The chronometer itself is a Hamilton Model 22, 35 size, 21 Jewel movement, marked US Navy – BU Ships – 1942, S/N 2F17354.

It has a safety mechanism for setting the time, where you must first press and hold in the "pin" just to the left of the stem before pulling the crown out to set the time. It also has a "wind indicator" on the face, where it shows how fully wound the watch is at the moment. All of this works fine. The back cover is engraved with the following: Bureau of Ships, U. S. Navy, N (in a circle) 6956 – 1942, Chronometer Watch. This watch is in lovely condition, and is running strong and keeping good time. The case shows hardly any wear anywhere, and the dial and hands are near perfect. The Chronometer comes in the two padded boxes. The inner box has a plastic window to allow the watch to read more
