WWII 22 jewels Hamilton 4992BNavigation Master Watchin a super-rare walnutshock protected box, with full military markings onboth the watch and box.

Measuring 52mm in diameter, the 16 size watch has numerous fine scratches, but considering it went through WWII and was very possibly even used during the Korean war,any battle scars are well deserved. The back of the watch is marked:

Navigation

Master watch

Type AN-5740

H.W. Co. Part No. 33106

DAAA25-68-CO616

U.S.

The 24 hour dial, hands and crystal are in excellent condition, and the Hamilton 4992B (adjusted temp. and 6 positions) 22 jewel hacking stop movement winds and sets smoothly, runs well, and has been keeping good time.

The walnut box has it's original finish as evidenced by scrapes, dings, and scratches and some deterioration of its lacquer finish, but overallthe box isstill in quite good condition and would take very little to restore to mint condition, although doing so would erase years of patina. The glass on the box is in excellent condition, the wooden joints are still tight, the hinge and clasp work like new, and the boxcloses tightly and caseis fitted to the watch case and supportedby rubber shock absorbers to protect the watch itself from bumps or jars.

As with all my sales, this nice old WW2 Hamilton Navigation watch is being sold with .... the top buyer owns it!

NOTE: To be fair to all interested buyers, I do NOT consider offers to end my sales early.... please don't ask.
