I recently received a chronomat evolution, which looks great. I followed the user hand book for winding and setting the date time. Recently I stopped wearing it for about 3 days and it stopped. I have reset the date and time and turned a further 40 winds. Is this normal? Is the minute hand meant to be in continuous motion ie using the chronograph? or is it meant to be set at 0000 until required. I am not sure if the chronograph is what requires the 40 winds as as I left it running is gradulally unwound itself? Its appears to work whether the minute hand is in use or not. Any advice appreciated.
