Hamilton Bradford - (Ref. 40993173/AS12169) Product Details
Overall Condition: Watch is in great condition throughout, showing signs of wear consistent with age and use.
A great, vintage gold dress watch is equal parts handsome and versatile.
Versatility, however, often plays second fiddle to looks. Sure, a dressy piece looks the business at the end of a well tailored suit cuff, but looks even better when paired with a great t-shirt and jeans!
Hamilton is perhaps best known to modern collectors for their historically significant tool watches. But during the golden age of American watchmaking, the brand was master of myriad watch forms, from railroad timers to dress watches fit for kings. Their catalogs from the 1950s and 1960s were filled with elegant, timeless, and innovative watches whose names have all but faded to obscurity.
The Hamilton Bradford, crafted for those who appreciate sophistication and style, is one such model. Introduced in the 1950s, the model is executed in 14k gold and preserved in stunning condition.
This particular iteration features a tidy, 34mm 14K yellow gold case, a domed acrylic crystal, and an unsigned crown. Super svelte on the wrist, this pretty piece will melt right into the wrist.
The dial, a lovely silver affair, features applied dimple indices and a matching ‘spear’ handset. Beating away at its core is a Hamilton Caliber 747 manual-winding movement for your everyday wearing needs.
A gold dress watch like this Hamilton Bradford, worn at the office, the cocktail bar, or while cutting the grass on the weekend, was a common sight in the 1950s. Versatile and fashionable, it deserves a second lease on life!
