Beats 360 000!

We love the fastest stopwatches. Heuer made them famous (also using split seconds – “Microsplit”). They are quite rare, but we have seen them from Zenith too. The measurements are hefty 64,6 mm diameter and 22 mm thick. The fitted wooden box is lined and very solid. The markings are: “Tre Kronor” and M 3443-013011. The serial number is 665128. Kungsur Stockholm often ordered Swiss watches; typically from Breitling and Excelsior Park, to sell to the Swedish armed forces (and the national telephone company). We date this immaculate instrument to the 1950s.
