This is the Zeitzünder 9 (Z.Z.9) as used by the german navy. It is a mechanical time fuze with a running time from 1 to 9 minutes. It was used on land and under water to a depth of 10 meters.
The Z.Z.9 was introduced in the end of 1944. It is told that the whitish paint on the numbers and arrow lights up in the dark because it contains Radium and is highly radioactive.
