Hamilton Electric Spectra 18K Gold Original Black Hamilton Employee Award Style Dial

Here's your chance to own a FULLY SERVICED (ultrasonic wash, rinse, and lubrication) 18K Solid Gold Hamilton Electric Spectra watch. Pictured in René Rondeau's book "The Watch Of The Future" on pages 157-158, it was released in July of 1957 with an original price of $150.00. It is signed on the dial, case, crown, and movement. 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. 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. The dial on this watch is special in that it has the large "H" below Hamilton. These dials were usually reserved for Hamilton Employee Award watches (see page 201 of "The Watch Of The Future"). This watch may have been customized by Hamilton for a special client or employee. Very few Spectras were made in 18K Gold for export. As a plus, the watch has had a NEW OLD STOCK D-PIN installed in the balance, so it will run virtually as it did from the factory.
