Hasselblad Film Winding Knob with Exposure Meter, model 54011, near mint and tested and working; a self-powered selenium meter built into the 500-series winding knob that reads incident or reflected light.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a selenium (self-powered) incident and reflected light meter built into a Hasselblad 500-series winding knob.
It pops on and off with a locking bayonet mount and replaces your usual winding knob or crank.
This tiny meter is always on and needs no battery. It reads reflected or incident light (just press the latch and slide the diffuser over the meter cell), and it's always where you need it: your winding knob.
Even better, it pops off with a button, so you can take it off your camera to meter closer or for incident readings. It is completely self-contained.
The Hasselblad Meter Knob has a mirrored scale for precise reading.
It comes in a plastic carrying case, which will of course hold your regular knob if you're using the meter. It's not waterproof for SCUBA, but it certainly is dirt, dust and splashproof for using your meter in nasty environments.

It works with any Hasselblad with an interchangeable winding knob, which are the 500 C, 500 C/M and 503 CX from 1957~1994. As of 1994 and newer the 503 CXi used a different crank and the cheaper 501 C no longer had a removable crank at all.
It even works with digital backs, and it also works with any other camera that uses the EV system. If your camera lacks the EV system, the calculator dial of most other meters can be used to translate EV into shutter speeds and apertures.
