Hope someone can help me - just bought the olympus but setup instructions seem poor

is there a download of instructions somewhere to set up day, month and date and the moon phases or could someone help to tell me how to do this ?

many thanks in anticipation
Ian

"Functions other than the time are corrected or set by pressing with a slightly blunt point (like a ballpoint tip) on the watch's recessed correctors as follows:

1. Moonphases: Corrector 1, located between 2 and 3 o'clock.

2. Date: Corrector 2, at 8 o'clock.

3. Month: Corrector 3, between 9 and 10 o'clock.

4. Day of the week: Corrector 4, between 4 and 5 o'clock."

Edit: Not sure if this works on your model, but generally, set the moon phase/date/month/day and date to yesterday and then move the hour hand forward past midnight and it should all tick over together. This helps with the correct am/pm settings.

great many thanks - now realised dealer has put in the wrong instructions in the box! - however, they are going to send new ones out - but only in Jan!

your instructions very helpful allows to me set it up correctly in time for xmas

Many thanks again
Ian

No problem, enjoy it.

My manual also suggests that you do not change the settings between 8pm and 3 am.

Hi I am a proud new owner of the Montbrillant Olympus and I would need the help for seting up the moon phase.
The manual doesn't explain what to look for, I know that tomorrow is the full moon and I read that it is best to set it up on that day, not sure if it is true or not.
Anyway if someone could explain to me what to do it would be great.
Thanks.
