Circa 1969-1975.
Featured here is a vintage Hamilton Fontainebleau Chronomatic watch featuring a stainless steel case, Panda dial, 2 registers, and a 1/5 second recorder track. This original Fontainebleau Chronomatic model is in great condition with a start & stop push button located on the upper right side of the case and a reset button below that. Interestingly enough, the crown is on the left side of the case - something never before seen on Hamilton watches prior to the release of the Chronomatic series. Housed in the stainless steel case is a Caliber 11 automatic chronograph movement with 17 jewels the runs strong and kept excellent time over a 24 hour period. The Caliber 11 movement is the earliest of automatic chronograph movements. An end product by a collaboration between joint venture partners Heuer, Hamilton-Buren, Dubois-Depraz and Breitling back in 1969. The inside back case reads Hamilton Watch Co. Swiss and the watch is quadruple signed by Hamilton as seen on the case, movement, crown, and dial. This watch measures approximately 46mm wide (excluding the crown) x 41mm from top to bottom.
