I just had the battery replaced in my B1. When I returned home I noticed the second hand is exactly 30 seconds off from the digital display. Also in Chronograph mode, the second hand zeros itselft at the bottom on the 30 second mark instead of the top. Can anyone enlighten me on how to remedy this?

Synching the hands with the digital display is achieved by blanking both screens and then pulling and twisting the crown.

Can't remember what the setting is to reset the chrono to zero, but someone with a B1 or Airwolf (same movement) will tell you if it's not in your manual.

Like Roff said, for syncing the analog and digital displays turn the crown to “neutral” – digital displays go blank. Pull out the crown. Press the 4:00 pusher briefly and hours, minutes, and seconds will flash in order. So you want to push it once and hours will flash, then a second time to get minutes to flash, then 3rd time to get seconds to flash. Then just rotate the crown clockwise until the analog and digital seconds are in sync. Push the crown back in. Then go to the time set mode and set the time.

I’m not a gambling man, but if I were I put significant jack on the proposition that once you do that, the second hand will set at 12 when you switch to Chrono mode. All you need to do is the sync operation described above and the digital and analog will remain in sync throughout functions.

Anytime the battery dies or is changed you need to re-sync the analog and digital time. And probably set month, day, year.

Thanks, that did it, and it reset the chrono too.
