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 was crafted in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1928, the final year of production for this model. It is powered by the 916 grade movement, an in-house Hamilton caliber with 17 jewels, produced between 1923 and 1928. The watch has undergone meticulous restoration and personalized refinishing. The movement features striking blue accents, including screws treated with thermal techniques to achieve a blue hue. The original watch hands have been preserved to maintain the timepiece's historical charm. The Hamilton dial, in excellent condition, has a porcelain-enamel finish with bold numerals that enhance contrast and depth for easy time-telling.
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.
