Some with older watches with chronos will only reset the hands when they've just passed 12 to minimise the force being applied to them when resetting.
Saw on WUS. I did not know that chrono seconds hand jumps back and forth while you reset it.

I would suggest there is little or no damping on the movement, probably needed to ensure it sweeps smoothly. F=mXa all over again.

Just took a slow mo of the reset on my Speedmaster. The hand jumps back to the 11 marker.
