This US-Military Service-Watch was made by Hamilton in 1983. It´s called Hamilton MIL-W-46374B and it´s powered by the 466 S. T. Co. (Standard Time Corporation)
The case is fine but dirty, the glass is shattered, hands and dial are ruined, the radioactive tritium is crumbling and the movement is not running.

Don’t worry about what people comment one way or another. The joy you have in creating these videos comes across to us. Part of that is your joy of the process of creation, including putting in whatever music or transitions or captions you feel like including. I enjoy all the choices you’ve made. Thank you.

    • @@robertlassiter907 : I understand. They seemed like a nice watch. I have heard of the brand before, I just wondered how reliable they were, with only seven jewels. Quartz watches have been around for a similar length of time and the Hong Kong marking seems odd, unless they sub-contracted the work out, or just had them manufactured in Hong Kong and put their logo on it. I understood them to be an American brand. I'll have to research on the Internet now my curiosity has been aroused. Thanks for replying, hope you are enjoying your retirement.
