From the Chronocentric Technical Guide:
It is generally NOT a good idea to change the date on a non-digital watch within +/-3 hours of midnight. Remember, the watch date mechanism is mechanical (even on a quartz watch), so uses gears and other components to advance the date. Manually changing the date while the mechanism is engaging can push the gears out of alignment. Normally, this does not cause damage, but can alter the exact time that the date will change--usually further from midnight.
