How the TZC Complication Works:

Most dual-time watches require you to stop the entire watch or manually spin the minute hand around to change the hours when you land in a new city. The TZC system behaves differently:

Crown Position    TZC Functionality
Middle Position (Position 2)    Engages the Time Zone Corrector. Turning the crown makes the central local hour hand "jump" forward or backward in exact one-hour increments.
While Adjusting    The seconds hand continues sweeping and the minute hand stays locked in place, preserving the watch's chronometric accuracy.
The 24-Hour Display    The 24-hour UTC window at the 12 o'clock position stays firmly fixed on your "home time", allowing you to see both zones at a glance.
Date Synchronization    If you click the local hour hand past midnight (either forward or backward), the date wheel automatically clicks over to match your new local time zone.
