Good Afternoon,

My dad was kind enough to lend me his 1976 GMT I Pepsi, however even after 31 years of ownership he didn't know how to set the 24h hand...
I looked it up online but could only find insstructions for the newer GMT II's.

Would anyone happen to know how I set the 24h hand? Thanks!!

Cheers,
Steve

Mike will know for sure, but I think it's in the second crown open position...

The GMT-MASTER does allow for "de-coupling" between the 12 and 24 hour hands. They are synced together.
To use the 24 hr. hand for another timezone the bezel has to be turned. Your watch should have a hacking feature, but the date will be non-quickset. (can be a real pain)

So it does NOT allow for de-coupling....

I should add that had you watch been a 16750 the numer 2 position would be for the quick-set date, a feature 1675s do not have.

Thanks for your quick reply!

I was going to set the 24h hand to GMT, and the 12h clock to my local time... However, I guess this is not an option with this older watch.

Cheers,
Steve

Well, just to show you how context can mean everything, I thought you actually DID type it. I subconsciously put it in, I guess!

It's the voices Allan. I don't mind when they speak, I just wish they wouldn't all talk at the same time!!
