World Time operation
Your watch has an ingenious World Time display system,
enabling it to indicate the time in 24 cities of the world
simultaneously.
Instant reading of the time in the 24 time zones of the world
is thus possible thanks to the city disc and the 24-hour
rotating ring. This reading requires pre-setting, which involves
adjusting the local time by positioning the corresponding city
at 6 o’clock (the reference time for the mechanism).

How to proceed :
- Set the hour and minutes on your watch according to the
instructions above (local time).
- Crown B (in position 1, not pulled out) shifts the city disc :
turn the crown in one direction or the other and bring the
city corresponding to your local time opposite the numeral
“6” on the dial (i.e. at 6 o’clock).
- The 24-hour ring then indicates the same time as your local
time opposite the numeral “6” and hence opposite the
reference city that you have placed in this same position.
Once this pre-setting has been performed :
- The 24-city disc no longer moves.
- The 24-hour ring turns with the local time ring, but does
one turn of the dial in 24 hours. It updates the time for
each of the cities at the same time as the local time.
- You can thus at any moment read the time in any city
indicated by associating the time opposite the city
consulted on the 24-hour ring with the minutes on your
central hand.
- When travelling into another time zone, repeat the
operation to display at 6 o’clock the city corresponding to
the new time zone.
Nota bene : the few regions in which the official time differs
by a fraction of an hour (India, Iran, Nepal) do not appear
on the city disc.
Case shock-absorber system
Your watch has a novel case system which allows it to
absorb the shocks sustained, and thereby protects the watch
movement. The case is built in two parts :
- The central part, in titanium, is a water-resistant case which
protects the movement.
- The external part consists of the lower base and the bezel.
The case containing the movement is housed in the support
and can move vertically. In case of a shock, an airbag system
dampens the force by 50%.
Interchangeable strap system
The base of your watch case is fitted with an integrated
interchangeability system allowing the strap to be changed
easily. It consists of a pushbutton which shifts part of the space
between the lugs to release the strap’s spring bar from its
housing in the lugs.
Removing the strap sections from the case
- Hold the back of the watch case between the thumb and
forefinger of one hand (A).
- Hold the strap section between the thumb and forefinger
of your other hand (B).
Closed position
Position when the
strap is released
If setting is performed at 5 o'clock, you
observe that the 24-hour ring indicates
"5" opposite the city at 6 o'clock.
Two hours later, at 7 o'clock, you observe
that the 24-hour ring has also moved
forward, to indicate "7" opposite the city
at 6 o'clock. The time in all time zones can
be read instantly.
