How to Set the Time on Your Legacy Bronze Watch

Quick Answer

Gently pull the crown to the second position (time-setting mode), rotate it to set the hands, then push it back fully. Your Legacy Bronze uses a standard manual-wind movement — no screw-down crown to fuss with.

Setting Your Legacy Bronze Watch: FAQ

How do I set the time?

Pull the crown out to the second position (you’ll feel two distinct clicks — the first is for winding, the second for time setting). Turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in fully to resume normal operation.

Is there a screw-down crown?

No. The Legacy Bronze uses a standard push-pull crown. Just pull it out to set, then press it back in. There’s no need to unscrew or lock it.

Should I wind it before setting the time?

Yes. For best accuracy, wind the crown clockwise about 20–30 turns before pulling to the time-setting position. This ensures the movement has enough power reserve to run steadily after you set it. Always wind first, then set the time — not the other way around.

Do I have to avoid setting the time at certain hours?

On most mechanical movements, it’s safe to change the time whenever you like. Just avoid quick date changes between 9 PM and 3 AM (if your model has a date complication). The Legacy Bronze does not include a date window, so this isn’t a concern. The lack of a date window makes time setting simpler and safer at any hour.

How do I care for the bronze case while handling it?

Avoid using moisture or oils on the crown or case. If your hands are sweaty or greasy, wipe them dry before touching the crown. This prevents uneven patina and keeps the crown stem free of residue. After setting, you can gently buff the case with a microfiber cloth if desired. Dry hands help maintain an even patina on the bronze.
