NANOJAMBO Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Has anyone got one of these who knows how to adjust the time setting. I just started using it after leaving it in a drawer for 3 years. It was fine until the clocks went forward a couple of weeks ago and now I have no clue how to adjust it for the one hour difference. The user manual is a total nightmare and I can't find anything relevant on YT . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 It seems to have a screw down crown. Have you unscrewed it so you can pull it out 2 stops to the setting for moving the hands? Turn the crown anti clockwise then when it’s fully undone pull it out 1 stop to set the date, 2 stops to set the time. Then push it back in and turn it clockwise while you’re applying a bit of pressure and you’ll feel it screw back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it screws down - I might have bust it - but I get the pull it out 1 stop thingy . No matter what I do with this watch i cannot get it to pick up London. It shows "MAD" - I'm assuming Madrid - which it isn't supposed to do and constantly shows Spanish time ie GMT +1 I've looked at the manual (pointless) and YT vids assume you are in America.

Tazio Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Ah. It’s the atomic time one and not the standard chronograph then. In which case I can give no useful advice at all I’m afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to blag it by pretending I need to know the time in Madrid. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got a link which doesn't do the bog standard "setting the time"lease send it. I can't find anything that does UK. The "UK " clock is in Germany BTW. Hence the 1 hour difference AFAI can seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Some of these over complicated ana-digital / electro-mechanical GMT/UTC calibres are a total dog's dinner. Gadgety pain in the arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not hugely special but it’s powered by light and linked to the radio atomic clock. Probably more gimmicky with some of its functions but I’ve had mine nearly 10 years and it’s always been really reliable especially as it’s a daily wearer.

I'd never buy a thing like that - I got a long service award and out of the catalogue of choices this was the "best".

Thats my exact watch Citizen, my wife bought it for me seven years ago The best watch I have ever owned I set it to London time (for Hearts games)and Vancouver time and have done nothing since. It advances or retards for the two saving times changes, in the winter I have to make sure I leave it in the sun to keep it charged, otherwise I do nothing but wear it and check the time. Solar powered, radio controlled. We bought it in the States, it was on sale, but was still over the amount of duty free I was allowed on return to Canada so I said no I couldn't buy it. As we walked away a Chinese sales girl came and asked how much duty free I was allowed, I told her and she lowee the price to exactly that amount and gave me the approprite sales bills. I found it particularly handy when driving distances in the States or when we flew to Vegas it automatically set to the proper time zone.
