72 clicks.

I don't for the life of me know why. 3 clicks per hour on the 24 hour scale.
2 clicks, 48 total would have made more sense. I live in a "1/2 hour" zone in east Asia, we're ahead of GMT +5 1/2 hours, PST by 12 1/2, so it would be great to have that 1/2 way click. It can be 20 or 40 minutes, but not 30... Works fine, I can set it 1 click to be 5 hours 20 minutes ahead of GMT and my big dumb brain can figure out it's supposed to be 5 and 30 minutes, but on a watch where everything else has been so thoughtfully engineered, it seems a peculiar oversight....

If you operate in normal "whole hour" timezones it's not an issue.
