1961 Hamilton Boatswain II

Serviced September 2018, good embossed silver dial with honest patina, polished 10k rolled gold case, stainless steel back, vintage 10k GF gold expansion bracelet, Omega replacement crown.

Hamilton produced the Boatswain II from 1961 through 1964. The dial on this example is silver with honest, even patina across the dial. The track behind the gold applied numerals is embossed, sometimes referred to as "record finish" as the concentric grooves resemble the grooves in vinyl records. The paint for the Hamilton logo is in mint condition. The paint for the minute track does have some fading evident between the 1 and 2, otherwise is in great shape. The Swiss made caliber 678 movement was serviced September 2018 and is running strong and currently performing at +/- 32 seconds per day.
