I guess you could manually set the watch to a date close to the event typically 3/21, 6/21, 9/21 and 12/21 and if it doesn’t hit try the dates next to it. Once you hit the correct date the solstice and equinox information will display. Not easy but if you absolutely must figure it out this will do it.

No way to look up the next event.

Tomorrow. A day earlier than usual because of leap year.

This is actually an ana-digi movement construction. Different than a mechanical movement. The two have very different capabilities. The big strength of the ana-digi is that the chip enables you to do complex astronomical calculations, something a mechanical movement simply isn't capable of.

We custom made the entire thing. Yeebo out of Hong Kong produces the LCD. An older technology, but incredibly power effective. Beats any other screen technology in that regard. This has gotta be one of the most complex ever produced. https://www.instagram.com/p/BoM4Gn-nREm/

We use the largest memory Epson chip made for use in watches and overlaid our own proprietary programming on it based on algorithms received from NASA. Pre-programmed for 650 cities worldwide, automatically adjusts for DST.

The analog hand movement is a Swiss Ronda motor driven 12-hour movement slowed via the master chip to 24-hours. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5x6aDJHyar/
