I had my GMT hand set on my home time zone lined up with the 24hr bezel markers, but recently I decided to set it to actual G.M.T. (London).

Just wondered how others have their GMTs and/or Explorers setup. ??

MitchSteel · 4 January 2014, 06:43 AM

GMT/UTC/ZULU.....no matter what time zone it's pointing to, it's Miller Time somewhere

scranger · 4 January 2014, 06:51 AM

I keep mine on Zulu.

venom43 · 4 January 2014, 06:52 AM

It used to be on the Philippines time zone, now it's just on 24hrs/military time/Zulu.

powerfunk · 4 January 2014, 06:53 AM

I'm on the East Coast; my GMT's bezel is rotated so that the 24h is on West Coast time.

T. Ferguson · 4 January 2014, 06:59 AM

I keep the 24 hour hand on home time. Main reason is I'm much more familiar with the GMT offsets of other time zones in relation to my home time rather than in relation to Zulu. Plus, when I'm traveling elsewhere it quickly allows me to reference the TZ I need to know most frequently (home) at a glance, without the need to adjust the bezel. Lastly, by having both hour hands synched when in my home time zone it is already in compass mode for when I occasionally require a little navigational help.

Venom, from the pic you posted it would appear you're set to home time (military) and not Zulu (UTC).

The 24 hour hand logically should always be set to Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) or Zulu. It never is adjusted for daylight time since UTC is does not change. The hour hand is always in your local time zone. You can get the third time zone or home time when traveling by moving the bezel to the hour difference between your location and your home...in my case minus 9 hours on daylight time and minus 8 on standard time. I love it since I travel internationally and the watch just does the time differences so logically.

I don't set mine to a certain time, but I don't dive with my Sub either.

flyinghell34 · 4 January 2014, 08:19 AM

Moving to Italy this summer so mine is set to Rome in anticipation.

Tools · 4 January 2014, 08:30 AM

Mine are always on home time...

Whenever I travel I can always have that home reference...

IAN1 · 4 January 2014, 08:33 AM

I wear it on my right hand. ;)

Tudor66 · 4 January 2014, 08:39 AM

Old school GMT 1675 over here. The Bezel insert adjustments allow me to track other time zones. I sometimes keep the bezel at eastern standard time to check on co-workers in the east. Otherwise, west coast hours...

elcompa · 4 January 2014, 09:58 AM

I keep my hour hand on GMT as I do business in that time done.
