ABSTRACT:
A multimode electronic timepiece includes a display, a plurality of manually actuated switches, and an integrated circuit having memory locations. The integrated circuit is programmed to keep time and to provide a plurality of modes, including time-of-day and at least one alternate time zone. The integrated circuit is further programmed to permit an operator of the multimode electronic timepiece to set the time-of-day and the alternate time zone in response to actuation of selected switches, and to store the time-of-day and the alternate time zone data in the memory locations. The improvement comprises a flag means which will copy the contents of the memory location storing the time-of-day data to the memory location for the alternate time zone data when the time-of-day has been set and the alternate time zone has not been set by the operator.
