A multimode electronic timepiece has a display, a group plurality of manually actuated switches, and an integrated circuit programmed to keep time and to provide several operating modes including time-of-day mode. The integrated circuit is programmed to permit an operator to sequentially shift the current mode of operation from one mode to the next by selectively and repetitively actuating a first switch. The improved timepiece includes an alternate mode selection when a second switch is temporarily depressed to display the operating condition of a mode other than the current mode. The display returns to the current mode when the second switch is no longer actuated.
