Stunning replica Franck Muller Vanguard Yachting (V 45 CC DT 5N BL) and helpful tips for any analog watch, automatic or mechanical! Our top TWS tip today is how to use your analog watch as a compass.

If you are in the Northern Hemisphere:

step 1:

Remove the watch from your wrist and place it face up in the palm of your hand. This trick can be done with a watch on your wrist, but it's a little tricky!

Step 2:

Point the watch's hour hand directly at the sun. It doesn't really matter as long as your watch is accurate and aligned with the "real" local time, meaning no adjustment for daylight saving time etc. If the sun is too bright and you can't find another way to tell exactly where it is, or it might be a little overcast, put a thin stick on the ground and see in which direction the shadow is cast, aligning the hour hand of the watch with the cast shadow can The more precise the positioning is relative to the sun viewing, the more accurate the alignment with the sun, the more accurate the resulting compass bearing.best swiss replica watches

Step 3:

Read the distance between the hour hand and 12 o'clock, if it is more than half o'clock, read the distance clockwise, if it is before half o'clock, read the distance counterclockwise.

Step 4:

The angle between the bisector hour hand and 12 o'clock. This can be done by calculating the minute mark in the angle between the hour hand and 12 and dividing it by 2, or by pulling out the crown and adjusting the minute hand as it is easier to visually find the midpoint, then you There is an arrow pointing south. (Note: watch the movement of the hour hand when adjusting the minute hand! You should bisect the angle of the hour hand before the adjustment, note this using the minute track on the dial. Also, do not adjust the minute hand on the watch unless you have a way to reset the watch for correct and accurate local time, or the watch can't be used as a compass again because it would be incorrect and thus cause the compass heading to be inaccurate. This trick has less to do with the watch itself and more to do with knowing the time). A line going forward from this halfway point between the hour hand and 12 o'clock will point due south, so going back along the same line will point due north.perfect replica watches

Step 4

If you have a rotating chronograph bezel, rotate the bezel to align the 30-second mark with the south-pointing angle bisector, then, due to the exact 90° angle of the quarter-hour bezel, the quarter-hour marks will point to the due east and due west marks.

Some Breitling watches have compass bearings marked on their rotating bezels for exactly this purpose. The image above shows how the technique is performed in the Northern Hemisphere.

In my opinion, the most accurate way to use this technique is to place the watch on the floor and use a thin stick to cast a shadow so that the hour hand points precisely to the sun. Then set the 30-second marker of the rotating bezel to the midpoint between the hour hand and 12 o'clock. Your watch is then precisely aligned with the compass bearing and you can walk around it to orient north. Holding the watch, you have to hold the watch in the same position to make it accurate, which can be tricky if you're trying to follow the line backwards to find north. Putting the watch on the ground means the watch is stable and easier to locate using the compass heading, which you can then move around to find the exact compass heading you need.replica Carl F.

In the Southern Hemisphere:

In the southern hemisphere, you would align the 12 o'clock mark with the sun. Then, again bisect the smallest angle between the 12 o'clock marker and the hour hand. Here, the forward angle from the bisector points north, and the backward angle points south. Essentially, the opposite of the Northern Hemisphere.

Franck Muller Vanguard Yachting is equipped with an internal compass track that can be used for the same purpose. Instead, since the internal compass is not adjustable, the entire watch is rotated to point north.

While this trick shouldn't take precedence over traditional navigation methods, it's useful in emergencies where no other method is available, or just to impress your peers with your navigation knowledge! replica Jacob and Co. Oil Pump Watches
