HAMILTON 21j 992E ELINVAR IN MOD 2 BOC CASE MONTY DIAL TOTALLY MINT! ICONIC

  
The legendary Iconic Hamilton 992E - The pocket watch that set the standard for all American Railroad watches! I have been collecting American Pocket watches for a very long time and THIS ONE is probably the FINEST EXAMPLE OF THE BELOVED 992 ELINVAR SIGNED HAMILTON THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN! I do not make this statement lightly, it looks to me that this one was put away very early in its life to rest comfortably in its little hiding place for almost 80 years! There appears to be only 1 set of watchmaker service marks inside the rear cover.

"Pristine" is not overstating the originality of this masterpiece. When you consider the phrase "Railroad Grade Watch" this is the image that pops into your mind! This stunner carries the highly desirable original "BLIND MAN MONTGOMERY DIAL" which was fitted to only a small percentage of the production.

This dial is in factory perfect condition with no hairlines or chips and the hands are the original DEEP BLUE Bold Spade. It lives in its original signed WADSWORTH MODEL 2 "BAR OVER CROWN" absolutely mint condition case # H168729. You do not come across a specimen like this very often. Check out the pictures, the closer you look, the better it gets! (iPhone XS if you're wondering) The rear screw on cover has just a bit of a wavy spot and is barely perceptible. The movement is the classic Hamilton 21 JEWEL "992" ADJUSTED TO 5 POSITIONS, TEMPERATURE & ISOCHRONISM with the very advanced for its time "ELINVAR" hairspring which helped it to earn it's reputation as one of the most accurate watches ever made.

It is running strong and keeping excellent time. The GOLD SCREW DOWN JEWEL SETTINGS, Solid Gold CENTER WHEEL, GOLD BALANCE SCREWS, GOLD Enamel filled engraving and the elegant DAMASKEENING pattern scream out to one and all that this is today, still one of the highest quality mechanical timepieces ever produced! Thanks for looking and if this extraordinary Hamilton strikes your fancy and you are looking for a solid investment quality timepiece, this is a no-brainer.

Of course, as with any mechanical item of this age, I can make no guarantee as to the future operation or reliability, but I suspect that this beauty has a lot of life left in it! Please contact me with any questions you may have, and I will quickly respond. I have recently decided to offer some of the watches in my collection for sale, but it's not easy for me. I hope to be listing several more outstanding watches in the coming weeks and months so add me to your favorites and check back occasionally for new listings. As then, our goal is always your complete satisfaction!
