CHANGING TIME ZONE
Pull the crown out to position 2 and turn the city disc forwards or
backwards in order to position the city corresponding to the new
time zone opposite the 12 o'clock marker on the dial, by the shortest
possible rotation. If this correction is performed backwards and
passing midnight, bring the 24h disc to 5 pm before positioning
the city opposite the 12 o'clock marker on the dial.
Simultaneously, the 24h disc and hour hand will turn to ensure that the time display of the
new time zone is correct. The seconds and minute hands will continue running normally,
and if a timing operation is in progress, it will not be disrupted.
In the example opposite, the time zone is now set to New York: it still
shows 2.15 am in Paris and 8.15 pm in New York, but on the 18th of
the month, since we are back on the previous day.
During a trip crossing the date line – for example leaving Anchorage
(GMT-9) and fl ying to Tokyo (GMT+9) – the disc must be turned past
London (GMT), so as not to modify the date.

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
BIDIRECTIONAL BEZEL
The bezel of your watch is marked with a reference to
mark the time of departure or a limit time one wishes
to remember. On models with no chronograph functions,
it also serves as "minute chronograph" enabling one to
measure time elapsed in minutes.
