► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Waltham Ord. Dept. U.S.A. men’s manual wind military watch, issued during the World War II era and powered by the original Grade 10617 movement. This is an authentic U.S. government-issued timepiece featuring the correct military caseback markings and classic wartime design. The watch is currently running and holding accurate time and was recently serviced in April 2026. The dial features bold Arabic numerals, blued steel hands, and a subsidiary seconds register at 6 o’clock. It has a clean, highly legible military layout with an aged patina that adds to its originality and character, consistent with its period use. All parts of the watch are original, including the correct Waltham 10617 manual wind movement. The stainless steel caseback is clearly marked “ORD. DEPT. U.S.A.” along with its issue number, confirming its military origin. The watch remains in fantastic physical condition for its age and shows light signs of use and age. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully. The watch is fitted on a new old stock aftermarket era-correct Bonklip military bracelet.
