Couldn't load pickup availability
An extremely rare late 70s Seiko reproduction of the original 1964 Tokyo Olympics Basketball stopwatch (seen in the last photo). There is only one other photo of this stopwatch online from 10 years ago so not much is known about these reproductions. A very unique and rare stopwatch that is in immaculate condition, fully working, and would be an amazing collectors piece.
From the plus9time article on Seiko Timers for the Olympics the functions are:
The basketball timer is designed to measure the thirty second rule in the game. The watch is started by depressing the crown, the left pusher will reset the seconds and minute hands back to zero and continue running in a flyback type action. The minute sub-dial can record up to a maximum of 15 minutes.
