Manual Winding
- To get the watch started, you will need to manually wind the watch first.
- Unscrew the crown counter clockwise until the crown pops out.
- In the Normal Position, turn the crown clockwise for a minimum of 25 turns for a partial wind prior to setting the time.
Setting The Reference Time
- The reference time is your home time in your respective timezone.
- Pull the crown out to position 2. The second hand will stop. Set the 24-Hour hand to the proper reference time. Make sure the bezel is in the neutral position with the 24 at the 12:00 position.
- The hour hand will also move, but this can be ignored for now as we will set it later.
When finished with adjusting time, always be sure to push the crown back in and screw it back in place to ensure water resistance. To make sure of this, push the crown back to the 0 or normal position, apply a little pressure on the crown and rotate clockwise to seal it closed.
Setting The Date
-
Pull the crown out to position 1. It is a very subtle click so be careful to ensure you are not pulling it to position 2.
-
Turn the crown in either direction to jump the hour hand forwards or backwards.
As the hour hand crosses midnight in either direction the date will change. The date changes after the hour hand rotates twice around the dial indiciating 24 hrs. -
After the date has been set, it’s time to set the local hour hand.
Setting The Local Hour Hand
- Pull the crown out to position 1. It is a very subtle click so be careful to ensure you are not pulling it to position 2.
- Set the hour hand to whichever timezone you are actively in. The hour hand jumps in 1 hour increments so be sure you are paying attention to am/pm.
When finished with adjusting time, always be sure to push the crown back in and screw it back in place to ensure water resistance. To make sure of this, push the crown back to the 0 or normal position, apply a little pressure on the crown and rotate clockwise to seal it closed.
Adjusting The Local Hour (When Traveling)
-
When you travel and land in another timezone you will need to adjust the local time.
Pull the crown out to position 1. It is a very subtle click so be careful to ensure you are not pulling it to position 2. -
Set the hour hand to whichever timezone you are actively in. The hour hand jumps in 1 hour increments so be sure you are paying attention to am/pm. In this example the local time needs to be adjusted to San Francisco time, which is 2 hours behind Dallas time. As you adjust the hour hand, the 24-Hr hand will remain in place as it continues to keep track of your home time.
When finished with adjusting time, always be sure to push the crown back in and screw it back in place to ensure water resistance. To make sure of this, push the crown back to the 0 or normal position, apply a little pressure on the crown and rotate clockwise to seal it closed.
Tracking a 3rd Timezone
- You can also keep track of a 3rd timezone utilizing the rotating bezel.
- If you know the time difference between your Home Time and the 3rd timezone you’d like to track, simply turn the bezel so the 24-hr hand is pointing at the appropriate hour indicated on the bezel. In this example, the time in London is +6 hours from Dallas time. To refer back to your Home Time, simply rotate the bezel to the neutral position with the 24 at the 12:00 position.
