The Illinois Bunn Special Railroad grade movements were renowned for their precision as well as the long power reserve at 60 hours which was certainly an advantageous feature against competitors. It has many top grade features such as Motor Barrel, Fully Jeweled at 21j, and Solid Gold Wheel Train and Jewel Settings. It also comes with Anti-magnetic Elinvar hairsprings. This particular example also comes in a White Gold Filled Railroad Case signed with ‘Bunn Special Model 29’ inside.
