Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the digital time setting by one hour from
Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving
Time.
The time calibration signal transmitted from Rugby and Mainflingen includes both
Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch
switches between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in
accordance with the received time signal.

Auto DST (AUTO) can be selected only while

time) manually.

setting is adjusted automatically whenever you change the digital time.

setting.

Whenever you need to adjust both the digital and the analog time settings manually,
make sure you adjust the digital setting first.
