A 17-jewel configurations. Housed in its classic chrome-plated case with fixed lugs and a crisp stainless steel back, the timepiece retains its striking, highly coveted two-tone copper/salmon sector dial complete with an outer railroad minute track, dual 12/24-hour military markers, blued steel hands, and a sub-seconds register at 6 o'clock. Fitted to a authentic vintage leather pass-through bund strap, its ultimate historical charm rests in the personal inscription hand-scratched across the case back by its original owner, "Jim Wolfe"—a evocative hallmark of WWII field provenance that transforms a handsome, fully functional 1940s American wrist instrument into a tangible, one-of-a-kind piece of military history.
