I don't think that there's any way to do it via the pushers..... popping the hand off and putting it back on straight should be a quick and easy (and thus cheap) job at any competent watchmaker. You may however find that the torque from that movement is enough to cause misalignment again after using the chrono function.

 

Hmmm, I have another similar watch and the chronograph hand lines up appropriately and resets appropriately. Would popping the hand off and placing it on correctly not fix it once and for all if there is no way to use the pushers and crown in some combination?

 

If it's only slightly off, I would try not to worry about it. From what I have heard, once removed, a new chrono second hand has to be installed with this movement.

Yes, they are PITA to reset from what I have heard from watchmakers. I have 5 mecaquartz and 3 of them developed severe misalignment after a while. Now I stay away from this movement even if I like the watch.

 

Ahhh, gotcha. In that case it would be send back to the BOLDR/manufacturer or live with it. Shame the QI failed me. I'll probably stay away from them in the future in that case.

 

In some quartz models you can adjust the new starting point for the center chrono hand by pulling the crown out to the second position (like you're about to set the time) and using the chrono pushers to advance the hand in 1 second increments. But if your watch is misaligned by less than that one second increment, it might need to be sent out. Best of luck to you!

 

Given that it looks like this may happen again if you have it adjusted it might be worth you while seeing if you can live with it.

 

You may try to align the seconds hand using the reset mechanism. When the chronograph seconds hand is in the 0-30 seconds range, hitting the reset button will move the seconds hand back to zero using a counter-clockwise motion (this will happen in a clockwise motion if in the 30-60 seconds range). Since you have a positive misalignment (you need to move from +0.5 seconds to 0), you can try running the chronograph up to 30 seconds and then hit the reset button. Hopefully, after a few tries this will generate enough torque to move the chronograph seconds hand to the proper zero position.

 

Thanks It works! On my duxot chrono meca quartz

 

This movement uses a mechanical hammer to reset the chrono hands. There's no way to calibrate that electronically. You'd have to pull the hand and set it again.

 

Misaligned chrono hand is common issue with either mechanical or mecaquartz mouvement, if the misalignment is not too serious you should learn to live with it until the next service.

Otherwise buy another Seiko chronograph with movement like the 7t92, it's 100% electronic so you can reset all the hand on the fly.
