Zenith El Premiro OG

Hello,

Recently I got my first Zenith El Premiro OG Chronometer A386, the watch is 7 old dated from warranty card. The watch is really nice and fit my small wrist very well. However, I noticed that sometimes, the chrono 1/10 hand bounce backward like half or 1 minute mark. It does not happen all the time but randomly.

Is it normal for Chronograph watch or to Zenith's movement?

Thanks

Congratulations! Regarding the chrono hand bouncing backward occasionally, it's not uncommon for chronograph watches to exhibit this behavior. Sometimes it can happen due to the intricate nature of the chronograph mechanism. However, if it's happening too frequently or significantly, it might be worth having it checked by a watchmaker to ensure everything is functioning as it should.
