Can anyone help identify this please, on the face it has, in German, Fur 10 Umdrehungen. and inside there is a serial no 61052 ,other than that i can find no other markings, although it is a bit distressed it is in perfect working order. The stop watch function works by depressing the button and the seconds dial and the other one which is in divisions of 3 up to 30 is also working and it keeps amazing time. It is made of Gunmetal i think.
Any info at all on this as to maker or function would be much appreciated.
Looks like a very earlier Omega Chronograph, but the no markings leads me away from that. Very NICE chrono pocket watch, I'm not familiar with this one, but will be watching for some of the others to answer your query
Thanks Kerry, it is a mystery but what a fantastic complex movement, would be wasted on a cheapo.
not a cheapo for sure, I'll research UMF/ Rhula and see if they made a "Chrono", I believe you're correct on the "gun metal" and date on this a guess at early 1900's
Take a peek at this and see if you thing same :

certainly looks like it, the numbers are the same styling and the layout is the same. the divisions around the outer ring are for turns of 5 and mine is for turns of 3, the top dial is in stages of 5 and mine is in stages of 3. could well be the same make but for different functions, Wow, I didnt expect so much in such a short time. Forever Grateful.
Hi Kerry10456, thanks to your info i have found it on this link

The movement is the second on the list HEUER circa 1910, now i know the maker it is just the function that is a mystery. GETTING THERE.
