Hamilton 992E from 1930

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 pocket watch was manufactured in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and was finished in 1930. It is powered by the 992E grade movement, which is a 21 jewel Hamilton in-house movement that is railroad chronometer grade produced between 1930-1940. 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 not been restored and are in their original blue steel finish. The Hamilton dial is porcelain-enamel and in excellent condition featuring Arabic Numerals and a bold ‘Hamilton’ logo. The watch is cased in its original pocket watch case that is 10 karat gold filled. If desired, this timepiece can be transferred to a new case with a see through caseback. The watch comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventure.
