___________________________
Comments:
The Wayne was offered as one of a new series of 14K solid gold
Hamiltons containing the newly introduced 982 19-jewel movement.
This new design series was constructed "curved to fit the wrist" and
even included a unique curved dial as well.
All early 982 solid gold Hamilton's
are scarce and the Wayne is no exception. The Wayne only appears in
the 1935 Hamilton catalog and along with the Donovan, is the rarest
of the first generation 982 gold models. Interestingly, the Wayne
and the Donovan share the same case manufacturer and both cases
share many of the same case design features.
The Wayne was offered in 14K yellow
gold only.
