Although the watch has two oval push buttons, it is only the top one at 2 o’clock which works for start/stop and zero setting of the chronograph. The lower button locks the chronograph function. Still, this rare variant of a "single pusher" chronograph sits in a beautiful gold case in a modern, comfortable size and the dial has achieved a charming patina over the years, which makes this timepiece a very desirable vintage classic.
