Hamilton Accumatic A-506
If you were ever interested in a Hamilton watch that screams mid-to-late 1960's, this one of them! The Accumatic A-506 was produced from around 1965 through 1968. It's stylized numerals were a type seen on several well-known brands during this classic time period, dating the watch with relative precision itself. This piece is powered by a Hamilton caliber 689A (caliber 63), which is a base caliber ETA 2451, registering 17 jewels and 18,000 beats per hour. The textured, linen-type dial has a beautiful reflective shine to it, lending this piece to be dressed down for every day wear or dressed up for special occasions. It is truly an all-around classic Hamilton example from 50 years ago!

[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz-style watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance.
