Stock # HTNDD8260023 Brand Hamilton Style Automatic Day-Date Model 826002-3 Serial N/A Size Men's Material Stainless Steel Dial Grey / Blue Millimeters 37 Strap 2pc Handmade Leather Strap CASE & BRACELET The case of this fantastic Hamilton self-winding is blocky, short, and lightly worn. In other words, it's just about perfect. Measuring 37-millimeters the watch sits on the wrist with a beautiful balance and the sunburst brushed finish gives the watch a handsome presence. It features a screw-down case back for water resistance and is fitted to a gorgeous 2pc handmade leather strap. DIAL & HANDS It's easy to see the dial is the main event. The vertically grained inner dial is corralled by a stunningly designed baby blue and white outer minute track. The color play between the blue and the exquisitely aged cream tritium is otherworldly, with the red second's hand peaking through tritium lume plots being the cherry on top. In a rare twist, this Hamilton features not only the time, but also day and date, so this watch isn't just exceptionally beautiful but also particularly useful. The perfect pairing. ACCESSORIES None.
