Hey, guys. Michael Sims here, owner and founder of Hook & Gaff. Today we're gonna go over how to set the moonphase mechanism on your Sportfisher II Moonphase watch.

The first thing we're gonna do is look online or look in the newspaper and find out what the current phase of the moon is, and what you're looking for is the current position. We're gonna try to match that position with the mechanism on the watch.

The moon on your watch moves from right to left across the dial, and it will read full right in the center. Once we've found out the current position of the moon, we're gonna unscrew the crown, pull the crown out all the way to position three where you set the time, and in this position you're also gonna be able to set the moon on this watch.

You do that by moving forward 24 hours in time, and as we approach the midnight hour, you will actually see the moon click over one position, and you'll hear the click, too. I wanna caution against going backwards to try to set the moon.

Actually damage the movement, so we wanna caution against that and just make sure you go forwards. If you have to catch it up 10 or 12 positions, it may take you a few minutes to do that. But that's the correct way to do it.

Then when you're done with that, you're gonna apply a bit of force and screw the crown down at the same time until it's tight against the case. This will ensure water-resistance for your watch.
