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 1936 and features the renowned 922-grade movement. The 922 is an in-house Hamilton caliber with 23 jewels, produced exclusively from 1924 to 1936—making this piece one of the last 922s ever produced by Hamilton on American soil. The movement has been fully restored and refinished, with stylish blue accents on the screws and hardware achieved through precise thermal coloring, completed by hand. The watch hands remain in their original golden color, as applied by Hamilton at the time of manufacture, and have not been restored. The Hamilton dial, in excellent condition, features the iconic phrase “Ask the man who owns one,” with the Hamilton logo below the center. The applied golden indices catch the light beautifully, creating a striking contrast with the golden hands, which play off the indices in different lighting conditions.

The timepiece is housed in a 316L stainless steel conversion case, designed with adjustable lugs to facilitate easy winding and setting while ensuring a tailored fit for various wrist sizes. The case includes front, back, and crown gaskets, providing water resistance up to 50 meters; however, it is recommended to remove the watch before engaging in water activities. The timepiece comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventures.
