Your watch features a dual-time dial with 24-hour GMT hand that
allows you to monitor the time in a second time zone anywhere in
the world
Reading the Watch:
In this illustration: The current time in the first time zone is
10:10’32” (10:10 PM) as indicated by the Hour and Minute hands
on the outer 12-hour ring The current time in the second time
zone is 11:10’32” (11:10 AM) as indicated by the GMT hand on the
inner 24-hour ring
NOTES: The Minute and Seconds hands are the same for both
time zones
The Date is synchronized with the time in the first time zone
