This piece has the most attractive satin burst gold -effect dial that changes with light and angle. The dial is in mint, original condition, The design and quality equal to a watch in the £1000s - Notes of Vacheron - Piaget and Even Patek!  The dial is signed with the Hamilton name and logo at 12 o'clock.  The hours are indicated by slim Roman numerals and internal minute track.


The hands are simple straight and black, fitting the margins of the watch well. No seconds hand on this model but not missed and enables the slim design to be achieved.
