Hamilton Flight II
Scarce Hamilton "Flight II" men's Space Age design wristwatch in 10K yellow gold fill, circa 1960.
Among the most sought-after of Hamilton's futuristic designs of the 1960s, the "Flight II" has a bold Space Age asymmetric design case with a large boomerang lug attachment at the top. The top lug has a textured finish that is continued onto the left side of the bezel. Price at $95.00 in 1960, the "Flight II" was apparently not a popular watch with consumers, and few were sold. This example is in crisp, excellent condition with only a few tiny specks of brassing to the tips of the lugs. Caseback is excellent and unengraved, with a minor touch of wear under the crown. The case measures 34mm long and 37mm wide. Original gold champagne sunburst finish dial is excellent, with some very light spotting. Has solid 14K gold applied numerals and markers. Has new acrylic crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 22-jewel Hamilton grade 770 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
