Hamilton Watch Co. was in operation from 1892-1969 and manufactured some of the highest end, most accurate watches ever produced. Manufacturing of Hamilton watches took place at their facility in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
This Hamilton timepiece, crafted in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and completed in 1926, is driven by the 922 grade movement—an in-house Hamilton caliber with 23 jewels produced between 1924 and 1930. The movement has undergone restoration and a personalized refinishing process, featuring distinctive blue accents, including the screws. These accents are achieved through hand thermally treating each component, imparting a blue hue to the iron-based parts. The watch hands have undergone the same heat treatment process. The Hamilton dial is in excellent condition, adorned with elegant golden applied indices that shimmer in the light. However, there is a small mark on the edge between the 10 and 11 o’clock indices.
The timepiece is encased in a 316L stainless steel wristwatch conversion case, designed with adjustable lugs for ease in winding and setting, ensuring a tailored fit across various wrist sizes. The case includes front, back, and crown gaskets, providing water resistance up to 50 meters, though it is recommended to remove the watch before participating in water activities. The timepiece comes fully serviced and ready for your upcoming adventures.
