Dear owners of these watches

I found out lately from the A Lange forum here that the new Lange perpetual chrono Dato (maybe a few years old now) has a day forward button at the 10 o'clock pusher which synchronises all indicatiosn on every push.  Do the PP perpetual chrono has the same function?  Do you think it is a useful trick or just a gimmick?  I think it is handy especially for a hand wind watch.  I only have PP perpetual calendar watches which do not have such function.

 

Thanks.

on the 5970 will move the day and date ahead with each push.  It will also adjust the month when you get past month-end.

thanks but does the moonphase move as well?

Essentially, if your 5970 stopped 10 days ago, pushing the button 10 times will set the watch to the current day.  Hope this helps.  I would think that the 3970 has the same feature but I do not own that reference and am just guessing since it has the same pusher at the 58 minute marker.

PP 3970 and PP 5970 have same movement .

, I don't think they have such function (need to adjust one by one), so this is unique in the 3970, 5970 movements?

movements exactly and they do not have the Lange feature. Each function must be separately set. If a watch sets more than one function per button, something is stuck and the watch needs service. The instructions are clear on setting the watch. The watch can always be would forward which will move all settings at midnight, if it stopped for a few days.

 

 

by day, date, and moon phase and eventually the month indicator.

much thanks.  The A Lange function is advance a day by the push of a button at the 10 o'clock position, all synchronised.  For Patek, to advance a day, you can advance the hour and minute hand 24 hours, achieve the same thing but with much more effort.  Some forum memebers are saying there is a button at the 58th minute on the 3970/5970 to do exactly like the Lange does.  Don't know who is right.
