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 1925, features the 916 grade movement—a Hamilton in-house caliber with 17 jewels, produced exclusively between 1923 and 1928. The movement has been meticulously restored and enhanced with deep blue accents on its hardware, achieved through precise hand-applied thermal heating. The watch hands have been restored using the same process. The Hamilton dial is metal, showcasing a stunning circular motif at its center and bold numerals. The heat-blued hands stand out beautifully against the dial, creating a striking visual appeal.

The timepiece is housed in a 316L stainless steel wristwatch conversion case, designed with adjustable lugs for easy winding and setting while ensuring a comfortable fit for various wrist sizes. The case features 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. In keeping with our commitment to preserving history, the original 14-karat gold-filled case will also be included.
