Abstract
An electronic timepiece including circuitry for automatically indexing the time counted thereby to represent the time at a different time zone, and a digital display that displays the particular time zone to which the time displayed by the timepiece has been indexed to, is provided. The indexing of the time displayed by the timepiece, is obtained by indexing circuitry disposed intermediate the hours counter of an electronic timepiece and the display driving circuitry. The indexing circuitry is adapted to selectively index the count of the time-keeping signals produced by the hours counter and thereby index the count of the timekeeping signal produced by the hours counter to a different time zone in response to each indexing thereof. In addition to display digits for numerically displaying time, further visual display segments are provided for indicating the particular time zone to which the numerical display has been indexed to.
