Casio 5078 Watch User Manual


 
E-37
The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.
The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month
lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it except after you have the watch’s batteries replaced.
World Time
All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time in the
Timekeeping Mode using UTC time differential values.
The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a
reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.
The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the
world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained
atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap
seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s
rotation.
