I wrote this back in 2009:"I use my Torgoen T5 watch. It gains four second a year. It has the normal watch hands plus a separately settable 24 hour hand and a 24 hour clock face. You can reset the 24 hour hand without affecting the setting of the other hands, the watch keeps running while resetting the 24 hour hand so doesn't lose its accuracy. I normally keep the watch set to zone time and the 24 hour hand set to Zulu. If traveling for just a few days I will leave the watch set to my home zone and set the 24 hour time to the zone in which I am traveling. On my recent voyage across the Atlantic, since I would be crossing many zones and doing celnav, I set the watch to Zulu and then adjusted the 24 hour hand to the zone times being kept on board since I could make these adjustments without losing Zulu time on the other hands. Here is a picture of the watch:"http://www.topflightwatches.com/torgoen/t5/t05101.html?image=large http://fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx/Interpolation-latitude-LaPook-nov-2009-g10624 gl --- On Sat, 4/21/12, Greg Rudzinski <gregrudzinski@yahoo.com> wrote:
