The useful thing about the Omega is that when you are in a vehicle on a road with the kilometres marked by posts, you start the chronograph at one post and you stop it at the next post, based on the place where the chronograph has stopped (For example at nine o'clock, that would be 80 km/h) you've figured out the velocity of the vehicle.

Great explanation. I'm also new to all of this stuff regarding watches, I just bought a digital Casio on a whim the other day because it's very cold here in Sweden right now, and it's a bit bothersome to dig out my phone just to look a the time with gloves on and all that, so just moving up my jacket arm a little to see what time it is feels much easier and faster. Then I somehow found my way to a bunch of these videos, and now I feel like collecting more of them, even if I'll probably never own a several thousand dollar one.

So glad you done this video I haven't got a chronograph in my collection yet and I must admit it was partly because I wasn't sure of how they worked. After watching this video I've realised it really is pretty simple so now when I do eventually get some chronograph (Seiko Pogue and Omega Speedy) I will be able to time loads of random things and enjoy using all the watch has to offer.

@Cysubtor_8vb5 жыл бұрын
I have a few chronograph watches; a couple quartz movements (including a Seiko SSC017 solar chrono-diver), a Strela Russian mechanical chronograph and a couple meca-quartz movements that blend the two, therefore having the accuracy of quartz yet the smooth second hand and definitive mechanical click of the pushers. Oh, and I guess my new Fieldmaster has a digital chronograph, which is nice as well. Really, I rarely wear a watch that isn't either a diver or a chronograph and use the timing complication often. One other exception is my mechanical alarm pilot watch, which does show the benefits of a large, uncluttered dial, but also benefits from having an extra little hand for the alarm that can be used either passively as a time marker or as an alarm as intended. Kinda makes me interested in one of those Russian alarm, Flieger type B watches as I've always liked that dial, but rarely wear basic 3-hand watches.

I love how the Seiko resets as well. So satisfying to see. But I learned I probably wouldn’t want that one. Because it seems to take too long to start over. If I were to use it as a stopwatch I often would be timing things in quick succession and would need it to reset quickly. Hmmm watch fan drama. 😜

Very interesting, I doubt would ever buy one. It's not a love or hate thing at all, it's more me having a use for all those dials. I will never make fun of anyone who owns one. It's what interests you and what you have a use for. I'm pretty practical when I buy a watch. About the only complications I have a use for are: GMT as I travel frequently, and date. I love to admire other people's watches and see how they function.

This is something ive always wondered, is there a connection between the slide rules on watches like the Navitimer and Seiko flightmaster and the chrono function?
@KrisHandsome5 жыл бұрын
I'm not entirely sure, but I think the slide rule is the result of pilots wanting a chronograph and a sort of calculator for the functions they'd need. The slide rule can calculate conversions, for example mph to kph, and things that a pilot would need like fuel consumption. I don't think the chronograph is meant to work with the bezel, but they both have functions that'd be useful in a pilot watch.

I have a second counter and minute counter and like I said, they both reset to 55 instead of noon position. Does anyone know why or how to fix it??? Is it broke?
