Fly me to the moon! How do you change the date on these things?

My wife bought this for our anniversary! The dial is such a stunner! We live in vegas, and the last mid century design, with the Sinatra signature is pretty cool, it reminds me of a simpler time. Unfortunately, I had to change the strap. I liked it but it was a deployment strap that kept digging into my wrist. I swapped it out for a Timex leather strap, which are very comfortable and good looking..plus I like the quick release option. Does anyone know how to change the date on these things?

Pretty sure these have a Miyota 8 series movement. Should be able to pull the crown out 1 click to adjust the date by spinning the crown. Not sure which direction. One way will spin the date wheel, the other way will do nothing since there's no "day" complication. Then you can just push the crown back in.

Dip in water 3x and then you have to say the Magic words, “ AbrA Cadabra chango!!”

Then hand it to your wife

She probably knows how to change it.

Yep! That worked. It was a little tricky getting it to that “one click”…I turned the crown down towards me, I guess that would be counter clockwise. Now I know it is the 5th! Not that it matters, I really can’t see it. Lol. Thanks.
