Different Types Of Chronograph Watches You Must Know About

Posted by COEN ANDERS on August 21st, 2019

Watch is one of the trendiest accessories that any man or woman can own. They are not only great for formal settings but also for parties and other informal events. Slowly, the watches evolved and a new wave caught the people which are popularly known as chronograph watch. The sub-dials inside a big one make a must-have piece for not only watch enthusiasts but for anyone in general. It is quite easy to learn how to use chronograph watch only after you know what kind of chronograph your watch supports. Confused? The chronograph is not just limited to one style but many and in this article, we will learn what are these different types.

Mono-Pusher Chronographs

Mono-Pusher, or single push, chronograph, as the name explains features one pusher, typically found as an extra button on top of the crown. This one pusher starts, stops and resets the chronograph. When you measure wrist for watch and buy a mono-pusher chronograph watch, you will notice that it supports a clean design since the pusher extends from the crown. In such watches, there will be two sub-dials, one will count minutes and the other one will run the seconds.

Rattrapante Chronographs

Rattrapante means “to catch up” in French and it is a particularly complex chronograph design to create. In this, instead of one, two central second hands are featured. Just like most of the chronograph design, rattrapante chronographs also support two pushers in addition to the crown. But it also has an additional pusher positioned at 10 o’clock. In some watches, the extra pusher is built into the crown like in mono-pusher. You might find it a little hard to learn how to use a chronograph in this particular watch.

When you use the chronograph in this watch, both seconds hands start tracking together. When the extra pusher is pressed, the lower seconds hand stops. If you will press the same extra pusher again, the stopped hand will start running again, catching up with the other one that is already working. With this type of watch, you can record multiple times that start together but doesn’t end together.

Flyback Chronographs

Want to time consecutive events with one watch that you purchased after determining the watch size for wrist? For this particular purpose, flyback chronographs will come in handy. In this, there are two pushers positioned at 2 o’clock and 4 ‘clock. The pusher that you see at 2 o’clock will start and stop the chronograph. What makes this particular chronograph different from the others is that you can reset the sub-dials without stopping. You can further press the pusher at 4 o’clock while the chronograph is working to stop, reset and start again.
