FUNCTION
The GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) system, also known as universal time and
adopted throughout the world, divides the terrestrial globe into 24 one-hour
sections (time zones), each equivalent to 15° of longitude. The Greenwich
meridian was taken as the fundamental reference meridian for the localization
of time zones by the international conferences held in Rome in 1883 and in
Washington in 1884.
Starting from meridian zero (or Greenwich meridian), 24 time zones have been
defined, from 0 to +12 towards the east, and from 0 to -12 towards the west.
The zero meridian has a very important function for sailors: the time at
Greenwich is the reference for the calculations which enable the longitude at
sea to be determined, and thus the ship’s exact position to be established.
The GMT function enables local time and the time in another country (home
time) to be read simultaneously.

2. Set the local time required. The local time hour hand (B) will indicate the
local time, that is, the time in the place where it is located at that moment.
