The watch has a 17-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. This is a good quality movement, calibre 910, which has screw set jewels, swan neck micro regulator, and nicely patterned plates. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 1788533 which dates it back to 1914.
The watch measures 47mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The case is gold filled and it is in lovely condition. There is a glass inspection lens to the back which is in good condition, as is the front glass lens.
The signed dial has a little spider of short hairlines above the Hamilton name but they are faint. Blued steel hands.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
