I am selling my newly restored custom Hamilton Electric Meteor mens wrist watch. The watch case has been custom rhodium plated (the color of white gold). The movement completely restored by Jarett Harkness and is still under warranty.The inside of the case back is marked S&W, and  Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster, PA, S523632.The movement 505 electric, marked Hamilton 505, Patented ADJ, U.S.A. The watch size is 29mm without crown, and 40mm lug to lug . I placed a brand new genuine leather black band with yellow gold colored clasp - extra large in size, and the crystal is brand new. The crown also is custom plated and marked with the "H" logo  The hands have been replated -  daulphine hour and minute hands with correct black inserts, and red tipped pointer seconds handHere's your chance to own a FULLY SERVICED (ultrasonic wash, rinse, and lubrication) Hamilton Electric Meteor watch.  Known as  "The Watch Of The Future" the Meteor was released in June 1960 with an original price of $125 with metal band, and $110 with leather strap.  It is quadruple signed on the dial, case, movement, and crown.  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. This watch will run for many years to come.The Meteor is one of the rarest of the Hamilton Electrics, with an estimated production of about 3000.  It exemplifies the futuristic styling philosophy of Richard Arbib.  The "Space Race" was on, and what better way to represent the future than a watch named Meteor.Please note that this watch was fully restored and warranted by Jarett Harkness.Payment is due no later than three days after auction ends. Shipping is on me.Please email with questions.
