Instructions and Functions of Longines Chronograph Watches
A renowned Swiss watch brandLongines, with a century-long history of watchmaking, has always been synonymous with elegance. It enjoys high recognition in the Chinese watch market and is one of the most beloved Swiss watch brands among enthusiasts. Longines watches are not only traditional but also incorporate modern elements, and their chronograph models are favoured by many young, fashionable individuals. So, how do you use a Longines chronograph, and what are its functions? Let me introduce them to you.
How to use a Longines chronograph
1, of the three buttons on the right side of the case, the top and bottom ones are for manual timing. Press the top button to start or stop the timer, and press the bottom button to reset the hands to zero. First, press the top button to start timing; the central chronograph seconds hand (the longest and thinnest hand) and the hands on the two upper sub-dials will begin to move. The one on the left is for minute timing, so it will only start moving after 1 minute of timing has elapsed, advancing one mark per minute and resetting after 30 minutes. The 1/10 seconds sub-dial hand will remain stationary until the timer is stopped. When you press the top button again to stop the timer, the seconds and minutes hands will stop immediately, and the 1/10 seconds sub-dial hand will automatically point to a specific mark. If the seconds hand points to 10, the minutes hand points to 1, and the 1/10 seconds hand points to 6, then reading from left to right, the time is 1 minutes and 10 seconds and 6, which is 1’10”6. Press the bottom button again to reset all hands to zero.
2, the middle crown is used for adjusting the minutes and the date. Due to Tissot's airtight water-resistant design, you need to turn the crown anticlockwise to unscrew it before making adjustments. Once unscrewed, pull it outwards: the first position adjusts the date, and the second position adjusts the time. After setting, push the crown back in and screw it down clockwise to finish the adjustment.
Longines triple-dial watch functions
1, stopwatch. This acts as the second hand. Generally, this small subdial is located directly below the main dial. In this type of watch, the subdial serves as the second hand, while the large hand you might think is the second hand is actually the chronograph seconds hand. It should not be moving normally. If it is running, it consumes a significant amount of power.
2, twenty-four-hour indicator. This represents a 24-hour format. If it is currently 14 in the afternoon, the hand inside the subdial will point to 14.
3, calendar. There are 31 graduation marks, and the hand points to the current date.
4, day of the week. You should be able to read this directly.
5, month indicator. There are 12 graduation marks. You can easily figure it out.
6, chronograph minute subdial. Just as mentioned in 1, the main dial's hand is the chronograph seconds hand. When timing, this subdial acts as the chronograph minute counter.
7, chronograph hour subdial. Same as above, this serves as the chronograph hour counter.
