Hamilton Watch Co. 21 jewel stemwind and stemset U.S. Navy Bureau of Ships Model 22 Chronometer Watch with Up/Down wind indicator. Terrific high grade World War II military timepiece with its original box and gimbals. Back of brass tub is marked \"MTD WATCH, BUREAU OF SHIPS, U.S. NAVY, NO 9654-1943\". Upper lid of wooden box has a gold colored insert that reads \"Correct Time by the Hamilton Chronometer Watch. Designed and built for use as a navigational timepiece. This timepiece is the mostaccurate instrument of its type ever made\". This piece also comes with an interesting and unusual extra item, a notecard that reads \"Sorry ... ... thesupply of outside carrying cases for this instrument is exhausted. The price has been adjusted accordingly. HAMILTON WATCH CO. Lancaster, Penna.\". Movement serial number is 2F16978.
Running but needed a twist to start and I think likely this Chronometer has not seen a cleaning and oiling in many years. Wind indicator functions correctly. Very nice looking movement with excellent color and luster. Dial and hands are excellent with just a few very mild imperfections. Gimbals and box are in nice shape with some typical mild marks and wear. Hamilton \"Sorry\" notecard is in good overall shape but has a crease down the right side and some roughness to the finish on its blank back side.
