HE SECONDS RESET DEVICE
The little continuous seconds dial
(D)
is located at 3 o’clock. When the winding
crown
(B)
is pulled out to the second click
(position 2)
, the small seconds
hand immediately returns to zero. The seconds reset device is an extremely
accurate way of synchronising the watch with the reference time signal.
Note: As soon as the seconds reset is put in operation, the seconds hand is
returned to zero and the balance is stopped. If the winding crown is
accidentally pulled out to
position 2
, the resulting zeroing of the seconds
hand means that the time will have to be set again.

Left-Handed 8 Days Titanio enables the measurement in minutes and seconds
of the time taken for a body to move from one point to another. The single
push-piece chronograph differs from the others in that its use is simplified
thanks to a single push-piece fitted for the start, stop and reset functions.

is pressed a second time all the hands are stopped and pressing it a third time
returns all the chronograph hands to zero: the minute counter
(F)
and the
chronograph seconds hand
(E)
.
