Men's wrist watch with countdown timer for sailing race. Steel barrel-shaped case. Dial with satin-finished silvered background, signed, with applied baton hour markers for the main hours, and dashes and Arabic numerals painted in black for the minutes. Five red disc windows, central second hand. Automatic movement (not opened). Screw-down back, signed and numbered 501162 and 4000N. Black rubber strap and steel buckle, signed. Circa 1965-1970. Minor wear scratches on the case, scratches and cracks on the plexi, strap attached. The pressure of the button triggers a five-minute countdown, materialized by a return of the second hand to zero and the progressive colouring of the five discs in red.
