Notes
This watch is equipped with two chronograph mechanisms, each
working on its own column-wheel and therefore having independent
functions. Thanks to their respective control buttons, each of them can
be activated independently of the other; the two chronographs perform
the “start” / “stop” / “return to zero” functions and each drives its own
30-minute counter (these are with instantaneous jumps).
