That certainly is unique. That has got to be a real conversation starter. How do you tell the time on it?
Ok to tell the time, one needs to know the way to do that.
Look at the second pic, the Orange DOT tells the minute. And look carefully at the globe, there is a tiny pin protuding out between position 12 and 1 o'clock.
That's not all. the minute is very directly read (with the help of the markings on the bezel). Though there is no markings telling minutes but one has to IMAGINE that those numerical markings on the dial is of 5 minutes interval.
The weird thing is the hour! ;) The protuding pin(hour hand) moves ANTI-CLOCKWISE instead of normal clockwise, and it moves one revolution every 24 hours. The markers on the bezel is the hours like a GMT bezel. The protuding pin(hour hand) is like a GMT hand but moves in anti-clockwise direction.
Hence, the time on the second pic is 2324hrs. It can be 2323hrs too. For this watch, the EXACT time read is not so significant. In short, time is told with +/-1 minute.
