The indicator on the dial selects between "Wind", "Date", and "Time" functions. It is operated by the pusher on the crown. Once the function has been selected, all one need do is turn the crown to wind the watch, set the date, or set the time -- all without having to pull out the crown as on a traditional watch. The pushers on the left side of the watch serve a quick set function for moving the hour hand backward or forward as one enters a new time zone. All of these functions operate incredibly smoothly. Definitely something different and unique!
