A seldom encountered Hamilton Whitman, this example was offered for only a brief one-year production run. Its elongated case is finished in 10K natural gold fill and houses an attractive original sterling silver dial highlighted by raised 18K gold numerals. Driving the watch is Hamilton’s reliable 17-jewel Grade 980 hand-wound movement, recently serviced and observed to maintain solid timekeeping over the course of a full day. The crown action is smooth both when winding and setting the hands. Measuring roughly 38mm from top to bottom and 21mm across, the watch retains elegant proportions typical of Hamilton’s late Art Deco designs. It is paired with a supple Hamilton pigskin strap and accompanied by an unusual wartime “shortage” presentation box, made from substitute materials used during wartime production limitations rather than the standard prewar construction.
