Greetings all, hope someone can help me out, just picked up an A53040.1 Colt Chrono Transocean and this model from 1998 has a 10 minite regata count down timer, which moves the red hand to the 10-12 o'clock position for timer. Here's the problem, instruction book says press A button to start chrono, which it does just fine, also gives the same instruction to start the regatta timer, which when pressing the A button, starts the chrono. Is there something I'm missing to start the countdown timer? Thank's in advance! :lingsrock:

Thank's Sharkmouth, are you saying I need to manually set the red hand to the 10 o'clock position for this to work? By the by, did visit your website, very informative! Have you heard anything about a "B" being etched on the edge of the bezel at the 57 second mark?

Yes, crown to position 2 and press the lower pusher until it moves round to 50.
