Abstract

The present invention provides a watch with a lunar phase display mechanism that can improve the displayability of lunar phase information and the ease of operation when making corrections. [Solution] The moon phase display watch 1 comprises a dial for displaying the time, a moon phase display mechanism 3, and a correction mechanism 5. The moon phase display mechanism 3 has a moon wheel 24 that displays the position of the moon in synchronization with the time, and a moon shadow wheel 25 that displays the moon phase based on the phase difference with the moon wheel 24. The correction mechanism 5 corrects the moon phase information, which is the display information in the moon phase display mechanism 3. The correction mechanism 5 has a first correction mechanism and a second correction mechanism 52. The first correction mechanism corrects the moon phase information in synchronization with the time when the crown is operated. The second correction mechanism 52 has a different input path from the first correction mechanism and corrects the moon phase information without synchronization with the time and more quickly than the first correction mechanism.
