A beautiful 16 size railroad grade watch made by Hamilton Watch Co. in 1946.

It features all of the very latest innovations and improvements along with the traditional quality and refinement expected of American made watches. Famed for it's accuracy and reliability the 992B is the benchmark against which others are judged.
The nickel bridge plate movement has 21 jewels, a fully capped Swiss lever escapement with double roller, Sapphire pallet stones, gold timing screws, "Elinvar" white metal temperature and magnetism resistant hairspring and solid mono-metal balance wheel. The movement is finished with a handsome damascened pattern and gold jewel settings.

The watch is crown wind and lever set (withdraw the small lever by the 1 and rotate the crown to set the time) both functions working smoothly.
