Setting the countdown
Each time you press B, the length of the countdown will decrease by one minute (10, 9, 8, …, 1).
The minute hand, and the hour hand underneath it, move together.
Using the countdown
To start the countdown, press A. The seconds hand rotates anti-clockwise and the minute hand and
hour hand move in the same direction.
Note:
You can stop the countdown at any time and return to the setting phase by pressing B for
two seconds or more.
You can synchronize the hands with the race starter’s signals. Press A and the countdown is
synchronized at the closest minute: to + /– 30 seconds. When only 30 seconds of the countdown
remain it is no longer possible to synchronize.
When the countdown reaches zero the chronograph funtion starts automatically. The left counter
indicates CHRONO and you are now in CHRONO mode. For information, refer to the earlier section:
CHRONO mode.
Note:
Whenever you wish, you can display the real time without stopping the countdown: briefly
press the crown once. Pushbuttons A and B have no function. Briefly press the crown again to bring
back REGATTA mode (the countdown continues as if nothing has happened).

Before starting to reset the chronograph hands, make sure you are in TIME mode.
