UPO - Setting the Date

[TommyW]

Hello,

I've tried the search function but it hasnt turned up anything

Is there a time period where you should or shouldnt set the date on the UPO? mine is currently running as midnight as midday (and the date wheel roles over) and vice versa, no matter when I seem to change the date it doesnt seem to matter

im sure I just need to correct it at a certain point but if anyone has any ideas how and when to do it i'd appreciate the help

many thanks

I´m not shure, if I understand right, but you say, your watch changes date at Midday? Try to switch it 12 hours ahead, so it will change at midnight ...

At a three-hands-watch there is no phase, where you shouldn´t set the watch ... this is only by the 7750 and A7750 movements beetween 10 and 2 in the night ... correct me, if I´m wrong ...

Yep...

At, say, 6 (pm or am doesn't matter) set the date to one day BEFORE the actual date. Then use the crown at the last position to change the time... Move the hours forward until that triggers the change of days and that sets the day to be the real one... Then you know you are in the morning... continue forward until you are at the real time of the day you are.

You are then done, the day will actually change at midnight, not noon!

As the others have said, you just need to adjust the time forward 12 hours

That, in a nut shell in addition to the other posters is what sounds like the problem is. Advance 12 hours... Adjust accordingly (Go around the horn once Example for 1PM after date change) and be good.

No worries, wait till you get a GMT. That will throw you off a bit.
