7. Time Difference Correction Procedure
L This function lets you set a time difference in 1 hour units for the local time when
traveling to a region or country in a different time zone by operating the second hand.
Step 1): When the upper right button (B) is pressed
once, the second hand stops at the 12:00
position, and the second hand 12:00
position indicates a time difference of ±0
hours.
* The second hand stops at the position
corresponding to the time difference when a time
difference has been set.
Step 2): The time difference can be advanced by 1
hour with one step of the second hand by
turning the crown to the right without pulling
it out. The time difference can be turned
back by 1 hour with one step of the second
hand by turning the crown to the left.
Step 3): After setting the time difference, the second
hand returns to 1-second interval movement
after indicating rapidly the time difference
set time when the upper right button (B) is
pressed once or when none of the buttons
have been pressed for 60 seconds.
Step 5): Check what year the current year is after the most recent leap year and
turn the crown to the right to align the second hand at the position
corresponding to the month and no. of elapsed years. Turning the
crown to the left (by 1 click) causes the second hand to move in
reverse.
Step 6): Return the crown to the normal position.
L
Each time the crown is pulled out to Position 1 and the lower right button (A) is
pressed once, the second hand moves to the date and day to be corrected to indicate
that the watch has entered the correction mode.
