The coloured segments each span 3 minutes and show the period during which radio silence is observed to listen for distress calls on the international distress frequencies.

The red segments indicate the listening periods for distress calls made with CW (morse code) and the green segments indicate listening periods for voice calls, usually on frequency 2182 kHz although other frequencies are also used.

Thanks for teaching me something new! I love that dial, and the case with the crown guards is a nice touch. Any info on the case diameter?

I believe that Eddie Platts, who owns TZ-UK, also owns the Smiths brand and produces (well-made & appropriate) Smiths watches. Eddie's a 'good guy'. [nt]
