A chronograph combines two time-keeping functions.
It incorporates a device to measure intervals of time
independent of the regular time shown on the dial.
These ESQ Movado chronograph models feature a
minute counter (up to 30), hour counter, and small
seconds subdial; center-mounted chronograph seconds
hand; and date or Big Date window. They can be
used to time an event up to 12 hours in duration to the
nearest second.
