counter
It occurs in a user manual of a stop watch.
Context:
Once again to stop after a distance of 100 or 1000 m. Read the speed indicated by the 60 seconds counter (Retrograde: 30 sec.) on the tachymeter scale (km/h = kph).
Press the lower button to reach the position 12 h 00 with the hand of the 1/10 sec. counter. (Retrograde: reach position 0 with the 5min. counter)

逆跳(时间)
retrograde在腕表中表示"逆跳"，根据上下文 ，这里做逆跳时间比较恰当
与陀飞轮、三问、万年历装置相比，逆跳并不是一项非常复杂的技术，价格门槛也不算太高，有些万元左右的机械表上就可以看到简单的“逆跳”。
逆跳指针(Retrograde)，也可称为“回跳”、“飞返”，表现为指针以弧形为运行轨迹，当到达终点时立即弹回起点，从而使指针转动变成一种往复运动，有别于一般的圆周运动。
