Sounds
confusing at first, but the ingenious system is incredibly easy to use. Housing the CFB 1901 caliber, designed by Dubois-Depraz, the watch's hour hand disengages
from the hand movement so it can be set either forward or backward for local time indication. It is operated via the crown and moves in one-hour increments. While
setting the local time, the movement continues to run and the exact time is precisely tracked. Similarly, the date display can be moved forward or backward.
The
third time zone, which can be set and read on a twenty-fourhour rotating disk that operates via an innovative single push-button mechanism, is changed in hourly
increments. The single pushbutton, located on the left side of the case, operates forward or backward because its gears have been hardened to 5,000
Vickers –
guaranteeing smooth function. A neutral position on the monopusher prevents the display from being unintentionally set to the wrong position.
