The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hey all -

I recently lost a 2002 Chronomat automatic. Luckily it was insured and I received a decent compensation check and ordered the new version. Quick question for those that are familiar:

Similar to my old watch the buttons on the opposite sides of the crown operate the chronomat timing mechanism. The top button starts and stops the timer, and the bottom button resets. However, on my old watch the reset button put all three mini-dials (second, minute, hour) back to zero or pointing upward. One my new watch, only the minute and hour dials are reset to zero while the second dial continues to rotate. Is this normal for the newer versions? Or should all the dials re-set?

Thanks for your help!!

The chronograph reset should set the hour and minute hands in the subdial and the central seconds hand. The subdial seconds hand is for running time and won't be reset.
