3. Synchronization of the countdown
with the official countdown
A preparatory signal is given by firing the
gun and hoisting another flag. If required,
the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master II’s
countdown can be synchronized with
the official countdown. This step is
necessary if the watch countdown has
been launched too early or too late in
relation to the official timing.
–Press the lower pusher briefly and firmly
at the sound of the gun to synchronize
the countdown. The countdown
seconds hand is reset on the fly and
runs again instantaneously as soon
as the pusher is released. At the same
time, the countdown minute hand
is automatically synchronized to the
nearest minute to compensate for
the countdown having been launched
too early or too late.
