Sounds like a Decimal Bezel... *LINK*
In Response To: Chronograph Scales ()

: I just received a vintage stopwatch (not a
: Heuer, it is a Minerva). The hands of the
: stopwatch make a full revolution in 60
: seconds, but the number 100 appears at the
: 12 o'clock position, not 60.

: Curious about the scale and what the watch may
: have been used for. Most stopwatches I see
: have either 60 or 30 at the 12 o'clock
: position.

: Any help would be appreciated.

: Thanks

: Tom
