1. Step-by-Step Instructions to Set the Time and Date on Atlantic Mariner

1. Understanding the Crown Positions

The Atlantic Mariner’s crown has three positions:

  • Position 0 (Screwed-in Position): The watch runs normally.
  • Position 1 (First Click – Date Setting Mode): Adjust the date.
  • Position 2 (Second Click – Time Setting Mode): Adjust the time (hacks the movement, stopping the second hand).

2. Unscrewing the Crown

  1. Turn the crown counterclockwise until it fully releases from the case.
  2. Once unscrewed, the crown will pop out to Position 0 (neutral).

3. Setting the Time

  1. Pull the crown to the second click (Position 2).

    • The second hand will stop (hacking feature).

  2. Turn the crown to set the time.

    • Keep turning until you reach the correct time.
    • To ensure AM/PM is set correctly, move the hands past 12:00 and check if the date changes. If it does, you are in the AM period; if not, continue turning another 12 hours.

  3. Push the crown back to Position 0 to restart the movement.

4. Setting the Date

  1. Pull the crown to the first click (Position 1).
  2. Turn the crown clockwise to change the date.
    • Never adjust the date between 8:00 PM and 4:00 AM, as this could damage the movement.
  3. Push the crown back in to finalize the setting.

5. Screwing the Crown Back In

  1. Gently press the crown inward while turning it clockwise.
  2. Keep turning until it is snug against the case—do not overtighten.
    • Avoid applying too much pressure, as this can strip the threads and damage the crown.

6. Winding the Movement (If Necessary)

If the watch has stopped, manually wind it before setting the time:

  • In Position 0, turn the crown clockwise about 20–40 times to build power.

Additional Tips

  • Always set the time forward, not backward, to avoid damaging the movement.
  • Wind the watch if it has been inactive before setting the time and date.
  • Be gentle when screwing down the crown—pressing too hard can breach the threads and damage the case.

2. Step-by-Step Instructions to Set the Time and Date on  Elegance and Evergreen

If the watch has stopped due to inactivity, manually wind it before setting the time:

  • In Position 0, turn the crown clockwise about 20–40 times to build power.

Additional Tips

  •  Always set the time forward, not backward, to prevent movement damage.
  •  If unsure whether it’s AM or PM, move the time past 12:00 and check if the date changes.
  •  Be gentle when screwing down the crown—pressing too hard can damage the threads and compromise water resistance.
  •  If your watch is inactive for an extended period, give it a few winds before wearing.
