Comments:
Although Hamilton records indicate that over 3,000 Winslow's were
produced, the Winslow is rarely found today. Its scarcity may
be in part due to the fact that it is often thought to be a woman's
watch since it utilizes a cord band instead of a leather strap or
metal bracelet. Additionally, it was more difficult to replace
the leather cord once replacement needed thereby shortening the
watch's usable life.
Generally, woman's watches are not as
collectable as men's watches and subsequently, many Winslow's may
have been discarded or cannibalized for parts.
The Winslow only appears in the 1935
Hamilton catalog and apparently, was not popularly received.
Like the Donavan which was
also introduced in 1935, the Winslow used a leather cord strap and
looped gold lugs which may have been considered feminine at the
time, subsequently adding to this models unpopularity.
The Winslow was offered in 14K yellow
gold-filled only.
