In today's video we cover how to set the GMT bezel and how to read a GMT on the Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBGE201 for up to 3 time zones. First we show you how to set your home time, next we set the local time and finally we set the GMT bezel for our 3rd time zone.

Thank you for presenting a simple explanation on how to use a GMT or Universal watch. It was the first time I actually understood how to set up a GMT watch for 3 time zones.

Thank you for a comprehensible explanation of how the watch works AND how to set 3 zones!

For a pilot, the GMT hand is set on UTC always. Home time is set on the main hands and the destination time on the outer bezel (with the UTC time zone difference set at 12 o'clock on the outer bezel). After arrival, local time can then be set on the main hour hand until the next departure, unless home time is preferred .

Thank you!! I watched 4 other videos and none made sense. Your's clicked and I understand it now.

Thanks for the explanation! The use of the bezel always tripped me up. More of these instructional videos please. thanks!

[TSification]

very cool and super simple. I always wondered how that worked. Makes sense that the home time hand advances on a 24 hour cycle.

[dariussheik]

What if the difference of the second time zone is 4:30 hours? Thanks

[sammyb.]

Thanks, for that I'm subscribing to learn new things.

[dxenotime]

Great video. Thank you for explaining!

[lovesautodetail]

So in theory we could use 24 hour or for the second one we could just use the bezel and have a 12 hour reading.?

In a timezone that is offset 30 mins to other timezones (eg Adelaide, Tehran or Indian standard times) how do we adjust the GMT hand in 30 min increments?
