Circa 1928.
Here we have a luxurious timepiece produced by Hamilton when geometric models named after shapes made their debut in the early 1920s. Along with the Tonneau and Square, the Hamilton Oval is a must have for any Hamilton collection. What makes this particular wristwatch even more remarkable is the fact that the case is 14K solid white gold which is quite a rare treat to say the least! According to Hamilton records, roughly 164 were ever made.This is a beautiful version of the Hamilton Oval model with an engraved bezel accentuated with black enamel for an elegant finish. The refinished dial looks sharp and bold as with the skeleton hands that have been freshly luminated. The watch sets and winds smoothly and beneath the dial beats a geniune Hamilton grade 987-F manual hand winding movement with 17 jewels that has been cleaned, oiled, and timed for 24 hours. Serial on movement: 4215529. The inside back case reads: Hamilton Watch Co., Fahys, 14K Solid Gold, 290655. This watch measures approximately 29mm wide (excluding the crown) x 37mm from lug end to lug end.
