Circa 1958-1960.
This is a luxurious timepiece from Hamilton called the Carteret in a 14K solid yellow gold case with 14K gold numerals and squares on a sterling silver dial. This is a sharp looking wristwatch inside and out with a case that measures approximately 27mm in width (excluding the crown) x 37mm from lug end to lug end. The crown sets and winds smoothly and the watch kept great time over a 24 period thanks to a high grade Hamilton 770 manual hand winding movement with 22 jewels that has been cleaned, oiled, and bench timed for 24 hours. The watch is quadruple signed by Hamilton as seen on the dial, crown, movement and case. There are only light scratches seen when magnified which is typical wear for vintage wristwatches in general. The inside back case reads: Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA., 14K Gold, R831691, Star W.C. Co. A truly elegant watch that sits nicely on the wrist, this Hamilton Carteret is sure to please!
