Unknown German? fuze marked 24 seconds

A while ago I got this fuze on a fleamarket, and have not yet been able to identify it. The seller told me her husband got it while fishing just outside the Belgian coast (near Nieuwpoort).
It looks German (but could be Belgian too) and is about the same size as a Dopp.Z.S/43 naval fuze. But it's graded to 24 seconds, so it does not seem to fit any of the more wellknown fuzes.

I saw that this thread mentioning a ZeitZünder S24 for star shells: http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/90821-Star-shells but it does not have pictures.

This thread has a picture: www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/72623-Zt-Z-S-24-for-7-7cm-Leuchtgeschoss but it does not seem to match mine.

Ah damn... how could I have missed that... never thought of that because of the "found at sea" story.
Thanks for the help!
