Re: Question about Seamaster Pro Chronometer

In Response To: Question about Seamaster Pro Chronometer ()

i think you are talking about the chronograph (vs the chronometer, which both automatics are).

in short, the big hand moves when the chronograph (timer/stopwatch) is running. you can have it running all the time if you like, but it indicates time for the chronograph, not actual time. that's what the smaller one is for.

: Hello. I currently own a Seamaster Pro quartz,
: but am keen to purchase the automatic
: chronometer version (2598.80).

: I've never used a watch with these features
: before - please excuse my ignorance - but
: can the second hand be set to constantly
: "sweep" on this model? Normally,
: when I've seen the watch on display, one of
: the smaller chronometer dials is ticking,
: not the second hand.

: Thanks in advance :-)
