Hamilton “Nelson” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K yellow gold fill, circa 1936.

The “Nelson” was in the very first group of Hamilton wristwatches which debuted in the spring of 1935 with the new 14/0 size grade 980 movement. It was priced to consumers at $52.50. It has a sharply stepped and angled bezel, making it one of Hamilton’s most dramatic high Art Deco designs. This example is in crisp, excellent condition with only a few specks of brassing to the highpoints of the bezel corners. Caseback is excellent and unengraved, with one faint scratch. The case measures 38mm long and 22mm wide. Original dial is excellent. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 17 jewel Hamilton grade 980 movement.
