Unscrew the crown and pull it out to the first notch. The second notch is used to change the time on the watch.

Turn the crown clockwise until the date changes and reaches the correct date. If you turn the crown counter clockwise you can damage the movement.

Push the crown back to its original position and hold it down while you screw it back into the watch case.
