by turning anti-clockwise. After use screw in firmly to en-
sure that the seal with the case remains water-resistant.
Press push-piece

zone by successive steps of 1 hour, which will not af-
fect the minute and seconds hands.
Example:

You know that there is an 8-hour difference between
Switzerland and Japan.
Option a:
you leave your watch on Geneva time and date.
You press push-piece

to adjust the time in the second
time zone so that the 24-hour hand is on 16 (4 p.m.
Japanese time).
Option b:
you travel to Japan and want your watch to
show Japanese time and date. You adjust the time by
turning the crown (in position
2
) clockwise so that the
24-hour hand is on the 4 (4 p.m. Japanese time). Then
push the crown back in. The time shown in the second
time zone will stay at 8 a.m. (Geneva time: home).
Synchronising the time in the second time zone /
the 24-hour hand
To synchronise the time in the second time zone with the
actual time where you are, use push-piece
C
. If the watch
stops you will immediately see from the time in the sec-
ond time zone whether your watch is showing morning
(a.m.) or afternoon (p.m.).
Please note that if you use the
Quick time adjustment func-
tion
(crown in position
2
), the synchronisation will be in-
terrupted.
Screw in push-piece
C
firmly to ensure that the seal with
the case remains water-resistant.
