How to use the 24-hour hand
This watch has two different types of 24-hour hand usage.
<Type 1> 24-hour hand as an a.m./
p.m. indicator
Simply using the 24-hour hand to
show the 24-hour time as an a.m./
p.m. indicator. (This is the standard
usage type for the 24-hour hand.)
Both the hour hand and the 24-
hour hand are indicating the
Japan time 10:00 a.m.
Time difference adjustment function
For example, while traveling abroad and staying in a place with a different time
from where you live, you can conveniently set the watch to indicate the local
time in the different time zone area without stopping the watch.
The hour hand indicates the time of the place where you currently are, while
the 24-hour hand indicates the time of the place of origin.
The calendar works in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand. If the
time difference is correctly adjusted, the watch displays the correct date of the
place where you are staying.
How to use the time difference adjustment function
① Make sure that the mainspring is sufficiently wound and the watch is
working.
※ When setting the hour hand to use the time difference
adjustment function, ensure that the watch is working.
② Unlock the crown.
⇒ Refer to "How to use the screw lock type crown" on
page 12.
③ Pull out the crown to the first click.

<Type 2> 24-hour hand as a dual time indicator
Using the time difference adjustment
function, set the 24-hour hand to
indicate a time different from the time
that the hour and minute hand indicate,
which is of a place in a different time
zone area with at least one hour of time
difference from where you are.
Hour hand: Japan time 10:00 a.m.
24-hour hand: New York time 8:00 p.m.
Pull out the
crown to the
first click.
④ Turn the crown to set the hour hand to indicate the time of the place where
you are staying. Make sure that a.m./p.m. and date are correctly set.
※ The calendar is designed to work in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand,
therefore, incorrect setting of a.m./p.m. will cause the date to change at noon.
⇒ Refer to "List of time zone differences in major regions of the world" on page 22.
Turning the crown

recommended to turn the crown in the direction which enables you to set the date
with a smaller adjustment.
※ Turn the crown slowly, checking that the hour hand moves in one-hour increments.
※ While turning the crown, the moment the date changes is midnight.
※ When adjusting the hour hand, the other hands may move slightly. However, this is
not a malfunction.
⑤ Upon completion of setting, make sure that the time indicated is correct,
and then push the crown back in. The setting procedure is now completed.
Relock the crown.
⇒ Refer to "How to use the screw lock type crown" on page 12.

the hour hand back to 8:00 p.m., and then set the time.
