Hamilton True Time information requested
Does anyone have any info on the "Hamilton True Time"? I have done a few searches and come up with nothing. I have a dial but I don't know what to put it on. "Hamilton True Time" is in block letters so I have the years narrowed down but I don't know which 16 size model it goes on. I suspect a 974.

It would help if you could post a picture.


Best Regards,

Thank you Dave. Here is a picture Ed. Now if one of out Hamilton experts know anything about why or how Hamilton used this dial a little history would be of great help.

Harry,

The link that Dave posted is probably a fairly accurate example of what I would envision the dial being on...

974 with a serial # having a manufacturing date of 1918 and later making the Block letter script correct. The example given has a serial # 1590669 dating from roughly 1922.

Thank you Jon. I need to look through my 974 movements to see if I have a movement after 1918. Does anyone think a 974 Special would have had this dial?
