I’m surprised the Citizen Calenderier didn’t make the List…

I’m hoping you might be able to please help? I live in New Zealand and I’ve got a worldtime watch SKU WO057FAACVM7ANTH-138005, but cant find any manual instructions on how to set up this watch (just had the battery replaced). Could you please tell me where I could find these or if another watch has the same set up and I might be able to use those instructions. Really appreciate your help.

In reply to caferacer. Bought one in 1986, it still functions perfectly.

I loved my JLC Master Geographic but really struggled reading the hands against the dial colour and reluctantly sold it. The replacements I considered were Hora Mundi, VC Traditionalle World Time, Patek 5130 and the new JLC Geophysic Universal. Breguet make beautiful watches and pieces of art., I discounted it because price and the fatness of the watch made it wear a bit heavy on my wrist. But truly a beautiful watch. The VC is the most comprehensive with 36 time zones. The downside to that is that you need to squeeze all those names onto the dial and then things start getting a bit cluttered. It is also about 25% more expensive than the PP and larger in size at 42 mm. But certainly a true world time. The JLC I loved the photos but when I touched it in the flesh just felt under whelmed. Its function and in SS the price point is good but I didn’t feel the clarity of the hands were much better for me as a user. The dial looked great in the phots, the single crown an inspiration but I just didn’t get the emotional connection. The PP I went back and looked at for over 2 months. It didn’t suit my needs totally as I do need India and Iran time zones which it doesn’t have. I also hated the idea of a certain town on the dial which shall remain anonymous…just gave me an absolute fur ball and the fact that it didn’t seem to cater for day light saving. The watch on its own I thought was pretty ugly but it kept pulling me back and I absolutely love it. It oozes quality and workmanship and I cant wait to put it on in the mornings…so the PP won I am afraid…now for the 5524!
