When the two hour hands are separate, the
skeletonized hand continues to display the time
in your home time zone, and the day/night
aperture (HOME) indicates whether it is day or
night in your home time zone.
As soon as you have returned to your home time
zone (normal place of residence or work), simply
press the correction pusher “+” or “
–
” as many
times as needed to superpose the two hour hands
and again. Make sure the two day/night indicators
(HOME) and (LOCAL) have the same color. Lock
the pushers again with a quarter turn in the
clockwise direction.
Date correction
The date indicated by your watch refers to the
local time zone. To set the date, actuate the
correction push piece between 6 and 7 o’clock as
many times as needed to display the current date.
Correction push pieces should be actuated
exclusively with the correction stylus that was
delivered with the watch. The use of any other
tool could damage your timepiece.
CAUTION: The date cannot be adjusted between
10 p.m. and 2 a.m. If you activate the date change
mechanism during this time, an insulator will
prevent the date from being changed to avoid any
damage to the movement.
Display of a second time zone
- local time
Before you set a second time zone, check the
day/night indicator (HOME) to make sure that the
two superposed hour hands indicate the correct
time at home and that the day/night indicator
correctly displays daytime or nighttime hours, for
instance 8 a.m. or 8 p.m.
To set the local hour hand to display a second
time zone, follow these steps:
- If you are traveling eastbound, press the
correction pusher “+” at 8 o’clock to move the
solid hand clockwise by as many hours as the
two time zones are apart
(press once = +1 hour);
- If you are traveling westbound, press the
correction pusher “
–
” at 10 o’clock to move the
solid hand clockwise by as many hours as the
two time zones are apart
(press once =
–
1 hour);
- If you move the hour hand for local time
beyond midnight in either direction, the date
will also switch forward or backward;
- If you continue your journey and pass through
further time zones, simply repeat the procedure
described above with the pushers “+” or “
–
”.
