Hamilton Engineer Corps No. 690 military Yellow Gold Filled Case Lever Set 1915
Posted by in hamilton
Antique Hamilton Engineer Corps U. 690 on its enamel double recessed dial in excellent condition but with hairline under the no. Lever set mechanism works Lever by the red number 5. Yellowed plastic crystal detracts from its appearance. Bezel snaps closed properly; good hinge. Excellent yellow gold filled case has two small dings on bezel in area below the second bit. Back of case is outstanding. 1298477 dates this to about 1915. YGF case is Hamilton 25 year no. Winds “forever” so I assume it needs a new mainspring. Movement Size 16, 21 jewels. Case diameter is approx. 49 mm, excluding crown/bow assembly. No photo of movement because it does not swing out easily and I’m not about to force it. Maybe stem needs to be removed before it swings out – just a guess, I’m not a watchmaker. Registration may be required for some countries. Four photos just added show movement; Adjusted to five positions; model 992. Beautiful movement with balance moving freely. Hamilton 25 year case. That one had a good mainspring; it was in a base metal Keystone case; this is in a 25 year Hamilton yellow gold filled case.
