser decimal - the number on the right e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Hope that helps.

I have Timex SR 920 SW watch, how to adjust the date and day?

Adjust the day of month (1-31) by pulling the crown pin out part way, and turning the pin counter clockwise, incrementing the date arm. Counterclockwise does nothing.

To adjust day of week (Mon-Sun), pull the pin out and rotate to turn minute/hour hands. Each time you pass 12:00, the weekday hand will increment by a half step.

I need to change the date on my Cartier Roadster (back 2 days). How do I do that?

Thank you for contacting FixYa.
  • Pull the crown of the analog/date Cartier watch and rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise until you see the date advance in the display window at about 1 a.m.
  • 2 Use the quick date set method by rotating the crown counterclockwise after reaching 1 a.m. until the hands reach 7:30 p.m. Then again rotate the crown clockwise back to 1 a.m. Repeat the procedure until the correct date is displayed.
  • 3 Adjust the date forward or backward 12 hours if your Cartier watch changes the date at the noon hour.


  • Best regards. Jewel

    How do I adjust the time and date on my Timex Expedition watch

    Hi, the upper of the two watch stems is turned counter clockwise (looking at the stem) until the desired function (i.e., format, date, time, chrono, timer) appears. To set that function, pull the upper stem out and turn CW to advance & CCW to go back. Once hours & minutes are set, the stem can be pushed in upon a mark to start at zero seconds. For the day of the week, turn the upper stem CCW until date appears. Pull out the stem, to detents or positions, and this will allow the day to be adjusted.

    Take care
