Circa 1971-1975.
This is as good as it gets! A highly sought after vintage Hamilton Chronomatic A featuring a NOS (new old stock) stainless steel case, NOS dial, and NOS hands. This chronomatic dial, often referred to as the "panda dial," is in excellent condition and showcases 2 large sub-registers with a date window at 6:00. The chronograph feature is fully funtional with the start & stop push button located on the upper right-hand side of the case with a reset push button below. 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 that was recently serviced and keeping excellent time over a 24 hour period. The Caliber 11 movement is the earliest of automatic chronograph movements and 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 36mm wide (excluding the crown) x 41mm from lug end to lug end and comes fitted with brand new genuine lizard straps in black. The back case has a purple protective film that can be removed if desired.
