The Elgin National Watch Company advertised the iconic No. 49 enamel dial specifically for railroad watches.
The heavy Arabic numerals and enlarged diamond five-minute indicators met more stringent dial specifications required by some railroads and time inspectors.
As a result, the No. 49 dials are typically found fitted on railroad grade movements such as “Veritas” and “Father Time.”
