Does the M1 seconds sub-dial tick in one second intervals? 1/4? 1/5? Just wondered if it has any sort of sweep look to it.

Same question for the chrono when it's running...???

TIA!

Both the small and chrono second hands move in one-second increments. The chrono minute hand moves in one-minute increments. The main minute hand however, moves in 1/4 of a minute increments, I think.

And any surviving Beta 21 driven Swiss watch, some Citizen OXYs or original Dynabeat Timex quartz. A lot of quartz chronos have sweeping chronos, most notably the ISA 6161 driven watches

Thanks fellas...yeah, my Seiko Flightmaster and Yema Sous Marine chrono's both have 1/5 second sweeping seconds, but the second's sub-dials are one second ticks. Both have the same Seiko movement tho.
