ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present improvement of the present invention, in a multimode electronic timepiece, actuation of a first actuator while the timepiece is disposed in a "home" mode will cause to be displayed an alternate mode for a first predetermined period of time. If said first actuator is released prior to the elapse of said first predetermined period of time, the timepiece will be returned to said "home" mode. However, if the operator continues to actuate said first actuator beyond this first predetermined period of time, the program is adapted upon elapse of said first predetermined period of time, to immediately display on said timepiece display for a second predetermined period of time, a message indicating to the timepiece operator that continued actuation of said first actuator will cause the timepiece to be disposed into a predetermined alternate mode. If the operator releases said first actuator before the elapse of said second predetermined period of time, the timepiece will be returned to the "home" mode. Continued actuation of said first actuator beyond said second predetermined period of time, however, will cause the timepiece to be disposed in said predetermined alternate mode.
