It is a time difference adjustment function to show the times of two

areas where there is a time difference in between, such as London

and Tokyo. The 24-hour hand, which takes 24hours to turn full cir-

cle on the watch, shows the time of a different time zone. Please

note that there are two different ways of using the 24-hour hand.

Choose the way of using it before setting the time.

This watch, Cal.9S56, features a time

difference adjustment function.

Two different time zones can be displayed

at the same time when you set

the hour hand and 24-hour hand respectively

in accordance with each time zone.

The 24-hour hand shows

what time of AM/PM it is now.

Set the 24-hour hand to the current time of the

place you are staying to use it as a 24-hour

display. Only by seeing the direction that the

24-hour hand shows, you can see what time

it is and whether it is AM or PM. If you set

the 24-hour hand to Japan standard time, you

can check Japan time even when you set the

hour hand and the second hand to the local

time while you are abroad. This is very conve-

nient.

One watch, two time zones

You can see the times of

two different areas on your watch

Set the 24-hour hand to the time of an area in

different time zone from your residence. The

24-hour hand and the hour hand show two

different time zones respectively. For instance,

if you set the 24-hour hand to Greenwich

Mean Time and set the hour hand to Japan

standard time, you can always check GMT

while you are seeing the current time in

Japan.

Set the time

without stopping the watch.

It seems that many people do not like setting

the watch to local time when they are

abroad. Pull out the crown, stop the watch

once, set the time by turning the watch hand,

and make the second hand start according to

the time signal…these efforts are no longer

necessary if you use the time difference

adjustment function. Set the hour hand only to

local time per hour, without stopping the

minute hand and the second hand. Since the

date changes according to the hour hand, the

right date of the place you are staying can be

also displayed.
