English If your watch has an inner rotating ring with the names of the world's major cities The names of the world's major cities are displayed on this inner rotating ring. The ring can be rotated by turning the crown for the inner rotating ring. The combination of a city name on the ring and the hour hand lets you know the approximate time of each city. Hour hand Crown for the inner rotating ring Example 1: When you wish to know the time in Paris while you are staying in Hong Kong 10:00 AM in Hong Kong *Inner rotating ring 4 * Cities on the inner rotating ring may differ by model. 3:00 AM in Paris Supposing that the hour hand is pointing to the current hour in Hong Kong which is 10:00 AM: 1. Turn the crown for the inner rotating ring until the city name HONG KONG is set to the time to which the hour hand is pointing. The hour in Paris which is 3 o'clock can be obtained by reading the hour marker to which the city name PARIS corresponds. 2. For determining if the time is AM or PM in Paris, follow the city names on the ring from HONG KONG to find PARIS (do not turn the crown). The city name on the ring starts from MIDWAY and ends at AUCKLAND. Time goes ahead if following the ring clockwise from MIDWAY to AUCKLAND, and goes behind if following the ring counterclockwise from AUCKLAND to MIDWAY. In this example, if you follow the ring clock wise, you cannot go further when you reach AUCKLAND. Therefore, follow the ring counterclockwise to reach PARIS. It can be read that it is 3:00 AM in Paris. *The time differences between cities represented by the city names on the ring are one-hour offsets. 5 English
