What time does your date change on your ling when its the next day?

For example if todays the 1st and your watch is approaching 12am does the date go to the 2nd at 12:01 or later?

Mine seems to take change at 12:15am... Thanks!

This has been discussed a few times - it's hard to get the change exactly perfect, and different models also use different mechanisms. My Blacksteel starts to move fractionally at about 11pm and clicks over about on time, my Cockpit doesn't move a fraction until exactly midnight when both wheels click over.

The date on my ling starts to move at 11.45pm and finally clicks over at 11.57pm. I think it depends on the movement you have. Mine is a Breitling 17. :wink:

Adjust the time until the date changes (slowly when nearing 12:00), that will give you a better idea of exactly when the date changes over.

My Motors starts changing over just a minute or so before midnight and then it will do a quick change over right at midnight.

The calibre 13 is definitely one of the longer date change processes.

My Colt II SuperQuartz starts at 23h56. At 00h06 there is a "click" and the new date is shown. This is the only time I've ever heard my ling make any sound.
