Hamilton Electric Spectra With Box & Strap
Here's your chance to own a FULLY SERVICED (ultrasonic wash, rinse, and lubrication) 14K Solid Gold Hamilton Electric Spectra watch. Pictured in René Rondeau's book "The Watch Of The Future" on pages 157-158 and 201, it was released in July of 1957 with an original price of $150.00. It is signed on the dial, case, movement, crown, strap and buckle. It runs great and keeps time to well under 30 seconds variation per day and has a brand new battery just installed. The hack function works properly, and the watch starts right up each time the crown is pushed in from the setting position to the running position.
The Spectra was the third watch in the Electric series, following the Ventura and Van Horn. This one is the complete package with rare early box and original tan strap with 14K Buckle. In addition, it has the original purchase receipt dated to December 6th, 1957. It was no doubt bought as a Christmas gift. This "time capsule" package was serviced & verified by René Rondeau in 2013 and has been safely stored since that time. It has a great asymmetrical touch, in that the case is broader and thicker at the 12 position. The lines radiating out from the dial at the 6 position compliment the case shape, and give this watch a classic look that is sure to turn heads. Don't let this one get away.
