Skylab Portable Timer
"Accutron "count down" (reverse-dial) alarm clock"
In 1969, McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Co. and the Bulova Timer Laboratory designed and built this timer exclusively for the Skylab Orbital Workshop. The timer used a modified 214H Accutron movement in a case that was designed to be rugged and portable. Its purpose was to provide a way for Astronauts to time experiments, events and activities such as crew exercise. The timer had an electronic alarm feature.
redbirdredbird,
I'm still looking for more information on this clock/timer such as a part number for the battery used for the alarm. Have you had the back off and did it happen to have a battery inside?
