I have a B50 Night Mission. I've been though all the steps and the watch is setup correctly.

Turning the crown to "UTC" (upper window) shows UTC time is the bottom window. Fine. In "DATE" mode, The date shows in the upper window and the current "analog" time in the lower window. Again, no problem.

Here is my question. Is there a way to have the date (OCT 01 16) to show in the upper window and have UTC time show in the lower window? I have read through the manual and looked on the internet and cannot find that answer.

If anyone knows, please let me know. I would be nice to have UTC time always available along with the date, without having to touch the crown.

TIA

No you can't.

The only way you can do this is by setting local time to reflect UTC. Although the watch main time reference is UTC, date can only be displayed under regular "Time" mode in the upper screen. UTC mode does not support date display.

See if a copilot bracelet is available for the model.

The copilot module has been rendered obsolete by the B50/55 models as all the flight functions and mission timers are integrated already into the function set of the watch. The watch supports 2 modes:

Sports mode where the pilot/flight modes are suppressed when the crown is turned to switch between available modes.

And

Pilot mode where the flight timers MET mission timers, etc are fully accessible.

There is no copilot module available for the B50/B55.

The only watches that continue to use the copilot module are the Aerospace and Emergency 2, both of which still use the ETA thermo line modules, caliber 76 & 79 respectively.
