CHRONOGRAPH FUNCTION WITH SPLIT SECONDS
The split-seconds function allows separate times to be recorded while the
chronograph is running.
1. Start the chronograph by pressing the crown
A
.
2. To record a split time press pusher
B
. The split-seconds hand
E
will then stop,
indicating the split time, while the chronograph continues to run.
NB: The split time should be read immediately, as the chronograph counters for
the minutes F and seconds D continue to measure the elapsed time.
When the chonrograph is running, the split-seconds hand
E
should be restarted
shortly after the split time has been recorded, to avoid the movement rate being
affected.
3. Press pusher
B
for the split-seconds hand
E
to catch up with the chronograph
seconds hand
D
.
4. To record a new split time, start again from step 2 above.
5. Press the crown
A
to stop the chronograph.
6. Press the crown
A
again to reset.
NB: When the split-second function is used repeatedly i.e. during professional
timekeeping activities, OMEGA recommends blocking the crown by rotating
the safety lock wheel G; the pusher B can then be used to activate the split-
seconds functions. This action prevents the chronograph function being stopped
accidentally.
