This is Hamilton wristwatch is a gorgeous vintage wristwatch, named Myron. The Hamilton Myron wristwatch was produced in coral (rose gold) gold-filled for a single year in 1941. In 1946, the Hamilton Myron, this time in yellow gold and gold-filled, was reintroduced through 1951.
It is a manual wind watch powered by Hamilton's U.S.A.-made 17 jewel movement, size 14/0, caliber grade 980, with a sub second.
It has the original sterling silver finished dial (showing some patina) with gold-applied Breguet numerals, with a bold minute track and matching gold hands. The dial is signed with the Hamilton name and the sub-second is located at 6. The tank/tonneau-shaped case measures 22.5 x 28mm with a fancy lug design, in 10K yellow gold fill.
It comes on a beautiful new, brown, two-piece leather strap with a gold buckle.
This is a very handsome and classic timepiece that is still running and keeping excellent time!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have. It will be carefully packed.
