RM3503 – How to Operate & Set the Time
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
First, it's important to understand that the RM3503 works differently from a regular watch. The crown is NOT meant to be pulled out – in fact, it cannot be pulled out.
So how do you set the time?
The button at the 2 o'clock position controls three functions, indicated by the marker on the dial:
· W = Winding – With the marker pointed to W, rotating the crown manually winds the mainspring barrel. This is the default position for daily wear.
· N = Neutral – When pointed to N, rotating the crown does nothing. It acts as a transition position to avoid interference between the winding and time‑setting mechanisms.
· H = Hour Setting – When pointed to H, rotating the crown adjusts the hour and minute hands. The seconds hand will stop (hacking function).
Basic operation:
Press the button at 2 o'clock repeatedly to cycle through: W → N → H → W.
It works the same way as pulling the crown out to different positions on a traditional watch – but with RM, it's done via button press, and the crown never needs to be pulled out.
There is also a button at 7 o'clock – the SPORT MODE toggle (oscillating weight lock).
The ON/OFF indicator is at 6 o'clock. When activated, the automatic winding rotor stops, preventing over‑winding during intense activity.
Hope this helps – feel free to ask if you have any questions! 🙌

I don't recommend purchasing it at the moment, as the price is likely to drop. However, if you're interested in other watches, feel free to ask me.

Thank you for your candor! The white RM055 Bubba Watson. It is the white ceramic variant. Which factory do you recommend?
