Erin KufelHelp with a 4992B
Hello watch experts! I have recently purchased a Hamilton 4992B as a wedding gift for my fiance. His grandfather was in the 101st Airborne on D-Day and I thought this would be a great gift for him. I don't know much about the watch, though, and I would love to be able to give him some history on it when I present it to him. I did some research on the serial number to make sure I was getting one made during the war. I know it was used mainly for aircraft during the war. What else would he like to know about it? What do the markings on the back mean? I thank you all in advance for any help you can provide.
My pictures are too large to post, so here is the watch info:
Hamilton 4992B
AN 5740
MFR'S PART NO. 33106
SERIAL NO. AF43-26968
CONTRACT NO. w535 ac-40783
inside serial: 4C47929
Cheers from Cleveland!
