Tissot TwoTimer Setting Instructions

The Twotimer is available in many different styles, in both round and rectangular cases but the setting instructions are identical for all. Interestingly, the quartz module used in this watch is also used in the early Breitling Aerospace.

Analog Display

Dial and hands indicate local time.
Local time is indicated in the dial's digital display. (Not on the watch above).

The Various Functions of The Digital Display

As well as local time, you may select six additional functions whilst the crown is in position A (see diagram above). The selected function is indicated by a flashing line at the base of the digital display. The marker line which appears in the digital display without flashing, indicates the function currently in use.
