Seconds hand set at 12 o'clock or sweep?

Breitling Chronograph owners....

I just recently purchased my first automatic chronograph, a Hamilton Khaki with a Valjoux 7753 movement.

My question is this... For the longevity of the movement; should I (a) leave the second hand fixed at the 12 o'clock position or (b) set the second hand to sweep around.

I know that with quartz movement chronographs, setting the second hand at 12 will prolong the battery.

Thank you in advance for your insight!
