How do I set my watch?

Factual Questions
1

I usually wear a different watch, so I’ve forgotten a couple of things about my mid-1980s Seiko Quartz Chronograph Sports 100. The stopwatch hand is sitting at 58 seconds. I know you can ‘step’ it, but Idon’t remember how. How do I get the stopwatch hand back to the 12 o’clock position? IIRC, it involves holding a button while pressing another.

Is it one of the models here?

I have a Hamilton chronograph. To step the stopwatch’s second hand, you pull the crown all the way out and push the top button (the one that also starts and stops the stopwatch). I don’t know if this is standard or not, but you might give it a shot.

A few years ago, my dad gave me his old Seiko but couldn’t find the instruction booklet. Seiko sent me one for free, all I had to do was provide the serial number.
Seiko’s website has manuals online now.

Hey, thanks everyone!

I’ll check out the links later. I spent 13 hours helping to build a set and setting up my lights yesterday, and am working on four hours’ sleep before heading off to actually do some shooting. I’ll look at the links when I’m a bit more awake/rested.

Thanks, Astro. That was exactly what I needed.
