Circa 1964.
Featured here is a vintage Hamiltom M-Series watch called the M 79-3 in a 10K yellow rolled gold-plated case. The M-series watches were a different line of watches produced by Hamilton in the early to mid 1960s where the model numbers were actually the retail price followed by the production number for the model of that price. In this case, the M 79-3 would have originally retailed at $79 and was the third model released at the $79 price point. The sterling silver dial looks sharp with the gold markers and painted enamel numerals accompanied by the original hour, minute, and sweep second hands. The Hamilton name is hallmarked on dial, crown, case, and movement. Powering this watch is a Hamilton grade 688 manual hand winding movement with 17 jewels that runs strong and kept excellent time over a 24 hour period. The watch sets and winds smoothly and comes with the original band for this timepiece. The inside back case reads: Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA., 10KT R.G.P., D54261, 923564. The watch measures approximately 30mm wide x 34mm in overall length.
