The 60 hour Bunn Special is a collectors favorite among the Bunn's.  This one has an extra rare feature, two time zones, always one hour apart.  This concept was celebrated by Railroad professionals because they did not have to adjust local time when changing time zones, just like a GMT of today; however, it always stays one hour difference.  This model is rare to have the highly sought after 60hr Bunn and the two time zones as well.  The condition is excellent.  The bright white porcelain dial is great with only two very faint and small hairlines detected.  There is a small amount of brassing on the bail.  The case in general is excellent, no personal engravings and a very attractive stepped case on both side.  As seen on the case back, this is a model 108 with several service marks which shows pride of ownership.  There is a small indentation on the case back which can also be felt on the outside case back, but it is nothing to be concerned about and is not very detectable.  The case is 14k white gold filled.  Just serviced, this watch is running great and keeping good time, take a look at how beautifully finished and how clean the movement it.  I always love Bunn movements because they have awesome decoration and finishing; they were also made to be very high end.  Overall, this is a fantastic example of this Illinois Bunn variation that we are very happy with.  We love the fact that the watch has two different complications, the 60hr time reserve (not available on all Bunn Specials) and the two time zones (rarely available).
