This late model Hamilton 992B Railroad Grade and approved pocket watch is quite rare due to its production year. There were very few made past the 1960s as the rails moved to electronic and computerized timekeeping. The 992B is one of the most sought after movements due to its precision, jewel count, adjustments (6) and high finishing standards. You'll see that I carry a variety of 992Bs in different styles, and all of them have perfect to near perfect dials. I stay away from harlines and cracks and this piece shows no signs of either. The 992B is said to be one of the best and last American Made movements; and as you see in the photo's this is a very clean movement. The 992B is harder to find than most other railroad Hamilton's. This watch was serviced during intake and is running strong and keeping excellent time. It has a classic yellow gold filled case and would be a great watch to wear casually or dress; although in the era these were made and when pocket watches were the only watch, you would never wear a railroad watch to a formal event. As noted in the pictures, this watch caseback is engraved establishing provenance. As a collector, I don't mind this at all. In fact, pieces like these that have enough information to possibly learn about the original owner I think is kind of fun research. Anyhow, this is a great clean example of one of the best movements made in America.
