The caseback still retains the Speedmaster 'Seahorse' logo and is further engraved 'CHARLES E. CARLSON, U.S.N B633436'.

The movement is running at time of cataloguing, however it was not tested for the accuracy of time or duration of the power reserve and may need service at the buyer's discretion.
