Below is a 1919 WWI Waltham Depollier "Field & Marine" Waterproof  Watch in the trench warfare complex at the

"Museum of the American GI" located in College Station Texas. This is one of the most coveted American watches ever made. It still has almost all of the US Army required black finish still intact. The technology in this amazing piece of American history is what made all modern dive watches possible, including the screw down crown.
