Up for bid is a super rare Waltham US Army Air Corps Avigation Master Type A-6 pocket watch. This is an extremely rare pocket watch. It has a 23 jewel vanguard movement with up down wind indicator. The movement is marked U.S. Army A.C.munder the balance as shown in the photos. I recently received this back from my watch guy who serviced it. It was missing it's second hand when I originally acquired the watch. A vanguard second hand was installed which is correct for this particular watch. However, it has not been painted with luminous material. I will leave that to the new owner if they choose to paint it. It is keeping accurate time. A description of what was done during it's recent service is listed below:Overhaul, complete disassembly, cleaning, oiling, regulation of movement, polishing case, pocket watch balance staff (includes poising), vanguard second hand placement. I will include the receipt of the recent service with a service record document of what was done as well as contact info of my watch guy's shop as his work comes with a one year warranty. Overall, this is an amazing piece. Likely never to see another one unless you travel to The National Space and Air Museum of The Smithsonian Institution.
