Circa 1942 Hamilton Emerson

Clean and Accurate 17J 980 Movement

Mounted on NOS Period Goatskin Leather


From my personal collection, this watch is super clean as seen. It is mounted on a rare and supple new old stock  1940's Goatskin leather band that is a match to the 1940's ad as seen (ad not included). Dial with applied 18K gold numerals is clean with very minimal even age toning and a couple small light perimeter spots under magnification. Crystal and case are clean showing little to no wear or marks.

Based on movement serial number, I believe it dates to 1942, but that is an educated guess.

I wound it up and wore it for 24 hrs prior to listing and it appeared to vary by less than 1 minute over that time period. Winds, sets and runs beautifully. A little bit of toning on band buckle.







I know the disappointment of purchasing a watch off eBay with vague mechanical description (it ticks) and fuzzy photos, and it is not what I expected. This makes me overly critical of watches I pass on to others. If a watch has flaws under 10X magnification, I call them out. Running condition is always based on at least 24 hrs of run time. If after 24 hrs run time; the watch needs to be adjusted, it's called out.

This is a used 84 year old vintage time piece that I do not know the service history of. I do not imply nor guarantee long term accuracy or continued operation. Watch is sold as-is under the assumption it needs to be serviced.  A professional evaluation and clean, oil, adjust (COA) service is recommended for daily wear and peak performance. Watch is sold as-is and as described.
