Really nice Hamilton 992E railroad pocket watch. Methinks sour grapes following Brexit. The movement is a development of the familiar 992, this has an Elinvar hairspring and a solid mono metallic balance wheel. This development was designed to counter the problem of magnetism in watches at that time. The movement features 21 jewels, to include sapphire pallets, gold screw set settings and a fully capped escapement.

The spec also includes gold timing screws, a gold alloy centre wheel and a micro regulator. The movement was also fully adjusted to ensure reliable timekeeping in every position. This is a very sophisticated specification for the time and exceeded the requirements for Railroad approval.

This watch is pendant wound and lever set (withdraw the lever adjacent to the 1 to set the time) both functions work well, the watch runs strong and keeps excellent time. The movement is in excellent mechanical condition and is also good aesthetically with no unsightly scratches or evidence of corrosion. The yellow gold filled case is in super fine condition with no dents, dings or heavy scratches, and no wear through to brass evident.

This is a model 2 bar over crown case designed for Hamilton and features the words Hamilton Railroad engraved on the top of the crown. The screw on / off covers both do so easily and close down square and tight all around.

The double sunk white enamel dial is in super fine condition with no chips, cracks or hairlines, The montgomery style dial printing all crisp and sharp. Heavy black steel spade hands under a mineral glass crystal. Overall, a fairly scarce and highly collectable 992E in super condition, ready to go for another 80 years.
