![]() ![]() With an annual calendar watch, you will be required to reset it once per year, every year, no matter what. Now, this is somewhat unrealistic with a mechanical movement, since variations in timekeeping will require adjustments to be made from time to time and if nothing else, regularly-scheduled maintenance will require the watch to come to a stop at some point or another however, the concept of full-autonomy is there. In theory, with a perpetual calendar, you will (almost) not need to ever reset the watch as long as it stays running. ![]() Both mechanisms account for the different number of days in the months however, only a perpetual calendar keeps track of leap years. While their names may be similar, an annual calendar complication is not the same thing as a perpetual calendar. Instead of discussing the watch itself, we are going to focus on the innovative Caliber 9001, its annual calendar complication, and what you need to do to get your Rolex Sky-Dweller displaying the correct information for the next twelve months. We have covered the Rolex Sky-Dweller extensively in previous articles, so if you are unfamiliar with the watch, read one of our other posts on it for more information regarding its design, its display layout, and how its fluted, ‘Ring Command’ bezel is not just for decorative purposes, but rather it is linked to the in-house Caliber 9001 movement within and is integral to the functionality of the watch.

The only slight downside is the absence of things to do when you get stuck - the other characters won't talk to you unless it's plot-related, and will sometimes ignore you until you solve a particular puzzle. You have a great sidekick in the form of Joey, a great comic foil in the form of Lamb, and there's enough shifts and reveals in the story to keep you interested until the end. The Orwell-meets-Douglas-Adams storyline is dripping with black humour, and is a nice change from the self-referential gags of US graphic adventures. The graphics are among the best on the Amiga (and makes you wonder what Space Quest 4 would have been like in the hands of more capable converters). And a good conversion of a PC game, with graphics and gameplay both surviving intact. Not quite Monkey Island brilliant, but still a classic. ![]()
