This is a single-pusher chronograph equipped with the first chronograph calibre ever, the 13.33Z developed in 1913. The crown is used for winding the watch and served as a pusher for the chronograph. Time can be set by pulling out the crown, which was not possible with the earlier single-pusher chronographs, calibre 13.33Z.
