Circa 1932-1934.
Featured here is a beautiful Hamilton Byrd in a 14K solid yellow gold handmade case with a luminous dial and luminous skeleton hands.  As part of the Explorer series, this Hamilton Byrd features the rare 401 movement and showcases a handmade 14K solid gold case.  According to Hamilton production records, only 285 were made in the yellow and 331 were made in white.  This particular timepiece was a presentation watch from the Federal Bureau of Investigations in 1933.  The watch sets and winds smoothly and includes brand I.W. Suisse genuine lizard straps in brown.  Beneath the dial is a grade 401 manual hand winding movement with 19 jewels that runs strong and kept good time over a 24 hour period.  The inside of the back case reads: Hamilton Watch Co., Lancaster PA., 14K, B-8037.  The case measures approximately 26mm wide (excluding the crown) x 39mm from lug end to lug end.  This is quite a rare model so make it part of your collection before it's gone!
