L440 Quartz chronographs
Split FUNCTION (intermediate times)
This function is used to time one single event. Intermediate times are
accumulated throughout the event.
IMPORTANT! While the watch displays an intermediate time the
chronograph function will still be timing the event.
• Press push-piece A at the start of the event you wish to time,
for example a ski race.
• Press push-piece B to see the rst intermediate time; the
60-second, 30-minute and 12-hour counter hands will stop,
and the 1/100th of a second counter hand will move to the
measured one hundredth.
• Press push-piece B again and the chronograph hands will jump
to the correct time since the start of the race.
To see the second intermediate time, repeat the procedure.
• Press push-piece B once to see the second intermediate
time measured to 1/100th of a second, and again to make the
chronograph hands jump to the current time.
• At the end of the race, press push-piece A to see the total
time for the race.
• Press push-piece B to return to zero.
NB: The split function / intermediate times can also be used to record
consecutively the times of various competitors as they nish a race.
Resetting the chronograph hands
If for any reason the chronograph hands do not return exactly to zero,
take the following action:
• Unscrew the crown if necessary.
• Pull the crown out to the intermediate position 2; the 4 CHRONO
counter hands, 1/100th of a SECOND and 60-SECOND in the
centre, 30-MINUTE at 2 o'clock and 12-HOUR at 10 o'clock, will
return to their start point, normally the midday position.
If the watch was in RESET status, the hands are already zeroed. If
there is a timing operation in progress, the hands will return to their
start point. Then they will all complete one quick circle of the dial.
Pressing push-piece A will move the selected hand to indicate which
hand will be moved by pressing push-piece B.
Each successive press on A selects the next hand.
A short press on push-piece B will move the selected counter one
step clockwise.
Holding push-piece B for more than one second will move the hand
in quick continuous rotation.
