The end of the review contains a short glossary of terms like solstice, equinox, solar noon, etc.)Features and Functions of the YES Zulu WatchDigital timekeeping. Although the YES watchs specialty is celestial timekeeping, of course it conveys standard hours, minutes and seconds, as well. The upper Replica Omega 4617.35.02 De Ville Prestige Watch portion of the watchs face is a dot matrix LCD which, in standard home mode, ticks off time just like any other digital watch.Analog timekeeping. Both in contrast to and complimenting the digital portion of the watch, YES watches have a single analog 24-hour hand powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement.
The 24-hour hand makes one full revolution per day, indicating the time in both 12 and 24 hour formats, and also indicating the suns current position in the sky, which brings me to my favorite feature of the YES watch:Solar time. The digital and analog portions of the YES watch collaborate to convey solar time. Below the dot matrix LCD, the YES watch contains a sort of pie chart consisting of a bunch of thin LCD slices representing 15 minute intervals which divide the watch face very intuitively into day Replica Omega 2221.80 Seamaster Watch and night. As you change the watchs location, or as the year progress, the LCD changes to represent the appropriate day/night ratio so that it is accurate anywhere in the world, anytime of the year (up to the year 2100). When the 24-hour hand reaches the first shaded LCD segment, the sun is setting, and as it moves out of the shaded portion of the watch face, the sun is rising.
A quick glance at the watch indicates how much light you have left in the day, or how much darkness is left in the night.Lunar time. The YES watchs outer LCD ring indicates the time the moon rises and sets, similar to the way solar time is indicated.Lunar phase. The YES watch contains a small circular LCD which waxes and wanes along with the moon. A quick glance at the watch will let you know how Replica Omega 95 1476.79 Constellation Iris Watch much of the moon is currently illuminated.Date. Press the upper right-hand button and see the month, date, and the day of week.Multiple time zones. You can use the YES watch to officially keep track of three different time zones, though it occurred to me that you can eke out a fourth if you really need to. The digital portion of the watch supports two time profiles: home and away.
