I have a new purchase that I need to fund so some of my pieces have to go. I have recently sold my SMP and now I am offering this Hamilton.

This is one of Hamilton's higher end pieces and has some features not found on the usual Hammy. Its a really interesting watch that combines vintage style with some nice modern touches as well. It use a GMT movement and uses "sidereal time" to figure the time in different locations using airport codes on 2 inner rotating bezels operated by two separate crowns. The watch is anti magnetic and 1000 feet water resistant!

Neat little video I found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DYYu2TcamI

It is 42mm with 22mm lugs. Really nice anti reflective coating on the sapphire crystal as well. It currently runs at +3 seconds per day!

Condition is good. There a few little dings on the bezel at 11:00, 3:00 and 6:00. These were there from the previous owner but honestly didn't bother me as it sort of goes with the vintage vibe of the watch. There are also some light swirls on the caseback.

It comes with a box but no papers and the extra links for the bracelet. The bracelet is in excellent condition as I always wore the watch on straps.

Speaking of straps I have 2 Hirsch Terra straps that I bought for this watch. These are the ones Hirsch make for Panerai with "assoulamante" leather. They are very high quality and suit the vintage vibe of the Hamilton very well.

I will offer this as a package with both straps (new they are $80 each) and an RHD deployant clasp at $795 shipped and paypalled.

If you done want the straps and clasp then $650 for the watch and bracelet.

Thanks for looking.
