Circa 1909-1910.
A fine example of early strap watches for men is this vintage Hamilton 0-size Military Aviation model watch in a sterling silver round case featuring a seldom seen version of the porcelain dial with large block numerals, onion crown, and fixed wire lugs. Used by U.S. mail aviators, this wonderful military aviation timepiece measures approximately 34mm wide (excluding the crown) x 37mm from lug end to lug end. Beneath the dial is an adjusted 0-size 983 manual hand winding movement with 17 jewels that runs strong and has been timed for 24 hours. This nickel finish movement features a reed regulator, ruby and sapphire jewels, a Breguet hairspring, and adjustments to temperature, isochronism, and 3 positions. There are only light scratches on the case and inside back case reads: Fahys, Sterling, 1023844.
