    36 hour trip home from Nashville with an overnight stranding in DC. I'm knackered.

    A couple of late beers with the X-Lume is in order, I reckon.

    If you ever want to move that Tradition on, please, PM me. All of them are killer, but that one just slays me.

    You're 1 out of 3.
    1. The top register is an elapsed minutes counter but not retrograde. It runs forward from 0 to 30 not backwards from 30 to 0. If you look carefully the chrono minutes hand has three red pointers and rotates at 1.5 hours per cycle so that as one pointer is at 30 then another pointer is arriving at 0. Clear?

    2. The bottom register is elapsed hours

    3. There is a running second hand in the 9 o'clock subdial. Again it has three black pointers and spins at 1 rpm. As the pointers are not distinguishable, one does not know the exact time down to the second. This is useless for timer freaks like me. That's why I run the chrono continually to measure against atomic clock.

    Hope that helps. Of course Rick Denny has an excellent review of this watch which goes into these features at greater length. I blame him for my purchase of this!
