The dial is marked Hamilton Watch Co. and the balance is gold colored.

Hamilton sold the watches to the US Govt under various contracts but where they went after that is probably subject to BuShips records, etc. Plus, Model 22 Chronometers were available for sale for decades after WWII through Hamilton's catalogs - so I'm sure there are plenty of examples that never saw military service at all.HandyDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083270175066343104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-19341976391963039592015-05-23T23:52:52.346-07:002015-05-23T23:52:52.346-07:00I enjoyed reading your detailed comments about the...I enjoyed reading your detailed comments about the mechanism and history of the Model 22. I just purchased a gimbaled Hamilton Model 22, and am trying to find out if it was on a naval vessel. Do you know if Hamilton kept any logs?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
