    Found this Orient on the Bay and never saw a calendar dial like it before.
    Its a very nice looking watch, apparently some sort of GMT.

    How would this set up work?

    A strange "complication" from the 1970s I think. You supposedly set the year and the day and after a quick glance it tells you the date/timeyear.

    It takes me about ten minutes to figure out what day it is on my example, lucky it became non-functional in about 2000 :D.

    A good novelty that everyone should have one of in their collection.

    Just checked. Mine is a Wittnauer and it became "obsolete" on 31 December 2015!

    :D

    it's a perpetual calendar, but I some of the settings that would need to be set manually, I don't think the movement does them all
