What to Know About Chronograph Watches

How it works: A chronograph has a start/stop pusher (usually at 2 o'clock) and a reset pusher (at 4 o'clock). Sub-dials track elapsed seconds, minutes, and sometimes hours separately from the running time display.

Automatic vs quartz: Automatic chronographs are mechanically complex and prized by collectors. Quartz and solar chronographs are more accurate for actual timing use and require less maintenance.

Tachymeter: A scale on the bezel or dial that calculates speed over a measured distance. Common on sport chronographs.
