Gadgeguy2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hello all, I got a Breitling Chrono from watcheden, with a quartz UTC module on its bracelet. Is anyone here familiar with the UTC module? If I understand it correctly, one full turn of the hours hand indicates the passing of 24 hours on it (vs. 12 hours on a normal watch) - but does this also mean, that 1 turn of the minutes hand indicates 2 hours? So if the minutes hand points to the 6 o'clock position, that actually means that it is a full hour? So the way the UTC module works is exactly like a real clock, just at half the speed (so the hours hand advances 1 "hour" in 2 hours, and the minutes hand makes a full turn as well in 2 hours)? I am confused and do not fully understand how this UTC module is supposed to work... Could please someone explain? Thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadgeguy2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Fire it up and time it! You will soon figer it out. Col. Thank you: yes, I am already doing that. I am just not sure if the replica provided by watcheden works the same way the real thing does. I have never seen the real thing, so that is why I asked the question.

andreww Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I am pretty sure the rep UTC functions as a 12 hour clock, even though the dial is printed as 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronoluvvv Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I am pretty sure the rep UTC functions as a 12 hour clock, even though the dial is printed as 24. not necessary i have one on my Ti Avenger and it works like a proper 24 hr quartz movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I think the old ones were right. I seem to recall some newer ones were being delivered with 12 hour movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yes mine works as a 24 hour clock, as the real one does. Its one of the older ones on the chrono avenger Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgeguy2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Thank you all. The one I have works as a regular 12 hour clock, despite the 24 hour markings on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
