How to Find a Great Jeep Pocket Watch

For many years now, the name Jeep is synonymous with rugged strength. Many people are Jeep-lovers, and proudly drive their vehicle of choice both on road and off. Jeeps are preferred because they're fairly small, offer four-wheel drive, and can be driven with the doors and top on, or off. Many Jeep enthusiasts organise and congregate at annual events to show off their vehicles and socialize.

** Pocket Watch Tip ** The American Expeditionary Forces around the world adopted this watch as their official timepiece. In World War I, a wristwatch version of the Broadway Limited was given to General Pershing and his men. These watches were worn by Admiral Byrd on his adventures to the Poles, and by the Picards on their ascent via balloon. The wristwatch version of the Broadway limited was also on the wrist of the first American to conquere Mt. Everest.

Because Jeep is such a household name, an ernomous range of merchandise sporting the Jeep name has been created. You can find clothing, keyrings, knives, sunglasses, wrist watches, and even pocket watches bearing the Jeep logo. Jeep has gone from being the name of a vehicle to being a veritable brand on its own.

The Jeep pocket watch is a robust, rugged timepiece that features precision quartz movement and luminous indexes. These watches are waterproof for up to 100 feet, and can easily go wherever you do. They are durable, scratch resistant, and come with a protective leather pouch.

Thinking of getting your very own Jeep pocket watch? Well, you may just be able to purchase them at one of those Jeep festivals mentioned earlier. You can also try your local jewelry store, thrift shop, watch store, or even Jeep dealership, as they may be able to acquire a catalog for you from which you can purchase the pocket watch of you choice. If you've checked your locality and still cannot find the item you want, then harness the power of the Internet! The Internet is a vast resource where you can find all the Jeep merchandise out there, including pocket watches.

** Pocket Watch Tip ** The Unitas brand of pocket watches was born in 1926, when Auguste Reymond named his movement blanks after the Unitas Watch Company he acquired. Reymond first went into business in 1898, but Unitas itself was not established until later.

Stores that carry Jeep merchandise, or specialty watch or jewelry stores are good places to start the search for your Jeep pocket watch. Alternatively, you can try an online auction site. You may not want a preowned Jeep pocket watch, however, often the products offered at online auctions are brand new.

A Jeep pocket watch is an attractive and convenient way to keep the time close. These pocket watches clip easily onto your belt loop and are durable and scratch resistant. If well-maintained, your Jeep pocket watch can last for years to come!
