Hope you can help me out here; I just got my first Airman (base 22 with GMT hand) although it is not my first 24 hour watch. Anyway, I set the time and after a while I checked the time but it was completely off. So I set the time again thinking I made a mistake but again after a while it was off.
To ensure I wasn't going mental I got a regular quarz piece and set them both to 12 o'clock and let them run. Both are running exactly the same on a 2x 12 hour cycle. So after 5 hours the real time is 17:00 (shown by the quarz) but the Airman shows it is 10:00 because of its 24 hour dial.
Of course this isn't normal but what is going on here? Wrong movement? Regulation issue?
Please help!
