World Time

World Time shows the current time in 48 cities (29 time
zones) around the world.

The times kept in the World Time Mode are
synchronized with the time being kept in the

any World Time Mode time, check the UTC differential of
your Home Site Data (Home City) and the current
setting of the Timekeeping Mode time.

Select a city code in the World Time Mode to display the
current time in any particular time zone around the
globe. See the “UTC Differential/City Code List” at the
back of this manual for information about the UTC
differential settings that are supported.
