    I'd assume that you can set all subdials at the same time with a 2nd crown position (like you usually have for date, etc). The subdials are all driven by the same gear but offset by the relative timezone as stated on the subdial.

    I hope that's not how they've done it. If you look at the sub-dials, they're not off-set by integer number of hours.

    Although it must be "fun" to set this watch, after experiencing the jumping hands while setting my Alpha GMT.

    I would imagine you simply set the main dial to GMT/UTC/ZULU, and the rest of the dials follow accordingly.

    Crown out, turn counter clockwise and set your favorite subdial to that time zone's real time. All subdials and regular hands will move.

    Turn clockwise to set your local time. Only the regular hands will move.

    Set crown in.
