Description:    Russian Manufactured Split Second Timer, ~20 size in American measure, 2.5" in Diameter.  Movement is marked 20 jewels, split 3/4 plate design, marked with serial number.  Arabic dial is flawless and has a center minute register zero to thirty.  Split Second Hands are in Red and Blue Steel,   HEAVY case is nickel, and is in excellent condition with only a couple of light scratches, has a screw off blued back and snap on bezel with a thick glass crystal.  Movement is highly complicated with an ingenious balance stop which give a little flick to the balance as it is released.  I kid you not, this is one of the coolest timers I have ever held in my hand!  And if all that were not enough, it comes in it's original wooden box with special tool to open the back cover and original papers (in Russian of course).  The hinged wooden box is in excellent condition, with no damage to the finish and has a latched front.  Papers are 100% intact and fully legible, if you can read Russian.  I had two of these, but have taken pictures of only one of them (see below).
