Start/stop/reset push-piece for the chronograph functions (H)
Pressing it once starts the timing indicated by the chronograph seconds hand
(F), the split-seconds hand (E) and after 60 seconds by the hand of the minute
counter (C). In the case of an ordinary chronograph measurement the two
central hands are perfectly superimposed. When the same push-piece (H) is
pressed a second time, all the hands are stopped, while pressing it a third time
returns all the chronograph hands to zero: the minute counter (C), the
chronograph seconds hand (F) and the split-seconds hand (E).
Split-seconds push-piece (I)
Pressing this while the chronograph function is running stops the
split-seconds hand (E), indicating the time elapsed up to that point.
Meanwhile the chronograph seconds hand (F) carries on moving, as do the
other total counters, continuing to measure the overall time. It is possible to
carry out successive intermediate measurements by pressing the push-piece
(I) a further time, so that the split-seconds hand (E) rejoins the chronograph
seconds hand (F).
Pressing the push-piece (I) once more measures a further intermediate time.
To complete the measurement of times, press the stop and reset push-piece
(H) to return the hands to their original position.
Minute counter (C)
Positioned at 3 o'clock, this subsidiary dial is the chronograph minute counter
with the jumping minute hand, which indicates the time elapsed in minutes
since the start of the chronograph measurement.
Central chronograph seconds hand (F)
This hand is at the centre of the watch, under the central split-seconds hand
(E). It measures the seconds elapsed since the start of the chronograph
measurement.

Central split-seconds hand (E)
Positioned in the centre, this is not activated during ordinary chronograph
measurements. It is brought into operation by pressing the split-seconds
push-piece (I).
IMPORTANT: Before pressing the push-piece (H) to operate the chronograph
seconds hand (F) and the split-seconds hand (E), press the push-piece (I) to
make the hands coincide so that the split-seconds hand is superimposed on
the chronograph seconds hand.
