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, in 1928, is powered by the 912 grade—a 17-jewel in-house movement produced from 1923 to 1937. Every movement component has been meticulously refinished, featuring elegant blue accents on the screws and hardware, achieved through precise open-flame thermal coloring using traditional watchmaking techniques (read more here). The jewel settings, gear train, balance, and balance weights were each individually hand-polished to restore their original golden luster and sheen. The watch hands remain unrestored, preserving their original manufactured condition with a rich heat-plum finish. The Hamilton dial is metal with numerals cut directly into its surface, creating a dynamic play of light as it moves. Its rich copper-like hue pairs beautifully with the plum hands, giving the watch a striking, elegant look.

The timepiece is housed in a new 316L stainless steel wristwatch conversion case, designed with adjustable lugs for easy winding and setting, ensuring a comfortable fit across various wrist sizes. The case is equipped with front, back, and crown gaskets, providing water resistance up to 50 meters, although we recommend removing the watch before water activities. The watch is fully serviced and ready for your upcoming adventures.
