NEW!
This
is considered the rarest and
most sought after of ALL the HAMILTON ELECTRICS. Known as
the "ALTAIR; it was produced in 1961 with an estimated
production of only 1600 pieces. This watch is in very fine
shape for its age. There is always a bit of twisting damage
to the lugs where they connect to the case. The upper lug
exhibits some twist damage. This is a well known fact amongst
collectors who seek this watch and is documented in Rene Rondeau's
HAMILTON ELECTRIC reference book. Speaking of RENE RONDEAU;
this watch was fully serviced by him in April 2007. The caliber
505 HAMILTON ELECTRIC movement is quite accurate. The lower
bracelet clasp is not fastened tightly.... so please don't
rely on it to keep the watch on your wrist unless you decide
the crimp it. We are not going to "crimp" it or
touch it at all due to the rarity of this piece. My advice
is; to put this watch in a safe and not wear it due to its'
scarcity. The case is quite striking and modern in its' design;
which was certainly far ahead of its' time. There is only
minor wear on the rear highpoints of the buckle area of the
bracelet. The case condition is stellar! It is uncommon to
find these watches with their original and un-touched dial
and hands such as this. Also, just finding the original bracelet
on these watches is also EXTREMELY rare. This circa 1961 HAMILTON
also retains its' original winding crown. This is simply the
hardest of all the HAMILTON ELECTRICS to locate! Only $3995.
