[WTS] Hamilton Converta III Electric
[WTS] Hamilton Converta III Electric
This is a very special watch from 1959. and I’m willing to take offers for it. It is equipped with the Hamilton Electric 500 movement, the first publicly sold electric watch movement ever. Super beautiful design on dial, deco style and stylized luminous hands. The only sign of wear are the phantom hands where they were for probably decades. The movement is perfectly clean and simply had a battery replacement in the past year. Last photo is for size reference.
