Scarce Hamilton “Coronado” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in solid 14K white gold with black enamel bezel, circa 1929.
Among the most desirable of the early Hamilton models, the “Coronado” has fantastic Art Deco stylized Arabic numerals set in black enamel and hinged lugs. With only 2,407 examples produced in white gold, it is a very difficult watch to find today. The example is in excellent condition showing very little wear. Black enamel bezel is excellent with only some light scratches and flaking overall, but no major scratches, chips, or gouges. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. Bottom lug has a tiny nick between 5 and 6. Case measures 43mm long and 29mm wide. Dial has been beautifully restored to its correct original appearance with a silver Butler finish. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 19 jewel Hamilton grade 979-F adjusted movement.
