Pocket Watch Case

Side winding Elgins and Walthams are not un-common… This watch came to me from a collector who had previously fitted two other movements because he thought this movement was wrong despite the hand setting lever aligning perfectly and the small case locating peg on the edge of the movement at the Roman numeral eleven also aligning perfectly and slotting into the hole in the case.. Luckily he kept the original movement. Fully serviced with a new “Elgin” main-spring and keeping very accurate time. Not the brightest of plates but this Elgin 11 jewel “work-horse” movement is mechanically perfect. Electronically timed and tested, gains 10 seconds a day face up… Loses 2 seconds a day face down with the regulator arm being dead center on the timing index plate. Under-sprung cut bi-metal balance wheel with timing screws. Winds smoothly, open the front lid and fully pull the hand setting lever out to set the time via the winding button. A “Bay State” imperial coin silver case.. Tiny ding on the bezel near the hinge and an even smaller one on the back lid in the area of the blank cartouche. Coin edges are still very sharp. Nice floral pattern on the back lid. All closures and hinges are excellent. Clear real mineral flat bevel edged crystal. Presentation inscription on the inner dust cover lid for 1894. Lovely blued steel original hands… Fancy second hand is not original but a good tight fit and perfect in size….. A large watch at 53 m. In diameter excluding pendant and bow. Weighs in at 138 grams. Please study the photographs as they are integral to the cosmetic condition of my items. I will only pay the return costs on mis-described items. I can post to the U.

This was my father in laws wrist watch. He passed away in’74 & we just “re-found” it in the closet! It’s been here, there & everywhere! As you can tell by the wear on the watch band, he wore it often. It still works beautifully. It is Not in excellent condition, cosmetically speaking. The crystal has some scratches, commensurate to age & wear. The 750 gold case has some scratches as shown in pictures, & the gold wash on wrist band, has quite a bit if wear! Band CAN be replaced, as it is Not built in! It’s still a great deal on this HUGUENIN, Swiss wrist watch. It works perfectly but, needs professional diamond dust polishing.

Adjusted # of Positions. This 22 Jewels 16 Size True WWII Air Mans issues watch. Get a piece of working USA WWII history with this fine working Hamilton 4992B in clean & Good Condition and working great and checked for time keeping. Please look at all pictures. Engraved On The Movement G C T. Included is the Rare Brass U. Army Aircraft watch case with glass intact as pictured!!!! WWII 4992B Pocket Watch History. During World War II, Hamilton produced a variety of time pieces to support the war effort. In fact, all of Hamilton’s production was dedicated to defense purposes. However, they did still produce some wrist watches using excess movements produced in the 1920′s. One of the war-related watches was a pocket watch with a central sweep second hand. The movement was based on the 21 jewel, 16 size 992B movement. However, an extra jewel was added to support the second hand pinion, so the movement got 22 jewels and was called the 4992B. The 4992B is known as a “Navigator’s Watch” as it was used by aviators to aid in navigation by the US Navy during the war. Here’s a couple of advertisements from WWII-era Life Magazines that featured the 4992B. You’ll often see 4992B’s in a case or a box that was intended to isolate it and protect it from shocks or accidental damage. If you look closely at the dial, you’ll see that it’s a 24 hour dial so it takes a full day for the hour hand to make a full rotation. 12:00 noon on a 24 hour dial looks like 6:00 on a 12-hour dial. The minute hand still makes it around the dial in one hour, so the ratio of the minute hand to the hour hand is modified using a different minute wheel and hour wheel ratio.
