tid bit of info for you :-)
Ever wonder what a cap jewel is or an "Inca bloc shock system is all about?"
A cap jewel you will find on both sides of the balance wheel staff (pivot)
and this piece (cap jewel) is under a very small spring that closes down on the
jewel but lets it float a little so if G-d forbid you drop your watch the
balance staff that fits right underneath it will move up and down a fraction so
it will not snap as the cap jewel is held in by the small inca bloc spring as
mentioned just before. You have a small friction jewel just under the cap jewel
and this small friction jewel has a hole in the center and this is where the
balance staff goes into, to keep the balance straight and the cap jewel is flat
on the balance staff side and rounded on top so the Inca bloc spring keeps a it
snug in place but will let it move a fraction of a mm to give the staff protein
from falls. Without an Inca bloc system on both plates of the balance if the
watch is dropped there is no give and the balance will snap in half and you are
looking at a major repair job.

HAMILTON "CROSS COUNTRY"
N. AMERICAN 5 TIME ZONES WATCH EXTRA RARE AND SERVICED!
STOCK NUMBER # HAM610------I have an American made Hamilton wrist watch and
rare it is. I have cleaned and serviced this 17 jewel wrist watch and keep in
mind there are two models of this "cross country" Hamilton gold filled watch.
One has 18 jewels and known as the cross country 2 model, as this piece is
original and has 17 jewels it is the model produced in very limited supply in
the year 1956 as well the movement is marked "Illinois" and this is 100% per
cent correct for this Hamilton cross country 5 time zone wrist watch. The dial
has never been touched and is in factory original condition. This gold filled
Hamilton signed case is 42mm long and wide not including the crown it is 34mm. The inner black
dial moves separately from the outer white marker dial and I left the hand off
the five zones but if you are in New York time you would put the hour hand to
"E" and then you know what time the other zones are compared to New York time or
Eastern time zone, quite smart indeed. The case is a snap in stainless steel
back and the top is a gold filled case with no personal engravings at all to be
found. The movement is carefully serviced and with 17 inspected jewels so expect
a serviced time piece that keeps great time for sure. The band is 18mm in width
never worn at all. The crystal is flawless and the hands are original to this
gold filled ultra scarce Hamilton 5 time zone wrist watch. The case is signed
"Hamilton Cross country" on the inside of the back of this stainless steel case
and the case serial number is R558618. Stunning and serviced and well maintained
all these years.
ON HOLD ;-)

movement with 17 sparkling clean ruby jewels. As you can see this movement is
nearly new old stock in condition and the case is quite clean. Yes the fixed
bezel is worn a tad but clean for sure. The band is 18mm in width never worn.
