HAMILTON
Grade 980 U.S.A.
This is a stunning timepiece, a Hamilton wristwatch dated from 1946. It is a manual wind watch, grade 980, 17 jewels movement, sub second, U.S.A. made. After 75 years, it still has a beautiful champagne dial with gold Arabic Numerals and hands. Very unique case and lugs design, all in 10K natural gold filled. It is coming with a vintage brown nylon strap. This watch is in lovely condition, it is a very attractive looking watch! Runs very well and keeps great time!
Something interesting to add to make this timepiece more special, the family 980/982 was designed for high-grade small-scale production and about 1,400,000 pieces (all models) were produced between 1934-1954.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm (some larger, some smaller) wide excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also somewhat smaller than today’s offerings in many cases. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust light, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.
See all the photos, feel free to ask questions if you have any.
It will be carefully packed.
