Monza has Quick-Set

: I just got a vintgage Heuer Monza with the
: crown on the left side. I was wondering if
: you could tell me if there is a way to set
: the date without
: going through the 24 hours of the day? I can't
: find an itermediate stop on the crown to
: just set the date, and not the time. Any
: help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
: Jeff

I believe that the Monza has a "quick-set" feature, as do all the Cal. 11 / 12 / 14 / 15 chronographs.

Turn the crown to advance the time; when it clicks over midnight, the date should advance by one day; then move the hands BACKWARDS to around 9:00 or 10:00 pm (and you should hear a soft "click" from the movement); then roll FORWARD again, and it should advance another day when it crosses midnight again.

Please confirm that this works.

Thanks for the posting and good luck with the Monza.

Jeff
