USER MANUAL Leopard 24 Raketa
▶ Russian watch/shift system (1)
The crew on Russian ships & submarines is traditionally divided into 2 teams working in 4-hour watches/shifts. The red & grey lines that divide the perimeter of the dial into 6 quarters, allow the crew to keep count of their watches/-shifts.

Север (North) 2 Юр (South)▶ Solar Compass (2)
All 24 hour watches can be used as a solar compass. To do so, simply point the hour hand towards the sun: the "0" on the dial will then be pointing towards the North, "12" towards the South, "6" towards the East and "18" towards the West.
If you are in a country which switched to daylight saving time (i.e. +1 hour from standard time during summer months), you have to imagine that all the cardinal marks are move "backwards" by 1 hour.
ex: the South will be at "11" instead of "12".
If you are in the Southern hemisphere, please invert all the cardinal marks;
ex: South will be at "0" instead of "12".
