That is a good feature of GMTII or EXP II (the both use the 3185 or 3186 movements).

I don't think that's true. I think it's okay to set the hour hand in either direction, clockwise or counterclockwise. That stands to reason, because you don't always travel in the same direction. If you're travelling west, you don't want to have to spin all the way through the calendar just to set the correct time.
