Military-Issued Tornek-Rayville TR-900 Dive Watch
The Tornek-Rayville TR-900 was produced for the U.S. Navy in the 60s, with this particular model was issued in 1966. But it wasn't until 1988 that the watch made it on the wrist of EOD tech Lt. Brian S. Economy. He was given the diver by a supply officer and it was used solely for military operations, including his deployments in Central America, Iraq, and Somalia, as well as while working with his sea mine-hunting dolphin named Nino. Only 1,000 watches were produced, making this one a rare collector's item. Along with the timepiece, the lot includes a letter from the President of the United States appointing Brian S. Economy as Lieutenant of the United States Navy, his dog tags, the Liberation of Kuwait medal, a ribbon from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and other memorabilia. The auction begins on June 9, 2023, at 10 a.m.
