What makes the Boston 380 unique: Today we bring you this beautiful timepiece from the Waltham Watch Company, our Boston 380. We love the design and color scheme that carries throughout to give this watch a wonderfully cohesive look. This navy strap works well with the blued-steel full moon hands that stand out from the soft feel of the dial and corresponding titanium case. This watch has just the right touch of precious metal accents from the gold-plated crown, as well as gold-colored numerals. More visual accents continue on the inside of this watch, with gold-plated gears and a brass balance wheel that hide beneath this delicately machined build plate design. This movement features 17 screw-set and friction set jewels, with stainless steel hardware all throughout. Originally manufactured by the Waltham Watch Company in Waltham, Massachusetts in 1924, it was part of a batch of watches for this particular model that was only 5,500 watches in total. In this same year, the first successful around-the-world flight began in the United States in April 1924, returning to its start point in Seattle, WA in September. The trip took 175 days and covered 27,553 miles.
