Setting Lever

A setting lever is part of the keyless works and helps control crown positions for winding, time-setting, and sometimes date-setting. It works with the stem, yoke, and sliding pinion to switch between functions. Setting levers are replaced when worn, bent, broken, or causing issues with crown operation or hand-setting.
