Classic Hamilton 992B Railroad Grade pocket watch, produced in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1956. This renowned Grade 992B, Model 5 features a precision 16-size, 21-jewel nickel movement, lever setting, and 3/4 plate construction, fully adjusted to temperature and six positions. The 992B was Hamilton’s legendary standard for American railroad accuracy and remains one of the most collectible timepieces of its era.
The watch is housed in a Star Watch Case Co. 10K gold-filled case (serial no. 8118605) with a polished finish and subtle patterned back. The classic double-sunk Montgomery dial displays black Arabic numerals with red 5-minute markers, a 24-hour inner track, and a subseconds register at 6 o’clock. The blued spade and whip hands complete its authentic railroad look.
Currently running strong and keeping time. A fine example of Hamilton’s late-era American railroad craftsmanship.
