It is a wrench used to remove / tighten threaded lens retaining rings and other slotted retaining nuts used in lens assemblies.
They tend to have two flat-head screwdriver style tips (or pointed tips) which engage in the small opposing slots seen on those retaining rings.
It is recommended to use such a spanner wrench as it significantly reduces the risk of slipping and accidental damage compared to inappropriate improvised use of e.g. a compass or dividers.
Most ones available for hobby & service centre use are width-adjustable, like the one shown above in this thread, so you only need a small selection of them to tackle most encountered retainer rings.
During lens assembly in the factory they tend to use calibrated-width ones specifically designed to each retainer ring to be tightened. These are usually constructed such as to help set/guide the retainer ring properly, and are often constructed as a nylon cylinder with steel inserts and a rear handle to facilitate a secure grip. See below video around the 30 sec. mark for an example of one of those used in the factory:
