Setting the hour with the bezel, did you know it was possible?

Dec 19, 2023,23:20 PM
 

Hello all, I just discovered the Oris Big Crown ProPilot World timer. One very interesting feature is the ability to set the hour of the local timezone by rotating the bezel. You can change the hour both ways and this impact the date. It is the first time I encounter such complication. Did you know it was possible? Do you know other mechanical watches capable to do so? Horology is fascinating world!! Best, E.

But sky dweller uses bezel for adjustment. Cool I did not expect that was how this Oris worked. Nice.

It's not. The Sky Dweller is not a world timer.

I thought referring to set with the bezel not just the WT part. Thanks for clarifying. Definitely uncommon!

yes, impressive from Oris!
