  Hello,
  I would be interested to find out a little more about the stopwatch I found this weekend in my late father’s belongings. I imagine he used it when he was a ‘second’ working in the corner for the Met Police Boxing Association.
  Thanks very much

  Thanks for your message,

  It’s a trackstar. This range of stopwatches are referenced in HEUER commercial documentation from the end 70’s (around 1976/1977) to the early 80’s. They feature a 7 jewel pinlever caliber making them a kind of intermediary between classcal lever movement and 1 jewel pinlever movement timers (by example trackmaster).

  Yours, the ref. 603.302, is a general purpose stopwatch and your father could have used it to time boxing meetings.

  * Here an article with other informations on trackstar timers : https://ikonicstopwatch.com/vintage-stopwatch-heuer-leonidas-ref-652-307-trackstar-allsports/.

  * The red. 603.302 is in the 1981 catalog, page 19 : https://ikonicstopwatch.com/1981-heuer-vintage-stopwatch-catalog-iiu-29/.
