A great choice for globetrotters and pilots flying from one continent to another, the Torgoen T5 Zulu Time Watch enables you to easily track two time zones simultaneously. This handsomely designed men's T5 (model T50103S01) offers a precise Swiss quartz timing movement and has an additional hand to denote a second time zone, which completes a full circle once ever 24 hours. It features a high-grade stainless steel watch case (with off-center crown at the bottom) and textured brown Italian leather strap (with contrast stitching), and the case measures 46mm (1.82 inches) wide and 14mm (0.55 inches) thick. The dial has a dark blue center with a mix of luminous stick markers and Arabic numerals at the quarter hours, large luminous hands (with red seconds and secondary time zone hands), small minute indexes, and a date window at 4 o'clock. It's framed by an outer ring in royal blue with 24-hour markings in Arabic numerals.
Other features include a scratch-resistant mineral crystal and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)--offering protection from accidental splashes as well suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and light recreational diving. It comes with a detailed instruction booklet.
Track another time zone by using the crown to adjust the thicker, red 24-hour hand. Using This Zulu Time Watch
For easy reference in communications, each of the world's 24 time zones has been assigned a letter of the alphabet (less the letter "I" and "O"). The "clock" at Greenwich, England is used as the standard clock for international reference of time in communications, military, maritime and other activities that cross time zones. The letter designation for this clock is Z, pronounced ZULU in the phonetic alphabet.
To set the time, pull out the crown 2 steps and turn. To set a different time zone, pull out the crown out only one step and then turn to one direction to change the date and the other to set the 24-hour hand to indicate a different time zone of your choice. For example, if you are in New York City, at noon, and wish to track the time in Rock Springs, Wyoming (2 hours behind New York), turn the crown until the red 24-hour hand points to 10:00 on the 24-hour scale (5:00 on the 12-hour scale).
