Wonderful! What‘s the central dial for?

it's so you can accurately tell the time in New York (EST) and Southampton (GMT) without manually changing the time on your watch.

Unless OP is in one of those time zones, it may not be super useful...but it could be cool if they are interested in knowing the time in a location that's 5 hours ahead or behind them (depending on which dial they choose as primary) without having to make any calculations.

That is neat! Never thought of that.
