Digital Time and Date
Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view a digital display of the current time and
date.
When setting the digital time, you can also confi gure settings for summer time
(Daylight Saving Time or DST), your Home City code (the code for the city where you
normally use the watch), the 12/24-hour format, and the illumination duration.
This watch is preset with a number of city codes, each of which represents the time x
zone where that city is located. When setting the digital time, it is important that you
select the correct city code for your Home City. If your location is not included in the
preset city codes, select the preset city code that is in the same time zone as your
location.
Note that all of the times for the World Time Mode city codes (page E-19) are x
displayed in accordance with the digital time and date settings you confi gure in the
Timekeeping Mode.
After you correctly set your Home City time and date, you can set the watch up for x
timekeeping with a different city code simply by changing the Home City code in the
Timekeeping Mode.

Note
The hands for the analog timepiece move to adjust to a new setting whenever any x
of the following occurs.
When you change the digital time setting manually
When you change the Home City code and/or DST setting
If the analog time does not match the digital time for any reason, use the procedure x
described under “To adjust home positions” (page E-17) to match the analog setting
to the digital setting.
Whenever you need to adjust both the digital and the analog time settings manually, x
make sure you adjust the digital setting fi rst.
Depending on how much the hands have to move in order to adjust to the digital x
time, it may take some time before they stop moving.

The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the x
world-wide scientifi c 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.

E-35
The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099. x
The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month x
lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it except after you have the watch’s batteries replaced.
The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode is calculated in x
accordance with the UTC time offset of each city, based on your Home City time
setting.
World Time
The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the x
Timekeeping Mode.
All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time in the x
Timekeeping Mode using UTC time offset values.
The UTC offset is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference x
point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.
