HOW TO START YOUR WATCH

To start your watch, remove the plastic guard from under the crown (if applies), set the Time and Date (if applies), then press the crown in against the case (position A). Slowly turn the crown clock-wise until you feel resistance.
You should hear the watch “ticking” and the second hand will begin to move.
As you wear the watch the movement of your wrist will wind the movement automatically. If the watch is worn daily the movement will retain enough energy to prevent the watch from stopping. If the watch stops due to non-wear, follow the instructions to set the Time and Date (if applies), and wind to start the watch again.

TRUE GMT

GMT watches in which the hour hand is independently adjustable are often referred to as a true GMT. Please follow the instructions below to determine if your watch falls into this movement type.

SETTING THE TIME, DATE AND GMT HAND

NOTE: BEFORE SETTING THIS WATCH, DETERMINE IF YOUR WATCH IS EQUIPPED WITH A SCREW-DOWN CROWN. GENTLY ATTEMPT TO PULL THE CROWN OUT FROM THE CASE. IF THERE IS RESISTANCE,IT IS LIKELY YOUR WATCH DOES HAVE A SCREW-DOWN CROWN.

TO UNLOCK SCREW-DOWN CROWN, GENTLY TURN CROWN UNTIL IT RELEASES FROM CASE. AFTER WATCH IS SET, TO LOCK THE CROWN GENTLY PUSH AND TURN THE CROWN UNTIL IT IS FIRMLY LOCKED AGAINST THE CASE.
The prescribed method to set this type of watch is to use crown position C to set the GMT hand and the minutes within the hour to your “home” time zone.
Then use the crown position B to adjust the hour hand and the date to your 2nd or “current” time zone. You will also be able to quickly adjust the hour hand to any new destinations, if your travel takes you thru multiple time zones, using the crown in position B to adjust the hour hand independently.

1. Crown position A (completely pushed in or the “unlocked” screw-down crown) will allow you to manually wind the watch movement if you wish to do so.

2. Crown position B is used to adjust the hour hand, independent of the other hands and is also used to adjust the date.

   • A Turning the crown clockwise will adjust the hour hand and the date backwards.
   • B Turning the crown counter-clockwise will adjust the hour hand and the date forwards.

3. Crown position C is used to adjust the hour hand and minute hands in unison and is also used to adjust the GMT hand. When setting the time, make note of Noon and Midnight to ensure you are setting the time correctly. If the date is changing in the middle of the day, you will need to adjust the time 12 hours ahead and reset the date to display the current date.

   • urning the crown clockwise will adjust all hands and date backwards.
   • Turning the crown counter-clockwise will adjust all hands and date forwards.
     When setting the GMT hand, you will look at the index track along the edge of the dial. You will note that this track is 0 to 24 hours. The GMT hand will only travel the dial once every 24 hours. Select the correct position to display the current time in the 2nd time zone you wish to track.

4. After setting the watch to the desired time, date and 2nd time zone push the crown in to position A, and if applies, return the screw-down crown to the locked position.

OFFICE GMT
GMT watches in which the hour hand is geared to be set along with the minute hand, as you would with a standard analog watch are often referred to as an office GMT. Please follow the instructions below to determine if your watch falls into this movement type.

24-HOUR GMT INDEX
If your watch is equipped with a 24-hour index printed at the outer edge of the dial, you can track an alternate time zone by aligning the GMT hand with the current time in the desired time zone as indicated on the 24-hour index.

ROTATING GMT BEZEL
If your watch is equipped with a rotating bezel with a 24-hour index, you can track an alternate time zone by rotating the bezel to align the GMT hand with the current time in the desired time zone. NOTE: If your watch is equipped with both a 24-hour index on the dial and a rotating GMT bezel, you can track three time zones.

READING THE GMT ANALOG DISPLAY

GMT HAND + 24 HOUR INDEX ON THE ROTATING BEZEL:
After setting the time to the desired time zones you can review time zone 1 by using the hour and minute hands on the main dial. The rotating bezel is normally worn in the standard position with the 24-hour marking aligned with the 12 position. You can review time zone 2 by reviewing the GMT hand against the 24-hour index on the bezel. For most places, but not all, the minutes within the hour are the same across the time zones. You can also review the minute hand on the main dial for a more accurate view of the minutes within the hour.

GMT HAND + 24 HOUR INDEX ON THE DIAL:
After setting the time to the desired time zones you can review time zone 1 by using the hour and minute hands on the main dial. The 24-hour index on the dial will have the 24-hour aligned with the 12 position. You can review time zone 2 by reviewing the GMT hand against the 24-hour index on the dial. For most places, but not all, the minutes within the hour are the same across the time zones. You can also review the minute hand on the main dial for a more accurate view of the minutes within the hour.

GMT HAND + 24 HOUR INDEX ON THE DIAL + 24-HOUR INDEX ON THE ROTATING BEZEL: If your watch is equipped with a rotating bezel with a 24-hour index as well as a 24-hour index on a rotating bezel you can track three time zones by rotating the bezel to align the GMT hand with the current time in the desired third time zone. Zone 1 will be viewed with the main dial hour and minute hands. Zone 2 will be the GMT hand viewed with the 24-hour index on the dial. Zone 3 will be the GMT hand viewed with the 24-hour index on the rotating bezel. For most places, but not all, the minutes within the hour are the same across the time zones. You can also review the minute hand on the main dial for a more accurate view of the minutes within the hour for zones 2 and 3.
