How to really use the compass on the Arktos?

[reficul]

From this website http://www.thewatchquote.com/Panerai-Lumin...tos-No_4058.htm, I found the instruction:

"Instructions for use: with the hour hand directed to the sun, turn the lunette to position the point corresponding to north half way between the hour hand and the 12 o

Here check out this site for a reference, it explains it much more clearly:

These instructions are correct. This works with any watch (as long as it has a 12h dial). Between 6am and 6pm and with no daylight saving time, point the hour hand to the sun and South will be half way between the hour hand and 12. So at 10 o'clock, South would be at 11.

To find North, you go the longer way to the 12 and divide it by two. For the example of 10 o'clock this is 5. IMO, finding South is more intuitive and easier to remember. Just find South and then go to the opposite side of the dial.

24 hr dials are much easier in this respect. Point the hour hand to the sun and South is at 12 o'clock.
