When Can a Mechanical Watch Not Adjust the Time, and when is the Best Time to Adjust the Time?

Today's mechanical watches are more and more complicated, and many mechanical watches are displayed with a day and a calendar. Many people will have such questions, how to adjust the time, week, and calendar for a new mechanical watch? When is the best time to adjust? Let's listen to us in detail below.

Ⅰ. When can a custom mechanical watch not adjust the time?

1. Do not adjust the date from 22:00 to 2:00 (some watches from 20:00 to 4:00), which may cause damage to the wrist watch and incorrect calendar jumps.

2. In order to prolong the service life of mechanical watches, many watches use the slow-jump method, that is, gradually jump around midnight. Generally, it is normal to complete the jump before 2:00 in the morning, and some watches will be completed at 4:00 in the morning. .

3. It can be adjusted if the calendar jumps during the day. If you find that the calendar jumps around noon during the day, the time of the watch is usually 12 hours faster or slower. For example, it is actually 11 am now, but the mechanical watch is the day before. At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, you only need to turn the hour hand of the watch one lap to change the afternoon to the morning. This situation is relatively common, about 50% probability.

4. Generally, custom mechanical watches need to be dialed clockwise for time adjustment, not counterclockwise. Turning the watch counterclockwise can easily cause the deviation of the pointer of the watch (the quartz two-hand type should be turned counterclockwise). Pay special attention, if it is worn on the left hand and adjusted with the right hand, the forward rotation is clockwise.

5. The style of the watch is different, and the adjustment method is also different, but the factors of morning and afternoon need to be considered when adjusting the watch with the calendar function.

Ⅱ. What about the custom mechanical watch to adjust the week and date?

Knowing when a custom mechanical watch can't adjust the time, let's take a look at how to set the week and calendar. After all, more and more watches have calendars now.

1. The day and calendar cannot be adjusted from 21:00 to 3:00 in the morning, which will hurt the mechanical watch. The beating of the calendar is driven by gears, usually slowly.

2. Different from the mechanical watch and the quartz watch, the date and week of the quartz watch are jumped at zero, and this kind of accuracy only appears in the electronic watch. Analog mechanical watches are not as precise and can be advanced or delayed because the date and week are pushed by a rim.

3. If you skip words at the same time, the driving force is very demanding. So change them separately. Generally, the week change will be skipped within half to several hours after the date change.

4. If you encounter the date of the watch, it will jump at 11:00, 12:00, and 1:00 pm. Don't worry, just turn the hour hand clockwise one week and reset the date.

5. The adjustment button in the middle has two gears, the first gear is to adjust the date, and the second gear is to adjust the time. When adjusting the first gear, rotate backward to adjust the date, and rotate forward to adjust the week. If the watch itself does not display the day of the week, there is no need to set the day of the week.
