REINITIALIZING THE CHRONOGRAPH HANDS (SUBDIALS) Following a battery change, an incorrect actuation, violent impact or exposure to a strong magnetic field, one or other of the chronograph counter hands may fail to revert to its original position (zero). To reinitialize the hands, proceed as follows.

[. . . ] Let's say the car covered one mile or one kilometer in 45 seconds. The tachymeter number next to the 45-second mark is 80 ­ so the car averaged 80 miles per hour, or 80 kilometers per hour, over that measured course. Start the stopwatch, count a convenient number of units and then stop the watch. Say, for example, that you are counting units of production and you stop the count at 10 units, and the sweep seconds hand reads 45 seconds. [. . . ]
