SWAP
FUNCTION
The
SWAP
function allows the two timezones TIME and TIME 2 to be inversed on the
digital display and hands, taking a possible date change into consideration. This
“exchange” is done by simply pressing P1 when in
TIME 2
mode.
This is a very useful, practical function, especially for travelers going from one
timezone to another, as it means one always has easy access to the local time as
indicated by the hands.
c) An example using the
SWAP
function
The
TIME
zone is set to Paris time (
UTC+1
), while the
TIME 2
zone is set to New York
time (
UTC-5
). A traveler who left Paris arrives in New York wishing to have the local
time shown by the hands. All he has to do, in
TIME 2
mode, is press on P1 and the
hands will immediately show New York time (
UTC-5
), while
TIME 2
displays Paris
time (
UTC+1
on the digital display only).
This exchange automatically modifies the date, if necessary, assuming that the two
TIME
and
TIME 2
zones were correctly set in terms of the difference with the UTC
zone. When the time comes to return to Paris, pressing P1 again (in
TIME 2
mode)
puts the two zones back to their original state (with the automatic date change
if necessary).
