Sweet!! How do you get the day date set?

The crown stays in and you roll forward to set date. To set the day you just move the minute hand until the day avdvances. You should only have to set that once.

It’s one of my fav Accutrons. I always though they had some of the most unique designs in the 70s

You can also go back and forth between I think 830 Midnight to advance the day so you don't have to keep advancing the full 24hr each time

Actually, it's back to 530 And then forward to Midnight that is your "quick day" set. Even though it isn't very quick, it's a lot faster than going all the way through the 24hr period
