THE HEART OF THE
GMT-MASTER II MODEL
DISPLAYING AN ALTERNATIVE
TIME ZONE (setting via the bezel only)
An alternative time zone can be
displayed by using the rotatable bezel
and the 24-hour hand (which usually
displays the reference time).
To display the alternative time zone,
place the bezel in the neutral position
(triangle at 12 o’clock). Then calculate
the number of hours’ difference between
the reference time and the time in the
desired time zone. If that time zone is
ahead (east of the reference time), turn
the bezel counterclockwise the same
number of hours. If the desired time
zone is behind (west of the reference
time), turn the bezel clockwise the same
number of hours. The 24-hour hand read
against the bezel indicates the time in
the alternative time zone. The minutes
are shown on the dial by the centre
minute hand.
Example
To show Tokyo time (+8 hr compared
to Geneva reference time), turn the bezel
8notches counterclockwise.
To return to the reference time display,
turn the bezel in either direction to place
the triangle on the bezel opposite the
12o’clock marker on the dial (neutral
position).
