How to use the bi-directional rotating bezel
Some models may have a bi-directional rotating bezel, the rim of the
glass. By utilizing the 24-hour indicators imprinted on the rotating bezel,
the watch can independently display the time in one or two different time
zones in addition to the time indicated by the hour hand.
【Ex.】 To set the 24-hour hand to indicate the time in Paris and Bangkok
which are located in two different time zones, while setting the
hour hand to display 10:08 a.m., Japan time.
※ To use the 24-hour indicators on the rotating bezel to indicate
the hour in Bangkok.
① First, set the "▽" mark on the rotating bezel to the 12 o'clock position.
② Refer to "Time difference adjustment function" on
② Refer to "Time difference adjustment function" on
page
29, and set the
hour and minute hands to 10:08 a.m. and align the 24-hour hand with
"2" on the rotating bezel.
Time in Paris is 8 hours behind Japan except for summer seasons
when daylight saving time is observed.
③ There is a 6-hour time difference between Paris and Bangkok; the time
in Bangkok is 6 hours ahead of the time in Paris (when daylight saving
time is not in effect). Turn the rotating bezel counterclockwise to move
the "▽" mark back 6 hours on the 24-hour indicators. The hour in
Paris is shown by the 24-hour hand pointing to "2" (2:00 a.m.) of the
24-hour indicators on the dial (or the outer frame of the dial), while the
hour in Bangkok is shown by the 24-hour hand pointing to "8" (8:00
a.m.) of the 24 hour indicators on the rotating bezel.
※ For time differences from Japan time, refer to "List of time differences
in major regions of the world" on page 32.
④ Turn the crown to set the hour hand to indicate the time of the place
where you are staying. Make sure that AM/PM and date are correctly set.
※ The calendar is designed to work in conjunction with the movement of the hour
hand, therefore, if AM/PM is incorrectly set, the calendar will be off by 12 hours.
⇒ "List of time zone differences in major regions of the world" page 32.
Selectable display mode
With the time difference adjustment function, the watch features a dual
time display which shows time in two different time zones. It offers two
display modes which you can select to suit your needs and preference.
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.
⇒ "How to use the screw-lock type crown" page 16.
※ If you set the time when the time the watch indicates is between 9:00 p.m. and
1:00 a.m., set the hour hand back to 8:00 p.m. temporarily, and then set the time.
※ The crown can be turned in either direction to adjust the time, however, it is
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.

24-hour hand: Area B (New York)
【Ex. 2】

Set the 24-hour hand first, and then set the hour hand.
