How to set an Invicta Chronograph back to zero?
Images from an Invicta instruction manual (page 23)
Sometimes a chronograph watch can get out of whack and it forgets how to return the second hand back to zero correctly. Luckily on a quartz watch, it’s a quick fix if you can find the right sequence. Here are the instructions for getting the second hand back to zero on Invicta watches. While we cannot guarantee that this process will work for every Invicta chronograph, it will work for most. Just remember, this isn’t a big deal and it can happen out of the blue.

I am glad I found this site as I was searching how to do this on my Tourneau watch.
It’s the 2nd time I encounter this, the first time I also needed the battery replaced so I had it taken care of at Tourneau and I didn’t bother to ask how to do this on my own.
Thank you.PS: Any clue as to what could be the cause of this?

Okay… I have an Invicta model 6194. Hour and Minute hands work. Second hand is in the top right sub dial and is working. The Bottom sub dial is the day of the week and is also working. My problem is that the top left sub dial seems to be an “on/of” indicator for the alarm which is activated by the “A” button. Has “on” and “off” at the top of the sub dial. The bottom of that sub dial has the writing “Power reserve” with a kind of scale from 0 to 100% The “A” button normally starts the chrono hand. I CANT GET THE CHRONO HAND TO SWEEP. I can adjust it by useing the buttons but Ithink the “mode” is stuck in the alarm function.

I have a ladies mod 5300 the unit does not zero. the second hand always goes to the #1 position and the dial at the 9 Oclock position always goes to the 17sec position. I have tried the reset proceedure but always the same results. First off the second hand does not go into the mode stated when both buttons are pressed for 2 seconds or even longer . that hand just counts as if just the A button was pressed and the short or the long press does nothing helpful as I can see Have I gone and messed up something? I just can’t rezero following the directions.

Hello, First off, thank you for this article. I’ve tried the steps above but not getting lucky. Basically whenever daylight savings switched I went to change the time. This being my only actual chronograph watch I think I did something to make it get out of whack without knowing what I’m doing
. I have an Invicta 4578 model. The big second hand is stuck at minute #1 and when the crown is pressed into position zero the 3h 0-60 counter runs but the big second hand is stuck. Upon trying to reset to zero with the directions provided I noticed the center stop doesn’t rotate 360 when in crown position 2 and pressing A &B for 2 seconds. It (6h) only does anything in position zero and continuously rotates when I press B once in position 0. Sorry if this is confusing. Is there anything in particular you may know about this model? Initially adjusting the time I was just messing with it without instructions, go figure 
Thanks in advance for reading. -

Hi – I have an Invicta Corduba 4906 and I noticed that the stopwatch is no longer working. It is stuck on/around 20 seconds. When I push button A and then button B it “shakes” a bit like it is trying to reset, but doesn’t move otherwise. Is it possible that I need a battery replacement? Is there anything I else I should try? By the way, it seems to be keeping time and the small seconds hand is working (the bottom part of the figure 8). Thank you in advance for any/all help…
