Circa 1955.
Here we have a vintage Hamilton model not often seen called the "Lloyd" featuring a 10K yellow gold-filled case with 18K gold numerals on a sterling silver dial. There have been a few quartz "re-issued" chronograph versions in recent decades paying homage to the original Lloyd but none of those versions' bezels can compare to the ornate craftsmanship that is showcased on this original version from the 1950s or replicate the era of mechanical movements. Beautifully designed resembling a Greek Ionic column from ancient times, the bezel corners curl inwards as if to support the stunningly simplistic dial adorned with Arabic style numerals. Powering this timepiece is a Hamilton 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 watch sets and winds smoothly and has been fitted with a new glass crystal and new rancho leather straps in brown. The inside case back reads LLOYD, Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA, 10K Goldfilled, R468541, Star W.C. Co. This watch measures approximately 28mm wide (excluding the crown) x 40mm from lug end to lug end.
