The 4992B is a version of Hamilton's popular(and excellent) railroad grade 992B movement used adapted for use as a "deck watch", a watch designed to allow a sailor to get the time from the chronometer(which kept the ship's official time) down below deck to where the sun could be sighted on deck.
The 4992B is pendant setting, center seconds movement. This is as compared to the 992B, which uses a conventional sub-seconds dial(small dial at 6:00) and is lever setting(set by pulling out a small lever at 1:00 and then turning the pendant).
Also, all 4992B were set up as 24-hour watches, with a dial marked as such(there was a 12 hour version, marked 3992B on the movement). All original 24 hour dials were black, with white hands.
4992B movements are "hack" movements, which means that the movement will stop when the stem is pulled out to set the time.
Finally, all military-issue 4992Bs had military contract information engraved on the case back. Most were in base metal cases, but some were in silver cases.
A lot of these 4992B movements were sold as military surplus, and many had parts changed to the readily interchangeable 992B to make them more conventional. So, to summarize, a proper and correct 4992B watch should have all of the following features:
1. A black finished, white lettered dial with 24 hour markings. The dial should be signed "G.C.T."
2. A center, sweep second hand. There should NOT be a subsidiary second hand at 6:00.
3. All white hands, with the hour hand actually requiring 24 full rotations of the minute hand to make one rotation.
4. Pendant setting, with the watch stopping when the pendant is pulled out.
5. A case marked with military contract information.
If all of the above is correct, the value is probably in the $300-400 range, maybe slightly more with a sterling case.
If any of the above is incorrect, the value drops.
