Rare Hamilton “Merritt” men’s Art Deco wristwatch in 10K white gold fill, circa 1940.
The white “Merritt” was never listed in any Hamilton consumer sales catalogues. It is very rare... Hamilton records show that only 702 were produced. Hamilton researchers believe it was made to use up leftover early model 987 movements around the same time as the 10K gold filled Cushion B models. This example is in crisp, near mint condition with no brassing. Case steps and beveled edges are quite distinct. Caseback is superb and unengraved. The case measures 39mm long and 27mm wide. Refinished dial is excellent. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Hamilton grade 987 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
