Circa 1962.
Here we have a vintage asymmetrical Hamilton Altair showcasing a 10K yellow gold-filled case with a brushed finish sterling silver dial accompanied by baton style hands and a sweeping seconds hand. Arguably the most sought after model of the Hamilton electrics, this timepiece is quadruple signed by Hamilton visible on the dial, crown, case, and movement. The 505 electrical movement runs strong and kept good time over a 24 hour period with a fresh battery installed. The watch sets and winds smoothly with the hack function fully operational. The inside back case reads: Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA, 10K goldfilled, E82412. The case measures approximately 31mm wide x 41mm from lug end to lug end.
