The Watch Facts

I know its a quartz mass produced movement but hold on to your preconceptions and have a read.
ETA released the quartz 251.262 movement in 1988. It featured three counters at 2 oclock, 6 oclock and 10 oclock. But most importantly it featured 7 hands. On a normal watch you have 3 hands (hour, minute and second). On a normal three counter chronograph you have 6 hands.

So whats the 7th hand for?
This movement has been used in a whole range of watches from Omega and Breitling to Sector and Pryngeps. The price range varies from £100 to £2000. Some might say that there were modifications made to improve thermal compensation in the higher end watches but they all boil down to the same thing.
 When using a chronograph to measure something, be it speed or distance, the final reading is taken when the stop pusher goes down. You can quickly start the chronograph mechanism off again but time or distance will have passed and your overall conclusions will be reduced in accuracy.

This is where this quartz champion comes in to its stride. Its certainly not the first movement to do this but its so widely used its got to be good. When the chronograph starts its possible to interrupt and pause the timing with the reset button.
On a normal chronograph pushing the reset once started does nothing. It only snaps the second hand back once the chronograph has been stopped again. In this movement however once paused if you push the reset button again it snaps back to the time it would have been recorded if not interrupted.
