Review of the Oceanus 5 Motor (OCW600TDA
The stopwatch's second hand is the third primary hand (which is usually the second hand on analog watches without chronographs), and the subdial at the six o'clock position which normally measures seconds in timekeeping mode measures fractions of a second in chronograph mode (only for the first 60 seconds). Daily alarm. When in alarm mode, the world time subdial allows you to set a single daily alarm. Automatic calendar (through the year 2099). 24-hour subdial at the 9 o'clock position.One of my favorite watch complications is the GMT hand: a separate (typically fourth) independently settable hand marking 24-hour time. It's extremely useful for people like pilots, travelers, and businesspeople who not only need to be able to switch between different time zones easily, but who also need to be able to keep track of two time zones simultaneously.The addition of the GMT hand came in the mid-1950s when Pan Am worked with Rolex to create a watch for pilots flying transatlantic flights. You can read more about the history of GMT watches in Christian's review of the Rolex GMT Master II. But for now, back to Citizen.I recently learned that Citizen has added several new GMT models to their Attesa line of high-end quartz watches.It has the same octagonal case as many of the older G-Shocks (and the new retro tribute G-Shocks), but the brushed stainless steel bezel makes the shape much more pronounced. In fact, the shape is the first thing you notice about the GW056A.
