The chronograph

As you use this manual to learn about your Watch, the word
chronograph can potentially cause some confusion. Try to
remember this: a chronograph is a tool for measuring time.
So, you will notice a Chronograph Mode, but Vertical and Finish
Modes also operate from the chronograph. Any time your Watch
functions as a timing tool, it operates using chronograph (or timing)
functionality.
