    The feature is called rattrapante (stop watch, then recover regular time).

    This horological feature can be part of a mechanical watch, but tends to drive the watch out of the "affordable" range.

    A rattrapante feature is trivial for a digital watch, yet it retains little of the allure and mystery of the mechanical feature.

    I see that the function of the "Pushers" are still To_Be_Deterimed. I hope one of them will be a "Stop Clock" function.  You know.... press the button and the time of day freezes so you can jot down the time of your sight. Press it again and the current and correct time resumes.

    BTW Do any of our inexpensive Casio/Timex watches have this function? "Stop Clock" not "Stop Watch."
