It is a time difference adjustment function to show the times of two
areas where there is a time difference in between, such as London
and Tokyo. The 24-hour hand, which takes 24hours to turn full cir-
cle on the watch, shows the time of a different time zone. Please
note that there are two different ways of using the 24-hour hand.
Choose the way of using it before setting the time.
This watch, Cal.9S56, features a time
difference adjustment function.
Two different time zones can be displayed
at the same time when you set
the hour hand and 24-hour hand respectively
in accordance with each time zone.
