Many people ask us how to set the red GMT hand to track a second time zone. The process might seem a little confusing at first, but once you grasp the basic concept, it will be rather simple.
To begin, unwind the crown and pull it out to 1st position. 1st position is where if you turn the crown in one direction you change the date and if you turn it in the other direction you move the red GMT hand. To set the GMT hand to track the second time zone, please note that the red GMT hand follows the 24-hour markings located on the bezel ring. ---------------- To set the scene for this example, assume you live on the East Coast and it is now 5-pm. However you want to track the time on the West Coast as well, and local time there is 2-pm. 2-pm in 24-hour markings (since it's Military time) is 1400 hours. So set the red GMT hand to point to the 1400 marking on the bezel. This will now accurately track the time on the West Coast while the normal hour hand tracks East Coast time. Here's another example, you want to track the time in London which is +5 hours from the East Coast. So at 5-pm EST, it is 10-pm in London. Per Military time, 10-pm is 2200 hours, so align the red GMT hour hand up with 2200 on the bezel and you're tracking London time. To find a list of time zones around the world, search Google for "World Times". Enjoy your watch. |
