Montbrillant Datora Inner Red Ring

[fly-dad]

Does anyone know how to use/read the inner red ring on the Montbrillant Datora? The Breitling website describes it as a 1/100th of an hour ring...so which hand am I supposed to use to reference the ring?

Also, is the "military time" seperately settable? For example, can I set the main hands to local time and the 24hr hands (small hands on the left) to GMT time?

Just curious.

Well, I just couldn't let a sleeping dog lie so I bought one to find out the answers.

The 24 hour time is not independantly settable. It simply reads the same time as the main hands...just in military time format.

The red ring is an index that helps pilots convert minutes into decimals of an hour. For example, a 1 hour and 36 minutes flight would be entered into the pilot's logbook as 1.6. Simple
