Thiswatch is an excellent timekeeper. It will run for approximately 60 hours on asingle winding. It is intended, however, to be wound at the same time everyday. An up/down indicator shows the winding condition. A detailed descriptionof the timepiece can be found in Whitney\'s book: Military Timepieces. The Hamilton Watch Co. put many verysophisticated innovations into this deck chronometer, and it may be arguablythe finest mass produced lever escapement timepiece. Some of the innovationsincorporated into this watch include a 60 in. long mainspring (unheard of forthis type of watch, it insured a steady amount of power) and a unique biaxialthermal expansion type of balance wheel coupled to an Elinvar hairspring. Italso has a \"safety setting device\" to prevent accidental timechange. The box features a plaque describing this device and how to useit. The face, hands, and movement on this example are original and inexcellent condition. The beautifully lacquered navy brass is excellentthroughout.
