It is the result of thermo-compensation operating principle, which controls and regulates the motor pulses depending on the ambient temperature. Moisture, however; has no impact upon the technology. The former one, however; is the technology that drives the hands, offering greater precision and resolution than the older methods, making it possible to count the stopwatch seconds to their fractions.
