Circa 1955-1958.
Featured here is a very rare and desirable Hamilton Viscount in a 14K sold yellow gold case with a refinished black sterling silver dial and 18K applied gold markers and correct gold Dauphine hands. The square case is signified with triangular "V" lugs and measures approximately 28mm in width (excluding the crown) x 43mm from lug end to lug end. This is a well preserved timepiece that comes with a new crystal and new leather straps. The case is in exquisite condition with only very light scratches visible when magnified. Like a few of the Hamilton's, some of their cases were not well built like others. This watch like the Altair had some lugs issues. The lugs were strengthened by a jeweler. Beneath the dial is a high grade 770 manual hand winding movement with 22 jewels that has been cleaned, oiled, and kept good time over a 24 hour period. The inside case reads: Viscount, Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA., 14K Gold, B28170.
