Time difference adjustment function
For example, while traveling abroad and staying in a place with a different time from where you
live, you can conveniently set the watch to indicate the local time in the different time zone area
without stopping the watch.
The hour hand indicates the time of the place where you currently are, while the 24-hour hand
indicates the time of the place of origin.
The date works in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand. If the time difference is
correctly adjusted, the watch displays the correct date of the place where you are staying.
How to use the time difference adjustment function

Turn the crown to set the hour hand to indicate the time of the place where you are staying.
Make sure that a.m./p.m. and date are correctly set.
* The date is designed to work in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand, therefore,
incorrect setting of a.m./p.m. will cause the date to change at noon.

Instantly changing date
This watch is able to change the date indication instantly between 0:00 a.m. and 0:05 a.m.
In case of conventional quartz watches, the date indication changes gradually between 9:00
p.m. and 0:00 a.m.
