The hand in the white subdial doubles as the seconds

The hand in the white subdial doubles as the seconds hand for the regular time. But there is a little twist. By pressing the lower chronograph pusher while the chronograph is not operating, you can "turn on or off" or the seconds hand. Meaning it can tick for the seconds or just stay in the top pointing default position. I rather liked that function. Otherwise the chronograph functions as a normal 12 hour chronograph would. There are two other subdials, one for the hours and one for the minutes, and the larger red seconds hand is for the chronograph seconds. The movement also features a date window. You'll notice that the watch looks like an aviator style watch, but is a rowing watch. Frankly, I don't know what a "rowing watch" is meant to look like, so it is just fine with me that Cadence made the Oarsman in the mold of an aviator style watch. The hour markers display the minutes , which is common in come pilot style watches. The print on the dial is white and crisp against the black dial. While there is luminant on the hands of the watch, there is none on the dial itself. For a watch at this price point, the dial is painted nicely. I also like the hands of the watch. They have an excellent ability to standout - which made it easy to tell the time. I would have liked for the hands to be a bit longer though. Also, the hands are stamped from brass.
