Its hands — driven by five independent motors — move in variegated patterns that suggest dynamic movement. The chronograph dials include a small hand for minutes and seconds at the 8-o’clock position, a second hand in the center position that also displays values of 1/10 of a second, and a small hand at the 3-o’clock position that displays values of 1/100 of a second immediately when the user stops the chronograph.

The EQS-500 is equipped with a world time function that displays the current time in 29 cities, viewable by matching the center second hand with city codes in the dial ring, as well as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
