The Hamilton Grade 992 is the quintessential American-made Railroad Grade pocket watch. Hamilton’s 992 featured unparalleled accuracy and superb construction, much to the envy of watchmakers worldwide, including the vaunted Swiss manufacturers.
The 992 featured here was part of the 1928 production run. This fine movement is housed in this popular 14k white gold fill Hamilton Cross Bar case.
