Quartz chronographs
L538, L541
Add Rally function (partial times)
Used for measuring successive events but not the in-
tervals between them. Each result is automatically
added to the preceding one. To time the different stages
of a car rally, for example:
At the start of the first stage, press push-piece
A
to
start
the chronograph.
At the end of the first stage, press push-piece
A
again
and the chronograph will
stop
.
Repeat this procedure for each stage of the rally.
At the end of the final stage the chronograph will show
the total time of the rally, in other words, the accumu-
lated time for all the stages.
Press push-piece
B
to return to zero.
Split function (intermediate times)
This function is used to time one single event. Interme-
diate times are accumulated throughout the event.
IMPORTANT!
While the watch displays an intermediate time
the chronograph function will still be timing the event.
Press push-piece
A
at the start of the event you wish to
time, for example a walking race.
Press push-piece
B
to see the first intermediate time.
Press push-piece
B
again and the chronograph hands
will jump to the correct time since the start of the race.
Repeat this procedure, pressing push-piece
B
once to
see the second intermediate time and again to make the
chronograph hands jump to the current time.
IMPORTANT! Pressing on push-pieces A and B for more
than a second will cause the hands to move forward
rapidly.
