Condition

The case shows light wear consistent with age, with the gold finish presenting nicely and no significant brassing on the bezel. The case back shows typical hairlines from prior openings but markings remain crisp and legible. The dial has aged gracefully with some light freckling/spotting that vintage collectors love. The movement is clean and ticks away healthily when wound.

A great entry into vintage American watchmaking and a rare chance to own one of Hamilton's stylish thin-line dress models. Ships securely packaged and insured.
