Chronograph

Essentially a fancy word for a stopwatch, a chronograph is typically a multifunction sports watch with a stopwatch function, and usually two or three sub-dials used to measure elapsed times, up to 1/100th of a second. A standard chronograph has two pushers on the side of the case to start, stop and reset the central seconds hand.
