Italian term or phrase: scatto
This is from the description of a chronometer watch.


Il movimento è di tipo radiale, grazie a un elemento ad anello in metallo che migliora sensibilmente la precisione dello **scatto**, oltre a garantire una maggiore resistenza all’usura e alle alte temperature.

La cassa è completata dalla lunetta satinata e unidirezionale (a **scatti** di un minuto), che ha il profilo zigrinato per agevolarne la presa e reca sul bordo superiore indici di riferimento applicati e la scala graduata degli primi 15 minuti; in evidenza gli indici relativi ai minuti 15, 30 e 45.

I'm stuck here. Can anybody help?
