What makes the Lancaster 079 unique: Today we happily present this fantastic example from the Hamilton Watch Company, our very own Lancaster 079. We love the aged motif of this dial along with the incredibly detailed design in the center. We appreciate the wear and tear that has accrued through the years, and really enjoy the look of the antique watch combined with our modern case that has this wonderfully crisp and clean facade. A bright nickel-plated crown and stout strap stand out and tie everything together nicely along with nickel-plated hardware and buckle. As we turn the watch over we are once again stunned by the tranquility of this 916-grade movement from Hamilton, showcasing their signature Geneva line design all across this large build plate. Copper accents are seen all throughout the text and fittings of all 17 screw-set jewels. Gold-plated gears and a brass balance wheel add to the precious metal that shows off inside of this movement. This watch was originally manufactured in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1924 by the Hamilton Watch Company. In the same year in the United States, the first foreign language course was broadcasted on the radio.
