1972 Hamilton Dateline A-593
Serviced December 2022, Swiss made automatic movement, quick change date, mint sunburst silver dial with silver and orange applied markers, hand polished stainless steel case and screw down case back, unworn genuine leather strap, signed crown, NOS acrylic crystal.
Hamilton introduced the Dateline series of watches in 1963. The lineup included automatic as well as manual wind movements, but all models had a calendar complication. The Dateline A-593 model was introduced in 1972 and produced through 1974. It came with a Swiss (ETA) made automatic 822 caliber movement, with the date at the 6 o'clock. The radially brushed silver dial on this example is in mint condition with no visible patina. The applied silver and orange markers are excellent. The hour markers have been relumed. The paint for the Hamilton logo, selfwinding branding, and minute and second track is also mint. The orange and silver hands are very good and have also been relumed. The black sweep second hand is mint. The crown is signed. The watch is ready to wear on an unworn brown genuine leather strap with contrasting stitching. The Swiss (ETA) made 822 automatic movement was fully serviced December 2022 and is running well and currently performing at +/- 17 seconds per day.
