One of the prettiest time pieces made for the US Navy. Issued during WWII and used up through the 1980's this Elgin built 37500 is fully functional and in its original WWII condition. It still retains its original dial and the hands are finished in the original color scheme. Most of the clock dials were refinished with white markings by the USN in the 1960s and the hands were also painted white. This change directive was an attempt to comply with no radium policy; however, the dials and hands were not, and are not radioactive. While some foreign clocks DID use radium, the 37500 did not.
A 37500 was also installed on the Flight Engineers panel of the Spruce Goose.
It's a beautiful time piece. $550
