HAMILTON 1951 GARY

 

"Tapering sides, bright as gold mirrors, give the Gary distinguished individuality."

This STUNNING timepiece is a Hamilton Eric wristwatch dated from 1951 and it was only produced for three years. It is a manual wind watch with a 17 jewel 8/0 size 747 movement, sub second, U.S.A. made. After 70 years, it still has a perfect two-tone finished sterling silver dial with 18K gold Arabic Numerals and dots, matching hands as well. The second hand is located at 6.

It has a very unique square case and fancy lugs design, all in 14K yellow gold filled. It is coming with the ORIGINAL leather strap signed by Hamilton too. The crystal is in excellent condition. Original Hamilton display box and Guarantee Certificate.

This Hamilton Eric wristwatch is in good condition, probably never worn. It is a very attractive looking watch! Runs very well and keeps great time!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm (some larger, some smaller) wide excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also somewhat smaller than today’s offerings in many cases. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust light, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.
See all the photos, feel free to ask questions if you have any.

It will be carefully packed.
