Read This Before You Set the Time and Date!

This watch is preset with a number of city codes, each of which represents the time
zone where that city is located. When setting the time, it is important that you first
select the correct city code for your Home City (the city where you normally use the
watch). If your location is not included in the preset city codes, select the preset city
code that is in the same time zone as your location.

• Note that all of the times for the World Time City codes (page E-18) and Dual Time

City are displayed in accordance with the time and date settings you configure for
the Timekeeping Mode.

To set the time and date

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down

A for about five

seconds until the left dial hand points to T1 and the city
code flashes on the upper display. This is the setting
mode.

2. Use

D and B to select the city code you want.

• Make sure you select your Home City code before

changing any other setting.

World Time

World Time digitally displays the current time in one of
48 cities (29 time zones) around the world. A simple
operation swaps your Home City with the currently
selected World Time City.

• The times kept in the World Time Mode are

synchronized with the time being kept in the
Timekeeping Mode. If you feel that there is an error in
any World Time Mode time, check to make sure you
have the correct city selected as your Home City. Also
check to make sure that the current time as shown in
the Timekeeping Mode is correct.

• Times in the World Time Mode are based on UTC

offsets. See the “City Code Table” at the back of this
manual for information about the UTC offsets that are
supported.

• All of the operations in this section are performed in the World Time Mode, which

you enter by pressing

C (page E-9).
