1948 HAMILTON Brandon

"A strikingly new case design for all-purpose wear. The Brandon."

"In 1948 Hamilton introduced the first of several new watch models in the "CLD" line.  CLD phonetically spells out "sealed" and the CLD models featured a series of gaskets that brought environmental protection of a watch to a whole new level."

(Sealed) against moisture and dirt.

This UNIQUE timepiece from 1948, Brandon, is the first CLD model wristwatch by Hamilton Watch Co., offering different lug models: flexible lugs and lugs fixed to the case. This listing is a handsome vintage watch in a 10K yellow gold filled rectangle case featuring the fixed lug design. It is a manual wind vintage watch, grade 980, sized 14/0, 17 jewels movement, sub second, U.S.A. made. This Brandon has a beautiful butler-finished silver dial that is a champagne in color (showing some patina) with 18K solid gold Arabic numerals, featuring a new black leather strap.

After 70 years, it is still in great condition! A very attractive looking watch that runs very well and keeps great time!
