If you mean the red tipped hand, I don't think that is the seconds hand, but the 60 second counter for the chronograph. The seconds hand is in the small sub-dial at 6 o'clock, with the date crammed on top of it. The sub-dial at 3 o'clock is the chronograph 30 minute counter, and the sub-dial at 9 o'clock is the chronograph 12 hour counter. That is the same layout as my Montreal edition.
