1970s Hamilton Dateline UFO (Ref. 64046-3) Silver Dial

Product Details

Hamilton was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1882 and initially specialized in producing pocket watches. The brand boasts a long and impressive history of breakthroughs in design and technology, and while probably best known for their military associations and fantastic field watches, they´ve put out some really remarkable outliers as well.

Case in point, this incredible Dateline UFO. So named because of its disc-like, lug-free case shape, this is an otherwise incredibly classic piece with an aged silver dial, oversized silver hands and hour markers, and that classic Hamilton understated style.
