* The 24-hour hand keeps indicating the time of the
area you have selected in the “TIME (DUAL TIME
for models with 24-hour hand) / DATE SETTING”.
●How to calculate the time difference between two cities
Ex.) When you move from Rome to New York:
[A] Rome time : +1 hour from GMT
[B] New York time : -5 hours from GMT
So the time difference between Rome and New York is:
[B] - [A] = (-5) - (+1) = -6 (hours)
You should move the hour hand back 6 hours.
