I just purchased a vintage Datora, pictured below:

The only issue I have with it is that I can't seem to change the date - the crown only pulls out one stop, and moving it changes the time. Should it have two stops, one for the date and one for the time? Everything else works (ie the chronograph).

Thanks in advance.

Not familiar with the specific model, but it likely doesn't have a quick set date function, in which case the only way to change the date is by changing the time - just wind it forward through repeated 24 hour cycles until the date is correct - making sure you get your am / pm correct when on the right date!
