I was looking for similar stopwatches and found that the words I needed to look up are "freeze time of day" stopwatch.
This site might be selling a similar sort of stopwatch;
Freeze time of day
Mechanical watches are a good a idea. When you look at the watch you remember "a picture of the time", so to speak. That might be better than digital?
Isn't that the way it is- the Naval academy (govt.) starts something new (celnav) and the price of an item (sextant) goes up! At least there will be more parts available for whatever make and model they expect the students to purchase.
Finally the Sun has come out after many days. Time to take a Sun sight.
