What makes the Boston 464 unique: Today, were pleased to bring you another unique piece of timekeeping history originally produced by the American Waltham Watch Co. in 1924 — the Boston 464. This watchs elegant face features a clean white background accompanied by gilded numerals. The timepiece also pairs a blued diamond kite-shaped hour hand with a moon-shaped minute hand, adding to the pieces individual nature. We have paired this antique movement with our sandblasted titanium case and a gold-plated crown to draw even more attention to this stunning piece. The back of the watch — which you can view through our proprietary clear-backed case — includes an eye-catching machined nickel bridge plate that brilliantly showcases the movements inner workings. The 21 sumptuous screw-set jewels gleam in the light as the polished gold-plated gears turn around them. This moving piece of history also features an eye-catching inscription that reads, Waltham U.S.A., Riverside. We added our supple merlot leather strap to complement the watch's uniqueness. In the same year this watch was initially manufactured, four U.S. Army planes set out on the first worldwide flight. Of the four planes that departed from Seattle, Washington, only two survived the 26,000-mile trip. This landmark journey lasted 175 days and concluded on September 28th. If you wanted to complete a worldwide flight today, it would only take 40 days — less than a quarter of the time that it took these aviation pioneers.
