Comments: The Nelson
is a member of the "first generation" to utilize Hamilton's
rectangular 980 17-jewel movement. It was also part of the
"curved to fit the wrist" series and was highlighted in the 1936
Catalog illustrating a side view emphasizing the Nelson's slight
curve.
The "curve to fit the wrist" series
utilized a two piece case construction with a moisture proof pendant
and crown feature. Gold-filled models included in this series
were the Cabot, Boone, Carson, Calvin and Bartley.
The Nelson was produced in yellow gold filled only.
