Literature For another single-button chronograph with enamel dial , please see I Cronografi da Polso Prezuise Memorie del XX Secolo Volume I by Paul White , page 25 .
The present watch has a very interesting feature ; the two chronograph buttons in the band deceive the observer to think this is only a regular chronograph wristwatch , however , it is actually a single-button chronograph . The pusher at 2 o ’ clock is used for the start-stop-reset cycle . The pusher at 4 o ’ clock is in effect a slide that , when activated , stops the chronograph in its track .
