What is a chronograph watch?
A chronograph is a watch with a built-in stopwatch. Two pushers start, stop, and reset a central seconds hand, while small sub-dials count elapsed minutes and hours. Invented for timing horse races in 1816, later adopted by pilots, race drivers, and divers.
How do I use the chronograph function?
Press the top pusher (2 o'clock) to start. Press again to stop. Press the bottom pusher (4 o'clock) to reset to zero. The sub-dial at 6 o'clock counts elapsed minutes up to 30; the sub-dial at 10 o'clock counts elapsed hours up to 12. The sub-dial at 2 o'clock is a constant-running seconds for the main time.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a mechanical or quartz chronograph?
Quartz. Mechanical chronographs typically start at about $2,000 for Swiss examples. Quartz chronographs are more accurate, easier to service, and require no regular winding — the practical choice at this price.
What's the difference between the 2 o'clock sub-dial and the big seconds hand?
The sub-dial at 2 o'clock is the constant-running "small seconds" for the main time. The large central seconds hand is the chronograph seconds — it only runs when you start the stopwatch.
Can I use the chronograph underwater?
No. 3 ATM water resistance is not rated for submersion. Never press the pushers underwater — this can compromise the case seals.
How accurate is this watch?
Typically within -10 to +20 seconds per month — far more accurate than any mechanical watch. Quartz accuracy is an honest trade-off for reliability and price.
Can I replace the battery myself?
We recommend a watchmaker. Chronograph movements have more components, and opening the case incorrectly can compromise water resistance. Battery replacement typically costs $10–$20 at a local jeweller.
