Restoration Thoughts / Notes:
- Tonneau Case Design: The curved tonneau case gives this watch a distinctive look, reflecting the stylish designs of the late 1930s.
- Seconds Subdial: The small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock adds a practical yet charming detail to the dial’s layout.
- American-Made Movement: Powered by the reliable Hamilton 987A, a 17-jewel hand-wound movement, it’s a testament to the quality of American watchmaking from that era.
