There is no changing of the GMT hand... It's ...
In Response To: Autavia Instructions ()

: I own a 1977 Autavia GMT Automatic
: (model11630). I lost the manual 25 years
: ago; and don't know how to change the 2nd
: time zone hand. Can anyone help?

There is no changing of the GMT hand... It's slaved to the hour hand, and rotates around the dial at half speed (once per 24 hours instead of once per 12 hours) compared to the hour hand. If you need to track a second time zone, use the bezel.

Sorry, that would be a neat feature, but these models didn't come with that ability.
