Anyone like football?

Or soccer as we call itsmile. Another acquisition that flew under the radar, IMHO. It is near NOS and functions flawlessly. An additional bonus it what looks to be the original deployant, and rally strap! Unusual as it tapers from 22 down to 14mm at the buckle.

. . . your 'soccer timer' belongs resonates deeply. There were a few versions in other dial colors (white and black). The unique aspect of yours is the Corfam strap and deployant, which looks more like a bracelet clasp to my eyes. Perhaps it was delivered... 

Could be, but I don't think so.......

check out how the strap attaches to the buckle: But I have not seen anything like this before. ...  

I've never seen that deployant before, either. As . . .

. . . my namesake was fond of saying . . . :-)

I suspected it might be the same as used on the Chronostop....

and I was right: At least this one is listed for sale as such. ...
