| Brand: Waltham | Type: Stopwatch |
In really really good (everything) and working condition, the only small blemish is staining and a little paint loss on the hands. I didn't take a pic of the mechanism because it looks like it's never been opened and I don't want to be the idiot who scratched it! Cycles through the seconds perfectly stops fine and resets to zero fine, in other words does everything it is supposed to. The interesting thing for me with this is that it is really quite heavy. The Type A-8 was a ...navigation stopwatch designed for timing ground speed meters for determining the velocity of aircraft relative to the ground. One revolution of the Type A-8 hand was equivalent to ten seconds. The dial was white on early Wittnauer Type A-8 watches and black on Waltham watches produced from 1940 onwards. Elgin produced a Type A-8, 15 jewel, black dial stopwatch under military specification no. 27749. Waltham, the Federal Television Corp. and Aristo Import Co. manufactured Type A-8 stopwatches under military specification MIL-W-6510 (specification published in August 1951 and superseded No. 94-27749A published in July 1945). Under MIL-W-6510, continuous running movements were required to have not less than 15 jewels and the non-continuous movements were required to have not less than 9 jewels.
