My wife got me this watch from the AFC store. The instructions inside claim the dials are “dual time hour hand (24 hr)” on top, “dual time hour hand (12 hr)” on the left, and “dual time minute hand” on the bottom, but the numbers on the dials obviously don’t line up for that except on the bottom. I have not had much luck finding anything similar online. Anyone familiar with something like this and could explain it to me?
Odometer. Geiger counter. Bristol stool scale.
I’ve never seen something like that top one before. I’m guessing it’s supposed to mean 0-20, and it’s just omitting the second digit on the numbers 10-20. That makes me think that the top one is the minute counter for the chronograph.
Is one of the hands on the 0-60 ones moving constantly? One of those should be the number of seconds for the current time. I’m saying this assuming that it’s a chronograph.
It doesn’t appear to be a chronograph. The bottom one moves in time with the minutes. The buttons on top and bottom seem to be in line with the idea of a 24 hour on top and a 12 hour on the left by causing them to move forward/backward by about 1/24 and 1/12 of a rotation respectively. I’m very confused as to what the numbers mean in this case.
Oh, interesting. I have no idea, then. :S
Best guess I can make is that the top is 24h, but in decimal time for some weird reason. Do top and left make one rotation in 24h and 12h?
Looks to be about the case. The buttons cause what appears to be a 1/24 and 1/12 in the top and left respectively. So I think that is what is going on, but the numbers just don’t make any sense to me…
Edit: After playing with a bit I think that’s exactly what’s going on. For some reason the 24 hour face is two blocks of ten which twice decimal time. Very odd, but that does seem to be what’s happening. And the 12 hour on the left just has the minute numbers for a hand that only does hours.
From what I understand, the clock on the left indicates the hour in a different time zone, and the clock in the top has to do something about the time zone the second clock is in. (my guess is that you are in america, hence time being 9 AM, and the same time on UTC+2 would be 4PM, as shown on the left clock)
This is my interpretation though, first time i saw that thing on the top.
It could also be a decimal counter, for when you make a precise time mesural in a footrun or something.
Bottom dial is a copy of the minute hand.
The two others are fakes that are supposed to make it look like it’s a 20 hour chronograph.
Likely without function apart from jumping by 1 when you push a button.
The inner bezel is likely also fake and doesn’t actually rotate.
This is a cheap quartz watch, I’m guessing?The top is functional as a 24 hr and the left as a 12 hr. For whatever reason the face of those doesn’t match the function ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
