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, and completed in 1932, features the 918 grade movement—a 19-jewel in-house movement produced by Hamilton between 1928 and 1936. The movement has been meticulously restored and refinished with deep blue accents, including the screws, achieved through the heating of each movement component by hand. The watch hands are in their original heat blued condition and have not been restored. The Hamilton dial is in excellent condition and features a unique guilloche bark design. The timepeice also has a secometer complication at the sub-dial. To achieve this complicatoin, the second hand has been converted to a second disc to display the passage of time. The secometer on this Hamilton timepiece is a unique and rare, setting it apart from other vintage watches.

The timepiece is housed in a new 316L stainless steel wristwatch conversion case, designed with adjustable lugs for easy winding and setting, ensuring a comfortable fit across various wrist sizes. The case is equipped with front, back, and crown gaskets, providing water resistance up to 50 meters, although we recommend removing the watch before water activities. The watch is fully serviced and ready for your upcoming adventures.
