These chronograph models feature a minute
counter (up to 30), tenths-of-a-second counter which
becomes an hour counter after 30 minutes, and
small seconds hand subdials, and center-mounted
chronograph seconds hand; some have a Big Date
feature. They can be used to time an event up to
29 minutes and 59.9 seconds in duration to the
nearest 1/10 of a second; or up to 9 hours, 59
minutes and 59 seconds in duration to the nearest
full second.

To set the time:
1. Pull crown out to position 3; watch stops.
2. Turn crown in either direction until hands indicate
desired time.
3. Push crown back in to position 1; watch restarts.
To adjust the time to the exact second:
1. As soon as small seconds hand
S
reaches <<60>>
position, pull crown out to position 3; watch stops.
2. Turn crown to move hands and set time, making
sure date changes at midnight, not noon.

exact time, immediately push crown back in to
position 1; watch will restart, now set to the exact
time.
