USING THE WORld TIME

With World Time, you can select a city by rotating the bezel so the city is located at 12 o’clock. This will cause the hands of the clock to move to the current time in that city. Rotate the bezel counterclockwise.

Using Summer Time

If summer time (DST) is in effect in the city you select, rotate the bezel so the city is located at SUMMER instead of 12 o’clock. *DST=Daylight Saving Time

Rotate the Bezel (6) counterclockwise so select the city you want. If you rotate the Bezel (6) clockwise and the Hour hand (1) passes over the Alarm hand (5), the alarm hand will start to move along with the hour hand.

After you view the time in a city, you can rotate the Bezel (6) back to your home city, if you want. If you leave the bezel set to a city that does not match your home city, the alarm will sound at the alarm time in the currently selected city.
