REINITIALIZING THE CHRONOGRAPH HANDS (SUBDIALS)
Following a battery change, an incorrect actuation, violent impact
or exposure to a strong magnetic field, one or other of the chrono-
graph counter hands may fail to revert to its original position (zero).
To reinitialize the hands, proceed as follows.
CHRONO TYPE III
• Pull out the crown to position 3.
• Keep the pushers A and B depressed simultaneously
for at least 2 seconds (the center stop-second rotates
by 360 degrees). Corrective mode is activated.
Zero Reset of the Center Stop Second
• Single step: press pusher A briefly.
• Continuous: press and hold pusher A.
Adjusting next hand press pusher B.
Measurement of Intermediate (Split) Times
•
Press pusher A to start timing.
•
Press pusher B to read off the first split time without
interrupting the measurement of the total time.
•
Press pusher B to continue timing.
The chronograph has continued its measurement so that the
chronograph hands catch-up to allow for the elapsed time.
•
Press pusher B again to read the split time.
•
Repeat this procedure until the action to be timed has been
completed.
•
Then press pusher A to stop timing.
•
Once the timing operation has been completed,
press pusher B. The chronograph and totalizer
hands are now reset to zero.
