Product Description

Hamilton Watch Company, which was a major American watch manufacturer that was known for its innovative designs and produced a wide range of high-quality timepieces from the late 19th century to the late 20th century. 
 
"The Barton is a dependably accurate timepiece for precise men."

HAMILTON 
1948 Barton  
14K GOLD 
U.S.A. Wristwatch 

This beautiful timepiece is a vintage Hamilton Baton wristwatch from 1948, produced exclusively between 1948 and 1952.

This manual-wind watch is powered by an original Hamilton mechanical movement, grade 982, model 980. It features 19 jewels, a sub-second hand, a 45-hour power reserve, and a frequency of 18,000 vph. Proudly made in the U.S.A.

What makes this timepiece even more remarkable is its movement family, 980/982, which was designed for high-grade, small-scale production. Approximately 1,400,000 pieces of this movement family (across all models) were produced between 1934 and 1954, making it a prized collector's item.

The original silver dial, which shows a touch of patina, features gold Arabic numerals, gold hour markers, and matching gold hands. A small seconds sub-dial is positioned at 6 o’clock, and the dial is signed "Hamilton" at the top. 

Cased in a 23x36mm rectangular case with a sophisticated 14K yellow gold construction and elegant "semi-hidden" lug design. It is paired with a stylish crystal. 

The watch is complemented by a brand-new black textured leather strap, sized to fit wrists up to 7" (17.8cm). Additionally, it includes its original Hamilton box. 

This Hamilton Baton is a timeless and attractive piece that runs flawlessly and keeps excellent time—an exquisite addition to any collection!

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 the 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.

Thank you for looking! 

Please, if you have Zero or Low feedback, please contact us prior.

Please be aware that the item you are bidding on or purchasing is a VINTAGE item. If this item is a watch, unless otherwise noted, it is keeping accurate time over a 2–4-hour time period. We specialize in watches that are 20-100 years old, and as such, these items are previously worn, and the quality of the item WILL reflect that. Expect for a vintage timepiece to have blemishes... this is part of what gives these amazing pieces their charm. Further, unless a watch specifically says that it has been recently serviced, expect that at some point in time, this timepiece will need a professional servicing in order to run and keep excellent time, which is also part of the experience of owning any mechanical watch. If an extremely accurate, worry-free experience is what you are seeking, we would recommend purchasing a new quartz watch. Very few, if any, vintage watches will keep as accurate time as a modern quartz watch.

We do our absolute best to take accurate photographs of our items and to show any blemishes.

Examples of common characteristics of a vintage timepiece are:
-imperfections on the crystal
-imperfections on case
-imperfections on the lugs
-unless stated that the strap is new, the leather is often quite old and may need replacing in the future
-metal bracelets may not include all of the links that the watch originally may have come with, but can be replaced with a bracelet or strap of your choosing

If the item is a piece of vintage jewelry, be aware that the item may have some minor blemishes such as:
-missing stones (view photos, we will NEVER photoshop in a missing stone or piece)
-minor scratches or discoloration
-fading of plating
-fading of paint

We do our best to take accurate photos and provide accurate descriptions.  Please take time to view our high-resolution photos of the item, and please ask any questions you may have prior to placing your bid.  We want this purchasing experience to be pleasant and surprise-free.  Vintage and antique items, unless "new old stock", have been around the block a time or two. 

Thank you for your business!  We hope to see you return in the future!
