1940 HAMILTON USA 'Yorktown' Gents Dress Watch
Hamilton
empressissi™ is pleased to offer this gorgeous, early and fine quality American made HAMILTON dress watch for men from the mid 30s in design known as the YORKTOWN in gold filled with elegant Art Deco lines.
The watch houses one of the most common American made calibers - the famous 980 manual wind movement with sub seconds, running on 17 jewels. It is cased in a 14K gold filled long and narrow case with original acrylic crystal and good crown.
The dial is made of Sterling silver in 'butler' finish with applied solid gold numerals and is the original cold enamel finish. It has an original set of hands.
This Hamilton watch measures 21mm side to side (excluding crown) and 42mm from top lug to bottom lug and is modest in size even for vintage standards.
Attached to this watch is a brand new, quality slim genuine leather band in black tone, 14mm wide, with anti-allergic buckle in matching tone.
