Hamilton 17 jewel 916 conversion from 1923

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 manufactured in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and finished in 1923. It is powered by the 916 grade movement, which is a 17 jewel Hamilton in-house movement produced between 1923-1928. The movement has been restored and custom refinished with deep blue accents, and the movement screws have been finished in blue as well. The accents were created through thermally treating each movement part by hand to color the iron based components. The hands of the watch have been restored using the same thermal treatment process. The Hamilton dial is in excellent condition and features a beautiful circular motif. The watch is cased in a new silver-colored wrist watch conversion case so the watch can be enjoyed on your wrist. This case is designed with adjustable lugs making the watch easy to wind and set. The adjustable lugs also permit a more custom fit for different wrist sizes. The watch comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventure. Because of our dedication to preserving history, the original Hamilton-branded pocket watch case will be included.
