Setting the time – home time
Recommended method:
The reference time for your watch is the time at
home. To set the time, first unlock the correction
pushers “+” and “
–
” (1/4 turn counterclockwise)
and actuate one of the two pushers as many times
as needed to superpose the skeletonized and
solid hour hands and to display the same color
in the day/night indicator aperture (HOME) and
(LOCAL).
Now, pull the crown gently all the way out to
position 3 and move the hands in either direction.
The day/night indicator in the aperture (HOME)
lets you check whether you have set the correct
time (white = from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.; blue = from
6 p.m. to 6 a.m.).
Once you have set the correct time, push the
crown home again and lock the corrections
pushers (1/4 turn clockwise).
Second time zone
Your watch has two central hour hands:
- The solid hand displays local time (the time
zone in which you are currently located)
- The skeletonized hand displays home time (your
normal place of residence or work)
When you are at home and therefore local time
and home time are the same, the hands are
perfectly aligned to appear as one.
When you change time zone, you can move the
local hour hand forward or backward one hour at
a time using the pushers on the side of the case
at 8 o’clock and 10 o’clock. During this time, the
skeletonized hand continues to indicate the time
in your home time zone. This useful feature is
intelligently combined with day/night indicators,
clearly distinguished by the words LOCAL and
HOME. These small apertures tell you what part
of the day it is in each of the two displayed time
zones.
CAUTION: The pushers used to set the local time
and to turn the alarm on and off feature a patented
safety lock that prevents inadvertent changes to
the local time and to the alarm setting. Before
they can be actuated, they must be unlocked
with a quarter turn in the counterclockwise
direction. After setting the local time or once the
alarm has been activated or deactivated, lock the
pushers again with a quarter turn in the clockwise
direction.
