    About this item

    This is a top grade pocket watch used by the US government for military issue pocket watches during the Second World War. It was then sent to the UK where it was deployed by the Royal Navy and marked with a military issue broad arrow on the dial and one engraved on the back of the case with HS3 added.

    Movement – the high grade nickel ¾ plate movement has a lever escapement, a capped escape wheel and lever and a micrometer regulator. The movement has a wheel positioned on the top plates – this is for the centre seconds wheel on the dial. The movement is decorated with damascening and is signed “Hamilton Watch Co, USA, 3992B, 22 Jewels, US Govt, Adj Temp & 6 pos, 30589. The movement also features a hacking function – when you pull out the winder the sweep centre seconds stops – vital for synchronising watches

    The movement is in 95% mint condition – a superb example

    Case – the movement comes in a base metal open face case, which has a screw off back and bezel. The case has engraved contract details on the back “Navigation Master Watch, Mfrs part 3992B, Serial No.(scratched off 1942) Hamilton Watch Co. HS3”. The case has engine turned edges and is in 70% mint condition – the usual wear on a military case with a round patch of wear with much of the engraving faint and hard to read plus the crown has been replaced

    Dial – the white enamel dial has a full set of blue steel hands including a centre seconds hand. The dial is signed “Hamilton” with a military issue broad arrow and is in 100% mint condition 

    The watch is stem wound / stem set

    The watch has a plastic glass

    The watch measures 51mm wide x 14mm deep
