A power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock measures out the 100 hours (4 day) power reserve.  The hours and minutes are centrally displayed in a traditional manner.  30 minute counter at 10 o'clock and 60 second counter at 2 o'clock.  The "mono pusher rocker" operates the start, stop and reset of the chronograph.
