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 made in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1935 and is powered by the 918 grade movement—a Hamilton in-house caliber with 19 jewels, produced exclusively from 1928 to 1936. The movement components were refinished with stylish blue accents on the screws and hardware through precise hand-thermal treatment using traditional watchmaking techniques. The watch hands have not been restored and are in their original heat-blue color. The metal Hamilton dial showcases a stunning sunburst finish, complemented by applied golden indices that catch and reflect light beautifully. The heat-blued hands provide exceptional contrast, enhancing the dial's elegance and readability.
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. In keeping with our dedication to preserving history, the original 14-karat gold-filled pocket watch case will be included as well.
