: I am like this watch, but I need to have a
: second timezone.
: Answers appreciated
No, the 24 hour hand is engaged to the central hour hand and cannot be set for a second timezone. It's purpose is to provide you with a.m./p.m. orientation, not a second time zone. However, you can use your chronograph in such a way to fulfil your purpose: start the chrono exactly when your second time zone needs to kick in and use your hour totalizer at 6 o'clock as your second time zone pointer. For example, if you live in New York and you have business in California. The time difference is 3 hours. If you start your chrono at 3 o'clock, you will be able to read New York time from the hour hand, and California time from the hour subdial at 6 o'clock of your day-date Speedmaster.
