Scarce Hamilton “Seckron” men’s Streamline Moderne Art Deco design doctor’s wristwatch in 14K yellow gold fill, circa 1941.

The “Seckron” is among the most recognizable and sought-after early Hamilton wristwatch models. Advertised as a professional watch for those needing split-minute precision, it was marketed especially to doctors and nurses. It uses an unusual variation of the grade 980 movement with a special gear train to drive the hands on the separate dial chapters. It was priced to consumers at $55.00 in 1941. This is the second design with the streamlined, curved case introduced in 1940, and is scarcer than the 1935 version. This example is in excellent condition with very light brassing to the lugs. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. The case measures 41mm long and 22mm wide. Original black dial is excellent, with just a few light marks. Has new glass crystal. Watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Hamilton grade 980B manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
