Note: Military bomb timers are rarely seen. The center sweep hand makes 2 1/2 revolutions per minute and is activated by a single depression of the thumb piece over the crown. The hand moves clockwise. When the countdown begins the crown is pushed twice causing the sweep hand to retrogress and move back counterclockwise to zero which is the bomb deployment time. A push piece at one stops the hand and the crown returns it to zero.
