Hamilton Watch Co. “Wilson” Masterpiece series, 1955-1968. In the late 1950’s Hamilton developed
a Masterpiece series of reissued classic watches, typically with award engravings on the back. The original Wilson was produced
from 1954-1960; the engraving on the back of this watch is from 1965. A manual-wind in 10 kt yellow gold fill, silver dial with
sub-seconds dial, applied gold numerals, new glass crystal. Masterpiece watches typically used Hamilton’s best movement, the
22-jewel Grade 770, as found here; however, this movement is running but the hands won’t set. Will need service. Genuine
crocodile strap. $150-$250.
