Hamilton “Lexington” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in stainless steel, circa 1941.
The “Lexington” was Hamilton’s first stainless steel wristwatch, and although it has a round case, it is powered by the rectangular grade 980 movement. The “Lexington” was marketed for military use and was priced at $42.50 in 1941. This example is in excellent condition with a nice crisp case which still has some of its alternating polished and satin finish. The caseback is excellent and unengraved, with some light scratches. Case measures 36mm long and 28mm wide. Original black dial is superb. This is the nicest original black “Lexington” dial I have ever offered. Has new glass crystal. The watch has a 17-jewel Hamilton grade 980 movement.
