Search for ‘panel mount timer’ on  Google. Adding DIN may help. Most are based on DIN sizes see here:

What are DIN size panel cut-outs?

The critical parameters are panel size and voltage rating.
examples by Omron are here :

Available from usual suppliers like RS and Farnell.
Or try your luck with potentially doddgy items from China.

Hi Ian, that looks like an industrial process timer, a control panel could have several of these, which would control the batches. In my old job, they had several plant control panels with this type, but were all replaced with digital ones during panel upgrades over a few years, which were done in the annual shutdown periods. Try putting the photo in the camera icon in the Google search bar, as there were quite a few different makes, which all did much the same thing.

Regards Nick.

It seems that they are called cycl-flex timers…I don’t seem to be able to find a new one or even a used one in the uk
