    Watch Care

    Astor Online is committed to helping our customers take care of their watches. Use the below links to find tips on your watch and how to take care of it. If you don't see your watch in this list, then we haven't added it to our site yet. Check back often as our website is constantly being updated.

    Watch Care - Tips for the Rolex Datejust
    Pos. 1 - Wearing position

    Fully screwed-down crown.  In this position the Datejust chronometer is warranted pressure-proof to a depth of 330 feet (100 meters).  The watch is ready to be worn.
    Pos. 2 - Hand winding position

    Crown unscrewed to the point where it is free of the screw threads.  Watch is in position for hand winding if necessary.
    Pos. 3 - Date change position

    Crown pulled out to the first notch.  Turning the crown clockwise advances the date rapidly which is particularly useful at the end of a month of less than 31 days. (Turning the crown counter-clockwise has no effect).  During these operations, the watch movement continues to function normally.
    Pos. 4 - Time setting position

    Crown pulled out to the last notch.  Position for resetting the hands either clockwise or counter-clockwise.  The second hand is stopped automatically and will not advance again until the crown is pushed back to Position 2.  Screw the crown down fully to make the watch pressure-proof once again.
