The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I was wondering if some one can describe how the functions of the navitimer world work. I have read that it has a similar feature to the gmt. I am also wondering if it has the same jump in the minute hand as the bentley series watch. I love the look, but my local ad is not a place I want to spend money with. I could use all the information I can get. Thank you in advance.

There is a second hour hand for a second time zone.

Technically the watch will have the same jumping minute hand problem, but the way that the movement is implemented in the World means that it's not noticeable.

I have seen the second hand like the gmt, but I don't see any labels for time zones. How do you know which zone you're using and how do you change it?

Well if you set it to a certain location then you presumably know what that settings for.

It's set using the crown.

Thanks. I found another ad. Its a little far away, but I really want to check out this watch first hand.

My wife's in Europe at the moment and I have set my second hour hand 7 hours forward. Beleive it or not I really like this "feature"....very cool and useful!
Hasn't missed a beat.... About the minute hand skipping while in chrono mode....nothing here.... Its all good....doesn't skip at all.

That's fantastic. I do alot of exporting and that would be of great help. Am I right in saying you can only set 2 time zones?

That's correct - only two timezones.

1st timezone using the "regular" hour and minutes hands.
2nd timezone using the 2nd hour hand (the hand with the big red arrow at the end of it), using 24 hour markers.

If you (1) don't like using the 24hr time or (2) need more exact times or (3) need more than 2 timezones, perhaps an Airwolf with a co-pilot module would be the watch for you. That would allow you to see the exact time (hours and minutes) in 3 timezones.

I appreciate the information. That is definitely something to look into. I would like to know for the most part what I would like to see before I go to the ad in the city. It will be a whole day affair. Now I can read up on another choice and call ahead to make sure the models I narrow down to are in stock. Thanks again.

Four timezones for the airwolf actually. 1. Normal hands, 2. GMT/UTC London, 3. 2nd timezone, 4. Co-pilot timezone. However its always nicer to read the hands.
