Time and space are chaotic? Without a multi-time time zone table, will the business trapeze encounter psychedelic moments like this picture? Multi-location time zone tables can display the time of two places, multiple places at the same time, and even world time watches that can display the time of 24 time zones around the world at the same time, the most common of which is the two places time table and the world time table.
There are two main ways to achieve timekeeping in two places: by adding a small time zone dial on the main dial or adding another hour hand to display the second time zone. It is simple and convenient, and can be adjusted by a crown. It is a very popular single-function watch. By adding a small time zone dial, it can be easily changed to a three-time or even a four-time. The dial of the world time is marked with the name of a world-famous city. Just rotate the dial to the corresponding city, and the hands will automatically adjust to the local time, which is more complicated than the time of the two places.
How to adjust the time zone
Regardless of whether it is a chronograph with two places or multiple time zones, whether it is a window type, center pointer or independent dial type, the time zone must be adjusted through the crown and buttons.
Crown adjustment: After the crown is pulled out, the chronograph hands in different time zones can be adjusted in different gears or the time zone dial in the rotating window can be adjusted.
Button adjustment: Press the button on the side of the case, and the position of the pointer on the dial will be adjusted to different time zones. Some watches are designed with two buttons, which can make the hands rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, can quickly adjust to the corresponding time zone, and can also avoid affecting the accuracy of timing.
Pay attention to the international date change line: the date will change after passing the international date change line, the date from east to west passing the international date change line will be reduced by one day, and the date from west to east passing the international date change line will be added by one day.
