Setting the time
Unscrew the winding crown anticlockwise from the case and pull it out to the third click
(position
3
). Turn the crown anticlockwise to move the hour/ minute hands until they indicate
the desired time.
Setting the GMT hand
A pusher located at 4.30 on the case (position
C
) is used to operate the GMT hand.
To set the GMT hand (positioned at 6 o’clock on the dial), each push will cause it to jump
in one-hour increments. Move the GMT hand forward to your desired time within the
24-hour subdial.
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
C
. You now have your local time. Once completed, screw your crown
back into the case to maintain water resistance.
Next, using the pusher at position
C
, adjust the GMT hand to 2am (02.00 hours),
diagram
D
. Your home timezone is now set.
Adjusting the internal bezel
To adjust the internal bezel, turn crown at 2 o’clock clockwise or anticlockwise as necessary,
diagram
E
. This can then be used for monitoring the remaining time of a football match
(soccer to some…) and many other sporting occasions.
Imagine the match kicks off at 12.30. Using the crown, align the inverted white triangle at
12 o’clock on the internal bezel with 30 minutes past the hour on the dial, i.e. at the 6 o’clock
position, diagram
F
. You can then see the number of minutes that have passed in the match
by reading the minute hand against the internal bezel.
After half time, you would need to repeat this process. When the referee blows the whistle,
align the internal bezel to the current minute. You’re good to go.
