Waltham, a company that has been in the business of manufacturing watches and chronometers since 1850, played a vital role in the production of timekeeping instruments for the American military during WWII.

The Waltham timer stopwatch was used by the U.S. military for a variety of purposes, such as timing bomb drops, artillery fire, and navigation. These timers were used on a wide range of military aircraft and ships from the B-17 to submarines.

One of the key features of the WWII Waltham timer stopwatch is its accuracy. The stopwatch was designed to be extremely precise, with a tolerance of only one-fifth of a second. This level of precision was vital for the military, as timing was crucial in the execution of many operations. The stopwatch also had a large, easy-to-read dial, making it easy for soldiers to read the time even in low light conditions.

In addition to its practical uses, the WWII Waltham timer stopwatch also holds a special place in the hearts of many veterans. For many soldiers, the stopwatch was a constant companion, a symbol of their service and sacrifice. The stopwatch is a tangible reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served in WWII, and it serves as a powerful symbol of the sacrifices made by all veterans.

The WWII Waltham timer stopwatch is a true piece of history that can be treasured for generations to come.

*While the outside of this watch is in great condition the timer does not work.  why we have not tampered with and dismantled the watch we believe that a gear is dislodged and out of place, something that should be easily fixable... however this is just a guess based on past military watches of this sort we have worked with.
