I know what you mean about classic watches. I used to stress over expensive Swiss stuff until I learned about the engine inside. Most affordable autos run on a Seiko NH35. It’s like the Honda Civic of watch movements. Reliable, easy to fix, and any watchmaker can work on it. My daily beater has one. Keeps decent time, and I don’t baby it. If it breaks, replacing the whole movement is cheaper than servicing a Swiss chronograph. For everyday wear, you can’t beat it. Saves a ton of headache and cash. Honestly, I’d take a solid case with an NH35 over a finicky vintage piece any day. Way more practical.
Press both the buttons simultaneously and release – the second hand should perform a short (roughly 10 second) sweep. Press the top button to adjust the large second hand, use the lower button to adjust the the small chronograph dial. Once both are in the desired position, press both buttons once more to set (the second hand will perform a short sweep again). Start and stop the chronograph by pressing the top button twice, and finally press the lower button to reset. The hands should now return to the positions you set.
Thanks, that information helped me reset the Chronograph on my Omega watch. I’m a fan of watches, I have many of them. But the classic ones are the best, in my opinion. Yeah, smartwatches can be very useful and have a lot more configurations and options, but you can’t compare it to the classic view of a good old watch. I try to find places or shops where omega prices are affordable, because let’s be honest, it’s hard to buy a good watch when you don’t really have money. Even used ones can still work if they were kept in a good condition. That’s why it doesn’t matter to me how old it is. The important thing for them is to work.
