Hamilton Bradford Diamond Dial 14K
Rare Hamilton “Bradford Diamond Dial” men’s Retro Modern design wristwatch in solid 14K white gold with diamond dial, circa 1957.
Although the standard “Bradford” model isn’t hard to find, it is quite rare in white gold with a factory diamond dial. Hamilton offered diamond dials on a select few of its high-end gold and platinum models in the late 1950s. The "Bradford" was priced at $300.00 with the diamond dial, twice as expensive as the standard "Bradford" with the regular dial. This is the only the second example I have ever offered. This example is in excellent condition showing only very light wear. Edges of the stepped lugs are distinct. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. The case measures approximately 40mm long and 33mm wide. Original dial is superb, has 11 factory-set high-quality diamonds. Has new acrylic crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 22-jewel Hamilton grade 770 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong
