Analog Display

Dial and hands indicate local time.
Local time is indicated in the dial's digital display. (Not on the watch above).

The Various Functions of The Digital Display

As well as local time, you may select six additional functions whilst the crown is in position A (see diagram above). The selected function is indicated by a flashing line at the base of the digital display. The marker line which appears in the digital display without flashing, indicates the function currently in use.

All Functions Are Crown Selected.
Pushing or pulling the crown selects one of three positions (see diagram above).

Neutral Position (position A)

In this position, the various functions are selected by turning the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Crown Pulled Out (Position B)

This position permits corrections or settings to be made by turning the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Crown in Depressed Position (Position A1)

In this position, the alarm is turned on or off, the chronograph is operated, the 12 or 24 hour time indication is selected or the alarm tested.
