Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you
last exited the mode appears first.
World Time
xThe seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
xAll World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time in the
Timekeeping Mode using UTC time differential values.
xThe UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a
reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.
xThe letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the
world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained
atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap
seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s
rotation.
E-25
xHolding down Cto turn the button operation tone on or off also causes the watch’s
current mode to change.

any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping Mode.
xIf you leave a screen with flashing digits or a cursor on the display for two or three
