Harry J. Hyaduck Sr.1988 Version of the Hamilton Ventura
1988 VERSION OF THE HAMILTON VENTURA!Mine is like new, complete with all boxes outer box and watch box, original tag and warranty card.
WHEN TODAYS SWATCH GROUP BOUGHT HAMILTON THEY WERE LOOKING FOR NEW DESIGNS BUT INSTEAD DECIDED TO REINTRODUCE ONE OF THE CLASSIC DESIGNS MADE POPULAR BY ELVIS PRESLEY, ROD SERLING AND OTHER HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES.
THE ORIGINAL 1957 HAMILTON VENTURA ELECTRIC WAS A BEAUTIFUL WATCH BUT THE ELECTRIC MOVEMENTS WERE REALLY NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION BUT HAMILTON WENT AHEAD ANYWAY AND HAMILTON HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 1957 HAMILTON VENTURA ELECTRIC.
THIS QUARTZ VERSION IS MUCH MORE DEPENDABLE BUT IS GOLD PLATED NOT SOLID GOLD AS THE 1957 VENTURA. THE LATER VERSIONS OF THE VENTURA SPORTED STAINLESS STEEL BODIES.
THE VENTURA WATCH, THE OTHER BOX, THE WATCH CASE BOX ARE ALL IN PERFECT CONDITION.
THIS VENTURA ALSO HAS THE PRICE TAG SHOWING THE ORIGINAL SELLING PRICE IN 1992 BUT IT IS NOT IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE CORD HAS BECOME FRAID. ALL THE ORIGINAL PAPERWORK IS WITH THIS WATCH INCLUDING THE TWO YEAR WARRANTY CARD, THE HARRIS JEWELER SALES SLIP, THE ORIGINAL HAMILTON AND ITS NETWORK SLIP, AND A PINK AND A WHITE COPY OF THE SALES SLIP.
Thank you,
Harry
