AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Commodore 7 Jewels Regatta Timer is a mechanical stopwatch specially designed for the start of sailing races.
In contrast to a ordinary stopwatch, this instrument is intended to count down to the regatta start gun.
Key features
7 Jewels movement:
The number '7 jewels' refers to the seven synthetic rubies used as bearings in the mechanical movement to reduce friction and wear.
Countdown function:
The timer is typically configured for a countdown of 5 or 10 minutes. This aligns with standard start procedures in sailing, where various flag and sound signals indicate the time to the start.
Visual display:
This vintage timer uses a colored disc or dial.
During the countdown the colors change (for example from blue to red) to let sailors see at a glance how many minutes remain until the start.
Usage:
By pressing the crown, the central seconds hand jumps back to zero and the countdown mechanism is reset. Once the timer is activated, it counts down the minutes to the 'START' moment.
The item is packed with utmost care and shipped insured with Track & Trace.
