Vintage Ball Official Railroad Standard Trainmaster manual-wind wristwatch dating from the late 1950s to the 1960s. This particular version is highly sought after by collectors because it features the rare and elegant bombe-style curved lug stainless steel case rather than the standard straight-lug variants. The watch houses a pristine, Swiss-made Ball Caliber 1604B manual-wind movement (21 Jewels, Adjusted to 5 Positions). It is in excellent operating condition, winding smoothly, keeping great time, and the specialized railroad hacking (stop-seconds) mechanism functions perfectly.
Cosmetic Details:Dial: Authentic cream/white "boxcar" railroad dial with bold Arabic numerals, stick hands, and the signature red sweep-second hand. It features an honest, light vintage patina consistent with age. Case: 34mm solid stainless steel case with beautiful bombe lugs. Showcases normal light surface wear but retains sharp case lines. Case-back: Factory original screw-down caseback stamped "Ball Company Swiss" with the correct interior perlage finishing and internal anti-magnetic dust cap. Strap: Fitted on a premium black lizard-grain leather strap. Crystal, case and case cover have minor general wear surface scratches but in overall great condition.
