Good day to everyone,

I recently acquired the attached stopwatch after falling in love with it, other than the "Swiss Made" markings on the face I have not been able to find any identification or model number that could link it to its past. Would any member be able to help me identify it? I appreciate you all and wish you well!

If you can unscrew the caseback without scratching it ( don’t use pliers)

the model number should be on the inside of the caseback and the serial number on the movement should yield the approx year.

60 minute timer that reads to 1/10th of a second?

my guess is early 70’s.

When you search, it might be useful to know that these were called "hand timers" in catalogs.

I see nothing of concern.

what does the inside of the caseback state?

Nothing in regards to model numbers. Just an Omega stamp unfortunately

This should get you going (explaining the 30 minute counter function and dial layout, and that it’s a Lemania movement)

Add a dash of (showing the date graph, putting this one in ~73-74 range)

Notable that @uwsearch ’s thorough looking chart didn’t include this specific model

You should post yours over there.

the user from this post’s collection photo appears to include a version of your watch, but with two pushers

The ‘racing dial’ hand timer is pretty cool!
