Watchmakers term….jewels (usually saphire ,in rare cases diamonds) were bearings to
prevent wear. A watch with jewels at every location where a jewel was appropriate was
said to be fully jeweled. Advertising implying your outboards were "Fully Jeweled" emphasized
the use of ball and roller bearings feature and implied your product had precision and quality
of a fine watch.
