Comments:
As America was slowing emerging from the Great Depression, Hamilton
introduced a new line of low-priced watches in an effort to motivate
the public to begin buying watches once again. This line of 10K
gold-filled watches included the Dixon, Drake, Lawrence, Mason,
Morley, Scott and Turner, as well as the Watson.
The Watson was made in yellow gold
filled only and offered in two dial variations - applied gold
numeral dial or with gold finish black numeral dial as shown. The
gold finish black numeral dial as pictured above is the scarcer of
the two offerings.
