Single-button pocket stopwatch of Viennese production, signed by Julius Haffner, official supplier to the k.u.k. Kriegsmarine (Austro-Hungarian Imperial and Royal Navy), datable to the late 19th - early 20th century.

The stopwatch features a high-quality white porcelain dial, with excellent legibility.
The outer chapter ring displays the seconds counter up to 60, printed in black, with well-defined markings.
Seconds measurement is entrusted to a central blued steel hand, with a crescent-shaped tail.

At 12 o'clock there is a small minute sub-dial, with a scale graduated up to 30 minutes, a typical solution for stopwatches intended for technical and military applications, particularly naval ones.

The overall dial reflects a functional and rigorous design, aimed at precision and rapid readability, essential characteristics for professional use in the Austro-Hungarian navy.
