The moon phase of the Longines Xinyue series was one of its main features. The Moon Phase Disk was exquisitely designed, and it would take on a different shape every month. There was a delicate moon phase display window at the 6 o'clock position of the dial, which integrated the moon's waxing and waning into the dial design, allowing the wearer to feel the romance of the moon's changes while accurately timing. The different styles of the Heartmoon series of watches had a moon phase function that added a unique artistic beauty and romantic atmosphere to the overall design.

The moon phase of the Longines Xinyue series watch was to open a " half-moon " window on the dial, and the moon phase plate was usually made with a dark blue background. There were two sets of symmetrical patterns on it, two round moons, and a starry sky in the middle. Together with the dial window, as the moon phase plate moved slowly, the first quarter moon, full moon, and last quarter moon appeared in turn. The moon phase mainly recorded the movement of the moon and the day and night. Generally, the moon phase disk had 59 teeth, and one tooth would be moved every day. In this way, the cycle of each set of moon phase patterns was 29.5 days, symbolizing the cycle of the moon phase. The novel New Moon is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Longines Xinyue series moon phase watch has the following characteristics: - ** Exterior design **: The background of the dial is mostly white. Some of them are inlaid with diamonds to add a gorgeous feeling. The case is made of stainless steel and polished. The strap may be made of silica gel or stainless steel. For example, the Longines Xinyue series of moon phase Quartz Steel Belt Women's Watch had a soft and comfortable strap, and the stainless steel material of the case had been polished. There were also women's watches with lacquer painted Roman digits, moon phase display at 6 o'clock, and exquisite 30mm dial, which were both beautiful and practical. - [** Function **: The Moon Phase Disk is exquisitely designed and presents different shapes every month.] At the same time, it was also equipped with functions such as time, date, week, timer, etc. It had a shockproof design and an automatic winding system (mechanical model). The movement was carefully polished to ensure accuracy and stability, and it had a certain waterproof function, suitable for wearing in a variety of occasions. The novel New Moon is equally exciting.

First of all, you must determine the model of the Longines watch, because the adjustment method of the moon phase display is different for different models. You can check the watch manual or consult the brand customer service to determine the correct adjustment method. Then, he decided to adjust the time of the moon phase, usually on the first to third day after the full moon, or on the seventh to ninth day after the new moon. At this time, the error of the moon phase display was small. Then open the back cover of the watch. Before opening it, prepare adjustment tools, such as adjusting needles or clips. He found the moon phase display at 6 o'clock on the dial, and there was a small pointer pointing to a small circular window. The second hand had to be stopped before the adjustment. The way to stop it varied according to the model of the watch, usually by pulling the crown or pressing a specific button. After that, use tools such as adjusting needles or clips to gently turn the moon phase display plate so that the small pointer points to the correct position. During the process, you need to be careful not to damage the watch. Finally, start the second hand in the same way as the second hand to ensure that the watch is working normally. When adjusting, pay attention to follow the instructions or customer service instructions, determine the model and brand of the watch to ensure that the adjustment method is accurate, operate carefully to avoid damage to the watch, and stop and start the second hand before and after adjustment.

The different dial and functions of the Longines Moon Phase watch had different uses. For example, some watches have three small dial plates in the big dial plate. Looking from top to bottom, the top small dial plate shows the month, which is controlled and adjusted by the first handle. The second handle had many functions. When it was not pulled out, it could be wound manually clockwise. After pulling out the first gear, it could adjust the day of the week counterclockwise and the calendar clockwise. The small dial at 9 o'clock showed the day of the week and could be adjusted through the first handle. The small dial at 3 o'clock showed the month and could also be adjusted through the handle. The small dial at 6 o'clock showed the calendar within 24 hours. The small window in the middle of the dial at 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock showed the calendar. The calendar could be adjusted through the second handle and the time could be adjusted through the second gear. The dial at 12 o'clock was the scoring dial, and the dial at 9 o'clock was the timer. In addition, the moon phase function usually uses a mobile disc that can rotate once during a lunar month (29 and a half days) to display the moon's cycle. Although it may be more ornamental than functional, it can show the beauty of the moon phase. The position of the moon phase display is different for different watches, such as some at 6 o'clock, some at 3 o'clock, etc. For example, the moon phase of Longines 'traditional series of moon phase watches was displayed at the 6 o'clock position and there was a small needle indicating the date at this position. On the other hand, Constance's own movement series of moon phase watches had a moon phase display at 3 o'clock and a date display at 9 o'clock. The novel New Moon is equally exciting.

There were two ways to adjust the moon phase of Longines: Method 1: 1. Pull out the crown to adjust to the moon phase (different styles may vary). 2. Turn the crown forward until the moon is no longer visible. 3. Then slowly turn the crown forward to match the moon phase with the date (best to adjust the watch on the 1st or 15th, reference: there is no moon on the 1st, the 15th moon is in the front, and the moon is in the back when the full moon is full). 4. He pressed the crown back. Method 2: 1. First, make sure that the watch has been correctly aligned with the time, then press the "Moon Phase" button on the crown and adjust the pointer to the "12 o'clock" position to begin setting the moon phase function. 2. You can also pull out the crown to the second gear and then adjust the pointer to the 6 o'clock position. 3. Then, he gently rotated the crown with his finger until the pattern displayed by the moon phase matched the actual moon phase. 4. Finally, the crown was pushed back to its original position to complete the moon phase adjustment. The novel New Moon is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The Longines Xinyue series had different watch models. If there was no special instruction on how to check the size of the dial, the dial size could usually be determined according to the diameter data given by the watch model. For example, the Longines Xinyue series L8.115.4.92.6 watch had a diameter of 30.5mm. This data could be used as a reference for the size of the dial. Different styles of Longines Xinyue series watches may have different case diameter. When you obtain the relevant parameters of the specific model of the watch, you can accurately know the size of the dial. The novel New Moon is equally exciting.

The usage of the moon phase watch is as follows: ** I. Moon Phase Wheel and Moon Phase Cycle Theory ** 1. The moon phase wheel would move one tooth every day and rotate one full circle every two months. The average time of the month was 29.5 days, so the moon phase wheel had 59 teeth. This meant that the changes in the moon's phase were displayed on the dial according to this rhythm. 2. Due to the difference between the exact rotation period of the moon and the moon phase wheel, the error in the moon phase display would reach 24 hours every 33 months. ** 2. Basic operations of moon phase adjustment ** 1. ** Based on the 15th day of the lunar calendar ** - During the adjustment, the full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar was used as the benchmark, and the moon pattern on the moon phase table was aimed at the middle. For example, if today was the second day of the lunar calendar and the end of the lunar calendar last month was the 29th, the adjustment calculation method was 29 minus 15, plus 2. If the lunar calendar had 30 days, then add 1 more day. This kind of adjustment was usually done by the quick adjustment button on the side of the moon phase watch case, or by rotating the dragon head. 2. ** Quick Dialing Notice ** - In most cases, you can speed dial the moon phase in the second gear, but don't speed dial between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning.(For some watches, such as Blancpain's moon phase watch, you can't use the moon phase fast dial button at 12 o'clock in the afternoon. The workaround is to turn the hour hand back to 8 o'clock or after 4 o'clock, then use the fast dial button to adjust the date or moon phase, and then adjust the time.) Because the gears are in the engaged state, if you force the fast dial, it will cause internal parts to be damaged. 3. ** Illustrate the adjustment steps ** - For example, today was September 8th, and the last full moon was September 4th (you can find it on the Internet). First, adjust the moon phase to the full moon (this time represents September 4th), and then move the four teeth. This is the moon phase on the 8th. Before the operation, the position of the moon had to be adjusted to the center to confirm that it was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. Then, based on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, he calculated it day by day. Normally, as long as a normal moon phase watch was corrected, it would take two years and seven months before the error would accumulate to one day. If there was a difference of one day, then only on the 15th day of the lunar calendar would there be an obvious difference between the moon phase chart on the watch and the moon in the real night sky. The rest of the days would basically be impossible to see. The novel New Moon is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The steps to adjust the moon phase of the Blancpain Moon Phase Watch are as follows: If it was a full calendar moon phase watch and it was a pointer type moon phase, the pointer must first be aimed at the middle of the full moon. The buttons to adjust the moon phase were mostly on the side of the case. Blancpain's full calendar moon phase watch was adjusted on the patent hidden adjustment button behind the ear. Generally, the date, week, and month were adjusted first, and finally the moon phase was adjusted. However, which button corresponded to the moon phase and which button corresponded to the date and month depended on the specific watch model. You needed to refer to the specific watch manual. Take March 14th, 2017 (the 17th day of the lunar calendar) as an example. There are two days between the 15th day and the 15th day. At this time, you have to pay attention to the number of days ahead, and you have to adjust the calendar to the day before today (if today is the 5th day, then adjust it to the 4th day), and then press the adjust moon phase button according to the calculated number of days (in this case, it is 2 days, press twice). If it was a Blancpain 5054 moon phase watch, its B button was responsible for the moon phase function. Generally, it was best to adjust it after the 15th day of the lunar calendar. Pressing it once would move the moon back by one day. Check the full moon date of the previous month (according to the lunar calendar) and calculate the date to today (the date on the watch is the solar calendar). For example, today is July 15th, the last full moon was July 2nd, and today is 13 days. Press the adjustment button on the outside of the case (watches with moon phase function all have an embedded adjustment button, different brands have different positions), press the moon phase to rotate one day until the moon is in the middle of the moon phase plate, and then press this adjustment button 12 times.

The changes of the moon were generally divided into the stages of the new moon, crescent moon, first quarter moon, full moon, moon, waning moon, last quarter moon, waning moon, and so on. In the Moon Phase Change Map, each phase corresponded to a specific moon phase name. During the new moon, the moon moved between the earth and the sun, with its dark side facing the earth and rising and setting with the sun. This stage was at the starting position in the lunar phase change map, and the moon could not be seen. The crescent moon appeared after the new moon. Its shape was curved like an eyebrow, and the protruding part of the moon was facing west in an inverted C shape. It was the transition form of the new moon to the upper and lower quarter moon. The first quarter moon appeared around the seventh day of the lunar calendar. From the northern hemisphere, the right half of the moon was illuminated, forming a semicircle. At this time, the line connecting the sun and the earth was vertical to the line connecting the earth and the moon. It was located in a specific transition position in the moon phase change map. The full moon was between the first crescent moon and the full moon, and the illuminated part of the moon gradually increased. The full moon (Wang) appeared at the 15th and 16th of the lunar calendar. The earth was located between the sun and the moon. The side of the moon facing the earth would be illuminated. The round moon could be seen all night. In the lunar phase change chart, it was the phase where the moon was the most illuminated. Fortunately, after the full moon, the illuminated part of the moon gradually decreased. The last quarter of the moon appeared around the 22nd of the lunar calendar. The left half of the moon was illuminated from the northern hemisphere, almost in the shape of a semicircle. The waning moon appeared at the end of the lunar calendar. The protruding part of the moon faced east, like the letter "C." It was the transition from the last quarter of the moon to the new moon. It was close to the beginning of the next cycle in the lunar phase change map. The novel New Moon is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
