Late 1970s Smiths Rally Timer in Black ABS Case
1972 Smiths Rally Stopwatch, 1/5th 30min timer. Case diameter 68mm (70.3mm including crown), 21mm thickness in black ABS plastic case.
Entirely British-made 18, 000bph Calibre 19PY movement has been stripped, inspected, ultrasonically cleaned, re-lubricated, oiled, and adjusted. Superb accuracy. Smooth reset. Solid stop and start.
ABS case in exceptional almost ‘as new’ condition. Scuffing at bare minimum and no compres...sion marks on the side of the case.
Stop/start via side pusher, reset via depression of the crown. The stop-balance arm is provided with a lock to prevent reset whilst the watch is running, but this lock can be overcome if too much downward force is applied to the crown. Smiths sold the watches with a warning never to attempt to reset the crown whilst the watch was running, always stop the watch before resetting. If the mainspring has run down completely without the resetting the hands it will not be immediately apparent whether the watch is stopped or in run mode, in this case always fully wind the watch before resetting the watch.
Will fit any standard Smiths rally clip.
