Nonius (or "Vernier" scale)!
Great tool and beautiful example of the watch.
Why is this particular watch named for this tool?
The orange second hand and the outer track can be used as a Vernier scale to measure 1/10th's of a second. However, because the beat rate of the watch is lower than 36000 BPH, it is more of a visual element than a functional one.
