Timing mode
Simple function
In this function, with the crown in position 1, push-piece A is used to
switch the chronograph status between START and STOP.
After START is pressed, the counter hands will show the measured
time. The 60-SECOND and SPLIT-SECONDS counters run simultane-
ously, indicating the measured time in seconds.
After STOP has been pressed, the 60-SECOND, SPLIT-SECONDS and
30-MINUTE counter hands will stop running. The 1/10th of a SECOND
counter hand displays the value in tenths of a second as it runs.
To measure another time, press push-piece B to return the counters
to zero (RESET). All the hands will quickly return clockwise to the start
point, and the chronograph will go back to watch mode.
