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.
