Sometimes watch movements need to be reset after a battery change. This is not always the case, so if your watch is working OK you do not need to reset. If the watch is not operating properly then you will need to short-circuit two points inside the watch to reset it - this is usually done with something like a pair of fine point tweezers. With the back of the watch removed, look for contacts on the circuit board - usually marked as '+' and '-'. Use the points of the tweezers to briefly make a connection between the contacts. That should do it, but sometimes it needs to be repeated.
If you have no success with this, it might be easier to take it to anywhere that does battery replacements and let them sort it out.
There is no CR920 3 volt battery and especially will not work for any Lorus watch. There is the SR920SW and SR920W series 1.55 volt silver alkaline cell.. 9 mm diameter x 2.0 mm height is an impossible size for this old Lorus watch.
You are probably going to have to look for an identical watch for parts.You might try this site: http://www.esslinger.com/watchparts.aspx?gclid=COCr3t2F9KUCFcIKKgodgiARnA which is parts for watches. I'd have a look on ebay as well for a watch that is not working. Of course it does depend on the part you are looking for. I am also wondering if the inner parts for another Lorus mickey moue watch might fit, but maybe you don;t wish to change it out from the original.
You may need to have a local jeweler who has a watch press to put it back on, If you put to much pressure on the inside of the back, it may be warped. A knowledgeable jeweler should be able to fix that issue also.
Thank you for contacting FixYa..

Instructions are on the inside of the back cover:
1. short circuit AC and the battery clamp.
2. the hands will rotate once clockwise
3. in the chime mode, pull out the crown and set the hands to the 12:00 position
4. Return the crown to normal position, change to time mode and set the desired time
mcdevito75 here, I would imagine this is a Mickey Mouse Lorus watch by the picture supplied. If it Has DAY / DATE function, here"s what to do, --- To set the DAY, pull the stem out to set, keep turning the hads till you rech the day, then push in the stem. To Change the DATE 9 number) slip your fingernail just under the stem and lift it to it"s first position (notch) this should allow you to change the DATE (number) without haveing to turn the hands so many times.
