How to set your watch
First of all, it is essential to understand that adjusting a watch, as simple as it may seem, remains a delicate watchmaking operation.
Each manipulation must be carried out with care and attention to detail in order to understand how the watch works and, above all, to avoid any damage.
In this section, we will guide you through the general steps for adjusting a watch, whether quartz or automatic. It should be noted that some details may vary from model to model, such as the type of crown used, whether it is a screw-down or simple crown.
How to Adjust a Quartz Watch
Adjusting quartz watches is certainly the simplest to do. To help you adjust your watch. Here is a video that shows you all the steps to follow.
How an automatic watch
Setting the time on an automatic watch can be a little trickier than setting the time on a quartz watch.
It is important to note that there is an additional step in setting the time and adjusting an automatic watch, namely winding the watch. This operation consists of turning the winding crown to provide energy to the mechanism. Then, your watch's automatic system will take over for winding the watch.
Adjusting the moon phase mechanism
Adjusting a moon phase mechanism requires a little time and concentration. Here are the steps to follow:
- Step 1: Pull the crown out to the second notch . Then turn the hands clockwise to scroll through the days to the current date .
- Step 2: Once the correct day is reached, set the hour and minutes on your watch.
- Step 3: Push the crown back to the first notch . Then turn it counterclockwise to set the date .
- Step 4: Once the date is set, all you have to do is adjust the moon phase .
To do this, we recommend that you consult a lunar calendar site to know the exact position of the moon on the desired day.
Tip for precise adjustment:

Consult a lunar calendar to find out how many days have passed since the last full moon .
3. Then turn the moon phase indicator as many notches as there are days since that full moon.
