Elinvar was an earlier French development by Ch. Ed. Guillaume, and c.1930 Hamilton bought the right to the exclusive American right to use Elinvar. However, they soon discovered that it had some serious problems in addition to its much-touted advantages. Primarily, it was softer than steel hairsprings, resulting in more sluggish motion and poor isochronous qualities, particularly in larger size watches such as 16-size railroad watches. It was easily damaged if not handled with great care by watchmakers and was known to sag, causing position errors or worse, and there were claims that some of its characteristics changed with aging. Hamilton's experience with the original Elinvar quickly told them that they needed to find something better, and that was Elinvar Extra, introduced c.1940., initially on the all-new railroad grade 992B and special WWII timepieces, and eventually to all Hamilton domestic production.

WALTHAM  "VANGUARD " UP AND DOWN DIAMOND BALANCE JEWEL----> RARE REPLACEMENT UP AND DOWN DIAL   1911

STOCK NUMBER # WALTHAM20-------Rarely but it happens, a conductor / engineer will drop his watch, it can also fall off the chain and many other reasons may be why the dial cracked, chipped and the watch then needed to be cleaned and free from any debris that could stop the cogs and wheels from keeping perfect time. The engineer would then at the next stop where the county certified railroad pocket watch person would be stationed at, the dial would be replaced and a new one would be sent ASAP but until then the "replacement" dial would be put onto the pocket watch and given back to the conductor or engineer. I have such a piece right here and freshly serviced, oiled and timed to perfection.
