This 1940 military maritime pocket watch is a Waltham Admiralty Pattern No. 6 Royal Navy ASDIC timer designed for anti-submarine echo sounding operations. The piece consists of a circular chrome-plated metal casing holding a glass face over an aged cream dial displaying black and red markings, a calibrated yardage dial, a central single hand, and the stamped text Waltham U.S.A. and Admiralty Pattern No. 6. Hardware elements include a top loop ring and an onion-shaped winding crown. The cream-coloured dial exhibits heavy green-spotted age speckling and staining across its surface. In a home today, this compact mechanical object sits neatly on a desk, bookshelf or display cabinet in a study or gentleman's library.

FAQs

Admiralty Pattern timers are specialised horological instruments issued to naval forces for precise timing operations, including artillery range calculations and submarine torpedo deployment.

These instruments were typically constructed with nickel or chrome-plated metal casings, mineral glass crystals, and mechanical hand-wound movements designed to withstand maritime conditions.

Authentic military timers feature specific military designations, broad arrow stamps, official Admiralty pattern numbers, and functional tactical dials tailored to distance and time calculations.

Small horological instruments can be displayed on custom metal stands inside glass vitrines, integrated into study bookshelf arrangements, or set within desktop collections.

Store the item in a dry, climate-controlled environment away from moisture, avoid force-winding the crown, and wipe the external metal casing using a dry microfibre cloth.
