I need some help!! I just bought a watch with a "GMT hand", "24 hour hand" whatever you call it...
But I can't figure out how it works!! There's a dial displaying a lot of cities, for example: London, Paris, Cairo, Moscow, Dubai etc. (Yes in that order) The 24 hour hand is moving twice as slow as the hour hand and there's also a funktion, so I can turn the city-dial... But I still can't figure it out! Here's a picture:

Italomagic, you are correct. Since all Ananta Spring Drive watches are rated to 100m or 10 bar water resist, none of them have screw down crowns. The movement can always be manually wind up without having to unscrew the crown from its stem.
I also previously owned the Ananta Automatic Chronograph SRQ003 caliber 8R28, and that one too, did not have a screw down crown.
The Grand Seiko version of the Spring Drive GMT chronograph watch does not have a screw down crown either but the pushers do.
Another great feature of the Seiko Spring Drive Chronograph that many people do not realise is that you can actually manually wind the crown without having to pull it out. It is so convenient and saves on wear and tear on the crown. No other chronograph that I know of can do this. Please someone correct me here if I am wrong.
There are quite a few chronographs that you can do this on, i'll name a few that i've had experience selling over the past few years that have this feature:
