When I first started for the Santa Fe Railroad in 1974 we had to have approved watches. All that were approved at that time were the pocket watches. I bought mine from a fellow conductor. It is a Illinois Bunn Special with 21 jewels and we had to have them cleaned and adjusted once a year and carry the card with us to prove the watch kept correct time. I still have the watch 39 years later and it still keeps good time.
