ENGLISH
A first press on pusher [K] stops the
split-second hand.
A second press on pusher [K] brings
the split-second hand back in line with the
chronograph hand.
These operations may be performed as
often as required.
Flyback function
The flyback function serves to instantly
start a new timing operation even when
the chronograph is already in operation. All
one need do is press the reset pusher [N]
without needing to first stop the hands
using the first pusher [M].
THE DIAGRAM OF YOUR WATCH APPEARS
ON PAGE 20.
Countdown function
Some models are equipped with a
10-minute countdown display distinguish-
ing the first minutes (blue zone) from the
five following ones (red zone). This original
display thereby serves to help the owner
keep track of the imminent start of a race.
The countdown function is indissociable
from that of the chronograph function.
They are simultan eously activated.
GMT
The GMT* function indicates the time in a
second time zone by means of the 24-hour
hand [I] and the graduated numerals on
the bezel or on the dial, depending on the
model. Pull the crown out to position 2.
Turn it counter- clockwise and place the
24-hour hand [I] on the desired time zone.
Then push the crown back in to position 1.
* GMT = Greenwich Mean Time. In 1913, it was
agreed that world time would correspond to local
time at zero degrees' longitude, according to the
reference meridian running through Greenwich
Observatory near London.
Tachometric scale
To measure the average speed of travel
over one kilometre, take a point of refer-
ence, such as a milestone, and start the
chronograph by pressing pusher [M]. Stop
the chronograph by pressing pusher [M]
when you pass the next milestone. You
can then refer to the figure to which the
hand is pointing on the tachometer scale
[L] appearing on the bezel or on the dial,
depending on the model.
Pulsometer
To measure your heart rate, press pusher
[M]. Count the number of heartbeats, and
when you reach 30, press pusher [M]
again. You can then refer to the figure on
the pulso meter scale [P] to which the hand
is pointing, in order to read off the number
of beats per minute.
