This Perry features an American made 982 caliber manual mind movement with 19 jewels. The serial number J509453 indicates it was produced in 1949. The dial has been refinished in a glass black with applied gold numerals. The gilt painted minute track, sub seconds, and Hamilton logo is in excellent condition.
