DISPLAYING AN ALTERNATIVE TIME ZONE

An alternative time zone can be displayed by using the rotatable flange and the 24-hour hand 
(which usually displays the reference time). To display the alternative time zone, place the flange in 
the neutral position (moon at 12 o’clock). Then calculate the number of hours’ difference between 
the reference time and the time in the desired time zone. If that time zone is ahead, turn the flange 
counterclockwise the same number of hours. If the desired time zone is behind, turn the flange 
clockwise the same number of hours. The 24-hour hand read against the flange indicates the 
time in the alternative time zone. The minutes are shown on the dial by the centre minute hand.

Example:

To show Tokyo time (+9 hr compared to London reference time), turn the flange counterclockwise 
until the ‘9’ number is at 12 o’clock (aligned). To return to the reference time display, turn the flange 
in either direction to place the moon on the bezel at 12 o’clock marker on the dial (neutral position).
