Scrolling
The D and B buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll
operation scrolls at high speed.

Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time, the data you were viewing when you last exited the
mode appears first.

• The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the

Timekeeping Mode.

• All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time in the

Timekeeping Mode using UTC time differential values.

• The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a

reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.

• The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the

world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained
atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap
seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s
rotation.

Accuracy at normal temperature: 

±30 seconds a month

Digital Timekeeping: Hour, minutes, seconds, p.m. (P), day, day of the week

Time format: 12-hour and 24-hour
Calendar system: Full Auto-calendar pre-programmed from the year 2000 to 2099
Other: 2 screen formats (Day of the Week – Day, Hour : Minutes); Home City code

(can be assigned one of 48 city codes); Daylight Saving Time (summer
time)/Standard Time

Analog Timekeeping: Hour, minutes (hand moves every 20 seconds)
World Time: 48 cities (29 time zones)

Other: Daylight Saving Time/Standard Time

Measuring unit: 1/100 of a second
Measuring capacity: 59' 59.99''
Measuring mode: Elapsed time

Alarm: Daily alarm; Hourly Time Signal
Illumination: 2 LEDs (light-emitting diodes)
Other: Button operation tone on/off

Battery: Two silver oxide batteries (Type: SR726W)

Approximately 2 years on type SR726W (assuming alarm operation 10 seconds per
day, and one illumination operation 1.5 seconds per day)

Frequent use of illumination shortens the battery life.

• Based on data as of June 2008.

• The rules governing global times (GMT differential and UTC offset) and summer

time are determined by each individual country.

* In December 2007, Venezuela changed its offset from –4 to –4.5. Note, however,

that this watch displays an offset of –4 (the old offset) for the CCS (Caracas,
Venezuela) city code.
