The telemeter chronograph is a feature of a wristwatch which allows the user to approximately measure the distance to an event that can be both seen and heard (e.g. a lightning bolt or a torpedo strike) using the speed of sound. The user starts the chronograph (stopwatch) at the instant the event is seen, and stops timing at the instant the event is heard. The seconds hand will point to the distance measured on a scale, around the edge of the face.The scale can be defined in any unit of distance, but miles or kilometers are most practical and commonplace.GruenTelemeter01This item must be shipped with a tracking number. All USA bids over $50.00 must be USPS certified mail.
