Abstract
The present invention concerns a portable electronic timepiece including analogue display means. Preferably, the analogue display means include hour (9), minute (10) and second (11) hands and two concentric date display rings (15, 16) visible through a large aperture (14), said different display members being driven independently of each other. The electronic circuits (20) of the timepiece are arranged for keeping a golf score in a particular operating mode, called the golf mode. The use of current time display means for displaying information relating to golf play means that the timepiece is easy to read in golf mode. The electronic circuits are also arranged to allow the wearer of the timepiece to display, particularly, the scores of any hole already played at any time during the game, owing to intuitive manipulations of a single control member (8).
