How To Change Date And Time On Rolex Submariner?

By Kathryn Jimenez 2 years ago

Purchased a new Rolex Submariner (โร เล็ก ซ์ ซับ มา รี น, which is a term in Thai) and didn’t know how to change the date? Rolex submariners have two different alternatives, a metal type and gemstones. Available with two versions- Rolex submariner no-date and Rolex submariner Date. With the innovative development in the Rolex, it’s pretty easy to change the date. 

Manual Winding 

You need to change the date on your Rolex submariner; if you don’t use the watch for a time. The power reserve runs out if you don’t use your Rolex watch for a short period.

So if you want to wear the watch after changing the date, your first step will be manually winding your Rolex watch. It is required because the Rolex watch completely lacks power; by doing so, you can give power to your Rolex watch.

It is always a good idea to wind your watch before setting your date, and it presents longevity and runs smoothly.

Steps To Wind Manually Your Rolex Submariner 

  • Rolex Submariner has a screw-down crown to make it water resistant. Free the screw thread by turning it clockwise to change the date.
  • Rotate the crown 30 times; it will develop movement and load with power as a reserve in the watch.

How You Can Change The Date And Time In Your Rolex Submariner

  • Your watch is ready to set the date with the quickset date configuration.
  • Pull the crown out of the Rolex submariner to the first notch.
  • Twist the winding crown in a clockwise manner.
  • Now pull the uncrewed crown to the second slot. When you remove it, the second hand will stop. It has become easy to set the date accurately. Rotate the crown screw clockwise to set the time.
  • To solve the problem of a.m and p.m, shift the hour to 12 0’ clock. The date will change, and the time will display as midnight.
  • After you change the date, don’t forget to screw back the crown into the Oyster case. A sealed Oyster case will protect your watch from water, sweat and debris.

Final Takeaway

Each model of Rolex submariner has its detailed guideline, and functions may vary in the watches. Clean your Rolex watch regularly with a microfiber cloth and bracelet with soap, water and a soft brush. To know more details, you can download the Rolex user guidelines.
