This vintage Hamilton pocket watch is a true piece of American history. Manufactured in the 1940s, it boasts an open-faced military timer style in durable stainless steel. The watch features an original silvered dial with Arabic numerals and stunning blued steel hands, all preserved in excellent condition.
What's more, the watch still bears the military markings on its case back, adding another layer to its historical significance. With its manual winding movement and 17 jewels, this pocket watch keeps accurate time and can be part of your everyday life.
Included with the watch is a matching pocket watch chain, making it a complete set for any collector or enthusiast. It's worth noting that Hamilton ship chronometers were once a fixture in all American naval vessels during World War II, thanks to their precision.
In fact, the success of the Hamilton chronometer was such that the Russian military even copied it, and their ships were equipped with similar timepieces until the 1980s. This makes this vintage Hamilton pocket watch all the more remarkable, as it represents a piece of American horological history that has truly stood the test of time.
With a warranty of 18 months on the movement, it's both a wise investment and an heirloom that can be passed down for generations to come.
