HOW TO READ THE SECOND TIME ZONE
The GMT function allows travellers to simultaneously read their local time and
a second time zone.
The local time is indicated by the conventional hour and minute and seconds
display.
The second time zone is indicated by the triangle tipped GMT hand read
against markings on the 24 Hours Dial ring.
Example :
You are travelling to Hong Kong from Zurich.
You will adjust the local time once in Hong Kong with the conventional hour
and minute hands.
You are able to adjust the GMT hand to read off the time in Zurich by setting it
6 hours behind the time in Hong Kong.

The triangle tipped GMT hand is always indicating Zurich time during your trip
in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong: 5pm
