An electronic watch may be provided having functionality for space exploration and/or surface exploration on a terrestrial planet. The watch may comprise a time displaying means and a processor subsystem. The processor subsystem may be configured to maintain a coordinated planetary time of a terrestrial planet, obtain longitudinal data representing a longitude of interest on the terrestrial planet which is different from the planet's prime meridian, determine a local true solar time, LTST, at the longitude of interest as a function of the coordinated planetary time and using an equation of time which accounts for orbital eccentricity and rotational axis tilt of the terrestrial planet, and to control the time displaying means of the electronic watch to display the LTST.
