Circa 1962.
Here we have a vintage asymmetrical Hamilton Altair showcasing a 10K yellow gold-filled case with a brushed finish sterling silver dial accompanied by baton style hands and a red tipped sweeping seconds hand. Arguably the most sought after model of the Hamilton electrics, the mesh bracelet is original for the timepiece and the case looks very sharp and a fresh battery has been installed. The watch is quadruple signed Hamilton visible on the dial, crown, case, and movement. The 505 electrical movement has been cleaned and kept good time over a 24 hour period. The watch sets and winds smoothly with the hack function fully operational. The inside back case reads: Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA, 10K goldfilled, E78239. The case measures approximately 31mm wide x 41mm from lug end to lug end.
