I got a new chronograph watch. but the instructional book is not more precised...I do not know how everything works or what are they for?
Probably your watch has a screwdown crown and prior to attempt any
settings you have to unscrew it. Some peoples fingers are stronger then
others, so, try that with a pair of plyers. Cover your crown with a
soft cloth and then grip with plyers(this will avoid any damage).
Thread is right handed and unscrewing is done by turning the crown
anticlockwise.
After setting the time don't forget to screw the crown back- it is for water resistance.
If you are unable to unscrew the crown, that means your watch is rusty and you will need watchmakers help.
PS
If the watch is rusty, you can brake the crown off while trying to
unscrew it. Don't panic yet, as in this case you will need a watchmaker
anyway.
Don't forget to rate, please.
The top button is for chronograph function and puts the chronograph
seconds hand in motion. The bottom button is for resetting chronograph
seconds hand to zero.
Do as follows:
1) push the top button once- seconds hand starts moving,
2) push the top button once more- seconds hand stops,
3) push the bottom button once- seconds hand returns to zero.
You can repeat as many times as you like- seconds hand will allways start the countdown from zero.
Depending on what movement your watch has(mechanical or quartz), there can be more variations, but the basics are as described.
If you need more info, supply full info of your watch(make, model, numbers, etc.), please.
Do not forget to rate, please.
The subdials (small ones) have very many variations, but usually they counting hours and tenths or huderedths of a second alongside with chronometer.
If more info is needed, submit full specs of your watch(brand, model, all the numbers, etc.,)
Hope all yhis helps to get familiar with your watch.
