Serviced May 2026, good silver dial, polished 10k rolled gold plate bezel, stainless steel case back, unworn genuine leather strap, NOS mineral glass crystal, alloy mainspring.
Hamilton produced the Clive for just one year in 1956 and was a rebranded Illinois Model C from 1953. The silver dial is original and has gold applied numerals and embossed markers with a painted sunken sub seconds at the 6 o'clock. The dial has some minor patina developing, notably around the outside edge. The paint for the bullseye, Hamilton logo, and Hamilton branding is excellent. 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. The case back still has the Illinois branding. The Swiss (AS) made 17 jewel movement was serviced May 2026 and is running well and currently performing at +/- 8 seconds per day.
