1970s Hamilton Dateline UFO (Ref. 64046-3) Silver Dial

Hamilton was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1882 and initially specialized in producing pocket watches. The brand boasts a long and impressive history of breakthroughs in design and technology, and while probably best known for their military associations and fantastic field watches, they've put out some really remarkable outliers as well.

Case in point, this incredible Dateline UFO. So named because of its disc-like, lug-free case shape, this is an otherwise incredibly classic piece with an aged silver dial, oversized silver hands and hour markers, and that classic Hamilton understated style.
