Quartz Chronographs

[thedoctor]

I just received a nice Breitling quartz chrono from Neil. The seconds hand for the chrono didn't reset to 0. It would reset to 58. I took it to my watchsmith who showed me how to align the seconds hand to zero by pulling out the crown and hitting the chrono start button repeatedly which advances the seconds hand to wherever you want it. He said something about how to align the minute hand totalizer but I wasn't paying too much attention. Does anyone know how to align it. Right now after screwing with the watch it's pointing at 20.

Pull out the crown so the watch stops. Then push the upper button, keep pushing it in until second hand returns to 12. That's all there is to it.

I got that part. The part I don't get is how to get the minute totalizer to get back to zero. Thanks for the quick post by the way.

Cool, I just tried it on my Baxx & Bloom quartz chrono (a Breitling knock-off) and now the second hand resets to 12 o'clock. Thanks.
