- RING COMMAND BEZEL - Watch setting & Corrections:
- The bezel is key to setting the 3 functions of the watch (time, dual-time & annual calendar). The "RING COMMAND BEZEL" features 3 positions, each position corresponds to a different function of the watch. Setting the bezel to the position of the corresponding watch function will allow the correction of that particular function via the crown.
GMT/Dual Time-Zone:
- Off-center silvered 24 hour ring.
- Red triangle indicating the additional time-zone.
- Indicated in 24 hour mode to easily distinguish between AM & PM at the additional time-zone location.
- The dual time-zone is adjustable in one hour increments & can be adjusted without stopping or interrupting the operation of the movement.
- SAROS Annual Calendar:
- Date window at 3 o'clock with a "cyclops" magnifier.
- Month display via small windows at each hour marker (12 hours = 12 month). A red filled display window indicates the current month.
- A manual correction is required only once a year on March 1st to compensate for the shorter 28 or 29 days of February.
- The date can be adjusted both forward & backward.
