Up for sale is a classic, precision-engineered vintage Security by Racine open-face mechanical stopwatch.
Proudly stamped Swiss Made, this high-visibility timer was imported by the legendary Jules Racine & Co., a brand famous for supplying ultra-reliable timing equipment to sporting events, laboratories, and industrial settings throughout the mid-20th century.
Quick Specifications:
- Brand: Security by Racine (Jules Racine & Co.)
- Movement: Vintage Mechanical Manual Hand-Wind

- Display Layout: High-contrast white dial with a crisp 60-second main sweep track and an integrated 30-minute elapsed timing sub-dial at the top center.
Detailed Condition Report:
- Functional Condition: RUNS WELL. The mechanical Swiss movement winds up smoothly, acts cleanly when the crown is depressed, ticks strongly, and snaps back perfectly to the zero alignment reset.
- Cosmetic Condition (Case): The polished chrome-plated case shows a heavy collection of fine surface pocket scratches and hairline storage scuffs from honest historical handling, but it remains bright, highly reflective, and free of severe structural dents, deep cracks, or gouges.
- Dial & Crystal: The dial is exceptionally bright, clean, and perfectly preserved with no fading or yellowing. The protective front crystal is clear and offers an unobstructed view of the hands.
A fantastic, ticking piece of Swiss timing history—perfect for vintage sports enthusiasts, coach displays, or mechanical clock collectors. Please review all high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic details.
