Hamilton
1970s Hamilton Automatic Day-Date Gold Cap (Ref. 825011-4)
Hamilton was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1882 and boasts a long and impressive history of breakthroughs in design and technology. While probably best known for their military associations and fantastic field watches, they've put out some really remarkable—and sometimes incredibly unique—outliers as well.
Case in point, this extremely '70s day-date. The chunky, gold-capped, shield-shaped case, gold and black dial, and quirky day-date setup all come together perfectly to offer a very unique—and uniquely affordable—time capsule.

The lume in the hands matches the dial perfectly and no degradation is present in the dial of hands.
