if ive used the stop watch on my Chrono colt II ( Model A73380 ) it wont reset to Zero ( 12 o clock ) the Minute hand resets at 1 min after 12.00 & the second hand resets at 12 seconds ( after 12 oclock ) - can i reset this or do i have to see a repairer ?

Cheers

Time for Breitling to take a look at it I'm afraid.

Oh yeah, and welcome to BreitlingSource.

:welcome:

Well here's a turn up for the books, for once I can contradict Roff! :shock:


Simple fix, no need to go to the AD.

To adjust the 1/10th sec sub-dial, pull the crown fully out and press the lower pusher to move the hand around to zero.

To adjust the chrono seconds hand, pull the crown fully out and press the upper pusher to move the hand around to zero.

To adjust the chrono minutes hand, set the crown half way out and press the lower pusher to move the hand around to zero.

To adjust the 12 hour sub-dial, set the crown half way out and press the upper pusher to move the hand around to zero.

Graphic taken from a Chase-Durer manual which uses a similar ETA 251.262 movement.


Interesting idea to set the 12 hour dial to another time zone.
