Description from the seller
Classic mechanical vintage stopwatch of the Sport STAR model. This timekeeping instrument features a bright white dial with a black 60‑second scale, a red central second hand, and a red 60‑marker indication. The dial also includes a black 30‑minute counter at the 12 o'clock position, a 1/5 second scale, and the inscriptions 'Sport STAR', 'Antichoc', '1/5' and 'Swiss Made'. The metal case is marked on the side with the engraving 'Base Metal Swiss'.
The stopwatch is equipped with an original Swiss hand-wound movement with one jewel. The plate carries the factory markings 'Swiss Made', 'One 1 Jewel' and 'Unadjusted', as well as the caliber stamps 'RC 173' and '410' under the balance wheel. The inside of the case back is stamped with the rectangular trademark 'Swiss Made – Base Metal'. The instrument operates via a crown at the top and a separate side button for the start/stop functions.
The item is in good and neat vintage condition with light, age-appropriate signs of wear on the housing and the movement. The mechanism has been technically checked, responds directly to the controls, winds smoothly, and functions properly.
