Your post immediately reminded me of W.C. Ball's contribution to rail road safety. "In 1891, After the infamous the mail train collision between Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railways at Kipton, Ohio, which occurred because an engineer’s watch had stopped unnoticed for about 5 minutes, the commissioner of railroads appointed Webb C. Ball to develop and set strict accuracy" http://www.watcheshistory.com/ball-the-railroad-watch/
Chuck, thank you for posting that, the history is one of the reason I purchased the watch.... but the tritium tubes make it look modern.
I’d buy a Timex Expedition if I could find one with a Stainless Steel Bracelet and in 42 mm or bigger. There great Watches. Sent from my iPhoneXR using Tapatalk
Not my pic but found one of these today in a junk box at the local haunt. It's a Chinese reproduction of a WW II era field watch. It's quartz, and that wouldn't be so bad but the yellow on the face is a stupid decision. If it were tan it would look great.
