Setting when crossing time zones:
– When crossing time zones in an easterly direction, you should simply set the time
forwards to the new local time.
– When crossing time zones in a westerly direction, you can set the hands of your
watch back to the actual time of day. When doing this, however, you must not move
back into the calendar’s automatic switching phase, i.e. beyond 2 a.m. If this situation
occurs when you are travelling west, you should set the local time of your destination
before 8 p.m.
You must not turn the hands back between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.
