The pusher by the 2 o'clock marker is for altering the second hand.
Push it in and hold it in and you stop the watch. You can release it and start the watch again when the real time catches up with the watch.
Press the button in and out rapidly and this makes the second hand jump round quickly, enabling you to catch up with the real time.
As Steve says, you can use it to alter the minute hand, but only by either of the above two means. So if, say, your watch is two minutes ahead of the real time, you need to hold the button in for two minutes. A bit of strain! and imagine what you have to do if your watch is 30 minutes ahead of real time!
In such a case, a simpler method is to open the case back and disconnect the battery, re-connecting it when the watch and the real time coincide.
The hour hand is adjusted by pulling out the crown and turning it clockwise or anti-clockwise. It is a useful function because it makes altering the watch in the Spring or Fall very simple. I went to Turkey last March to see the total eclipse of the sun and altered the hour in this way to cope with the different time there.
I have the same watch as you. Mine is gold-plated and I like it because it is so slim and because it weighs so little.
