Thanks guys, you seem to like it a lot :wink: Got a few PM's about selling it. I'm afraid the answer is no for the moment. Altough I do not wear this E that much it still is an amazing watch and the combination of the Coral dial + UTC makes it a great conversation piece where ever you go. Not for the shy this one :wink:

Erm, I've been meaning to ask this a few times.

What is a UTC and what is it for? I've looked on the internets and would like someone to explain it to me in plain English!

Nice watch btw..

UTC stands for Universal Time, Coordinated. Apparently it was a compromise of sorts between CUT (coordinated universal time) in English and the French version TUC (temps universel coordonné).

Essentially it officially replaced GMT as the "reference" time, and all timezones around the world are UTC+ or UTC- however many hours.

There are a lot of very technical things to do with compensating for the Earth's rotation, but in real terms that means nothing at all to most of us! Just think of it as the same as GMT and you can't go far wrong!

The UTC module on a Breitling is just another mini watch face that traditionally would've kept UTC whilst the main watch face would be set to local time. All stuff to do with flying............ apparently!

As usual D8, a better, more complete :) answer. Thank You.
