Description
in very good condition. The only major deviation from originality is that the last owner had his cabinet maker inlay an American Eagle into the lid (very nice work). The box is otherwise sound with gimbals, lock and latches intact and the watch in good running order. This was made for the U.S. Navy Bureau of Ships and both the tub and movement are so marked. Note the tub bears serial number 3454 (1941), and the watch bears number 2F-6711 (1942), not an uncommon occurrence when units were sent in for repairs. Height 6 inches
