Evening all...

The Mrs brought me the attached watch from the gift shop in Le Mans a couple of years ago, and have never been able to set it correctly....

Popped into the same gift shop when I was back at the circuit a couple of weeks ago, and the watch is now discontinued and they have no idea.. the picture is not that clear, but the watch has three dials, day, date and 24 hour clock... dont suppose anyone on here has this watch and could offer any advice per-chance?

are there any other little buttons on the side of the case? the type you may find on a digital watch?

just a guess but the crown may have 2 or 3 possitions.

Try pulling it out to each different possion and wind clockwise and anti clockwise see what happens. Obviously stop if there is resistance and dont do it if the watch time is set so show between 10pm and 2 am wind it to 4 am or something.


Also quartz or mechanical? I guess its quartz yes? does it have anything on teh back identifying the movement/maker/model

There'll be inset buttons on the right by the crown. Look for little dimples. If that's an automatic movement, I am guessing it's a Chinese one.
