To set the date in traditional MICHELE date watches, turn the crown either clockwise or counterclockwise. The direction depends on the movement and may vary.
This method is used when a rapid date correction is required. The date should not be changed between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. At this time, the watch mechanism is in a position to carry out this operation automatically, and any interference can damage the movement.
To set the date in chronograph models, follow these steps:
pull the crown out to the second position;
turn the crown until you see the correct date;
push the crown back to the first position (when it is fully pushed in).
In some chronographs, the date can be adjusted using both the second and the third positions of the crown.
