I hear there has been a great deal of interest in the Mason. Wish one of the hamilton experts would tell us about the Mason and why the interest. Thanks-always trying to learn something new.

Lovely watch, and quite rare -- production records show 1,049 made in white gold-fill and 9,366 in yellow.

The dial appears to be incorrect, taken from a Turner. If you look at the shape of the minute track you'll see that it comes to something of a point at 9 and 3, which corresponds with the Turner but doesn't follow the contour of the Mason bezel. This dial design was not originally listed for the Mason.

Rene,
Thanks for the info. Was this dial only available with the Turner?

Yes, the dial on Samie's watch was intended for the Turner and only the Turner. While the Mason was available with a similar black enamel painted numeral dial, it is noticeably different than the one used on the Turner.
