Description:
Westclox 16S 1J "dollar watch" model 90002 stopwatch, full plate gilt movement, mint white metal dial with black Arabic numbers and minute markers and a red "60", red steel sweep second hand and a black steel duration counter light baton style hand, heavy smooth polish chrome case with a stepped bezel, heavy shoulders and an elegant rounded bow showing only very light wear, measures approx. 50mm in diameter x 60mm long x 16mm thick (crystal included), domed acrylic crystal, stop and start slide on the frame at 11 o'clock. Unlike later stopwatches, this early simple model does not have a click-to-reset crown. Instead, you wind the watch to apply power, and then use the slide to start and stop the timer. To reset the timer, you pull the crown away from the watch and manually return the hands to the 0/60 position. An interesting timepiece from the early 1900s in excellent+ condition!
