Avoid changing the date on a watch with a date complication between roughly 9pm and 3am — the change mechanism may be engaged and can be damaged.

Calculated dates (UTC). To set the disc without trusting the figure below, wait for one of these and set the display to match.
Advance the moon-phase complication forward ≈ 0 days
Advance the moon-phase complication forward ≈ 22 days
Advance the moon-phase complication forward ≈ 15 days
Advance the moon-phase complication forward ≈ 8 days
Follow your watch's manual. Advance the moon phase forward only — never turn it backwards unless the manual says you may — and stay outside the date danger-zone hours above.
Second time zone
Set the 24-hour (GMT) hand on a dual-time watch. Pick your home zone and the zone the GMT hand should track.
Set the 24-hour / GMT hand to the second zone and the main hands to home — or follow your watch's manual, since true-GMT and caller-GMT calibers differ.
Zones offset by 30 or 45 minutes aren't listed — a GMT hand can't display them.
Worldtimer: line up your reference city on the city ring with the home zone's 24-hour time. A fixed city ring can't follow daylight saving, so a city that observes it reads an hour off for part of the year.
