How do you set a tachymeter on a watch?
To use the Tachymeter function: 1) Unscrew the crown to normal winding position. 2) Pull out the crown when the second hand reach 60 of the Tachymeter. Scale and it will stop there. 3) Press the crown to normal winding posi- tion when you start to measure the speed.
Why does the second hand on my watch keep stopping?
When the hands are stopped completely, there is a possibility of the rechargeable battery being out of charge. If this occurs, please recharge it by a window by exposing it to sunlight for 5-6 hours before using it again. In case the watch is used before a sufficient recharging, it may stop again.
What is a tachymeter simple?
A tachymeter (pronounced /tæˈkɪmətər/) is a scale sometimes inscribed around the rim of an analog watch with a chronograph. A tachymeter is simply a means of converting elapsed time (in seconds per unit) to rate (in units per hour).
How do I find the tachymeter on my watch?
Find your watch’s tachymeter scale at the 6-, 7-, or 9-second mark. Most tachymeter scales start at the 7-second mark, which is 500 units of speed on the scale. Others start at 6 seconds and 600 units of speed or 9 seconds and 400 units of speed.
What is a tachymeter and how does it work?
Tachymeters can be used to measure the speed a watch’s wearer is traveling at over a specific period of time. Most tachymeters can make measurements over a period of anywhere from seven to 60 seconds.
Where are the tachymeter scales on a racing chronograph?
The majority of tachymeter scales are circumferential around the bezel or dial of a racing chronograph. This can either be on a fixed outer bezel (eg. Rolex Cosmograph Daytona) or a fixed inner bezel (e.g. the Heuer Carrera ref. 1158)).
What are the limitations of a fixed tachymeter?
A major limitation of the fixed tachymeter is that you can only measure over a single base distance. In the absence of rotating bezel tachymeters, race timers used to use sets of three stopwatches attached to multi-sequence timing boards.
