How to Calibrate a Hygrometer?

Question. Maybe I'm missing something but it takes at least 24 hrs to get the hygrometer up to 75% Rh in a very small sealed environment. So can't we expect the hygrometer to take just as long to read the Rh in your humidor? The reason I am asking is my humidor is 69% Rh with more than enough (65%) beads in it. I just calibrated my hygrometer 2 days ago and was wondering if the hygrometer needs a few days to drop to the range of the humidor.
