Hamilton produced the Boyd 1962 through 1964. The sunburst silver dial is original and has gold applied numerals and engraved markers with a painted sub seconds bullseye at the 6 o'clock. The dial has some minor patina developing, notably at the 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock position. The paint for the bullseye, Hamilton logo, and Hamilton branding is mint. This style of dial was only offered with the 1963 and 1964 models. The hands appear to be original and show light patina. The bezel is 10k rolled gold bezel and has a stainless steel back. The bezel has been hand polished and shows some fine scratches. The case back also has fine scratching, consistent with age.
