My Hamilton

[DanG]

I see there may need to be another thread where we show our Hamiltons?

This is my hamilton which has the Lemania 1873 movement.
My other Hamilton is an L.L.Bean field watch.

When I purchased this watch from a guy in Italy, my communication with Hamilton seemed to indicate that many watches were not sold in North America. Perhaps someone else can verify that impression?

Another question - someone else here showed some Hamiltons with a similar looking bezel and it was called an officer watch? Does this bezel denote officer?

Shall we show the watch?

Wow, first time for me to see one of those! Very nice, it has an interesting dial and colour scheme. What does the back look like?

Yes - the dial color was unique to me and I liked it.
I used to see one on ebay in the bahamas but have not seen it lately so someone probably purchased it.
Also, I like it being manual wind - I really am not fond of automatic movements. I mean, it takes all of 20 seconds to wind a watch - I have 20 seconds to do that, rather than depend on automatic winder.
The back is solid stainless engraved with Hamilton logo, and also 1873 indicating movement.

Yes, that definitely makes it more special. Nice one and thanks for sharing. :-!
