How to use the GMT hand
You’ve just landed in Los Angeles from London, with the local time being 6pm (18.00 hours).
Upon your arrival, unscrew the winding crown from the case and pull it out to the third click
(position
3
) and move the hour/minute hands back by 8 hours (the time difference between
the two cities), diagram
A
.
After this, push the winding crown to the second click (position
2
) and adjust the GMT hand
to 2am (02.00 hours), diagram
B
. Your home timezone is now set. Don’t forget to push the
crown back to position
0
and screw it back in for water resistance.
Adjusting the internal bezel
To adjust the internal bezel, turn crown B clockwise or anticlockwise as necessary. This can
then be used to display a third timezone.
Following the GMT hand instructions above, with the GMT hand set against the inner
24-hour ring on the dial (your second timezone), diagram
C
.
You have both the time in Los Angeles (6pm) and London (2am), but need to know the
time in Sydney to phone a colleague. Using the crown, align the 6pm on the 24-hour bezel
(18.00 hours) with 6pm on the main section of the dial, diagram
D
.
As Sydney is 17 hours ahead of Los Angeles, you can count 17 hours ahead to see the time
is in fact 11am (11.00 hours) on Australia’s eastern coast. We’d say that was safe to call.
