What is a tachymeter?

A tachymeter is a watch equipped with a tachymeter – a function used to measure speed based on the passage of time over a fixed distance (1km or 1 mile). The calculation results of this mechanism are marked on the bezel of the watch face.

Tachymeter time function measures very accurately with moving object time from 7.2 seconds to 60 seconds.

Watches with this function are usually chronograph watches , on the outside of the watch case, there is an additional ring called ” tachometer rim “. On the face or bezel of the watch are printed or engraved with numbers like 60,70,300, 500,400 .. these are the average speed indicators in mph or km/h.

How to use a tachymeter

• First press the bottom button (3rd position) to reset the seconds hand to the 12 o’clock position.
• When the object starts to move, press the top button to run the chronograph hand and when you reach the finish line (1 mile or 1 km after the starting line) press the top button a second time and observe the position of the seconds hand.
• If the seconds hand points to the 3 o’clock position (according to the clock), the corresponding number on the bezel is 240, which means we have moved at an average speed of 240 miles or km/h.

Note : To calculate and measure faster or slower speeds, you must decrease or increase the unit of measurement (change to ½ km or 10 km ). However, you need to use a little basic math knowledge to accurately measure average speed.
