to the originally selected 5, 3 or 1 minute duration.
In the normal operation of the Yacht Race Timer, once
the countdown timer has reached zero, the chronograph
will automatically start. There is also an audible alert as
the countdown timer reaches each minute mark as well
as when the final minute reaches the last 5 seconds and
begins the chronograph function. The chronograph will
cycle through the 30-minute sequence twice, for a total
maximum time of one hour.
CHRONOGRAPH OPERATION
The watch provides a one hour chronograph which may
be operated independently from the Yacht Race Timer.
1. Press button C until the upper hand is at the beginning
of the 30-minute chronograph scale.
2. To start, press button A (START/STOP). The 4th center
hand displays the seconds counting up; the lower
hand shows the minutes, counting up in a 5-minute
scale and the upper hand shows the half hour count-
ing up in a 30-minute scale. Each time the lower hand
reaches the five minute mark, it will return to the zero
position while the upper hand will continue to advance
through the 30 minute scale. (Please note: button C is
disabled while the chronograph is in operation).
