Hi bezelnut,

No it is not the one you have posted.

I don't have the photo with me now. The one I am having is called Sekonda 3902. It is a black chronograph with rubber strap. If you google image, you will notice there are 3 chrono sub-dials being top, bottom and left. When you activate the chrono function, it is top sub-dial that will start ticking.

The large needle with red arrow acts as a constant sweeping second hand.

cheers.

Thank you very much for pointing it out.

I suppose this is the watch that you are talking about.


Yes, that exactly what I have in mind, all chrono function in subdial and free the large second hand. Just that I need to find one with mechanical movement. Technically, quartz's second hand don't sweep, they chop.

Yes all chrono functions operate in the sub-dials. The "usual chrono needle (the long one lol)" works as second hand for this watch - the long needle with red arrow.

This is a quartz watch - NOT automatic. I think I have mistaken for words used. I actually meant "chop/ or ticking once per second" when I said "sweep". Sorry for the confusion!

Update database list.

Chronoswiss Balance Chronograph
Symmetry dial, left retrograde is a 30 second sweep-hand, right retrograde is date. So despite not meeting the criteria of a large sweeping second hand on the cannon pinion, there is still plenty of movement on the watch.


Chronoswiss Wristmaster
Picture is self-explanatory, time & date on the left, chrono on the right. But frankly, should only be worn in sci-fi movie.
