Thin-model stainless steel (SS) round water-resistant case with a narrow bezel supporting a flat-topped plastic crystal, a Hamilton marked crown and slender faceted extended lugs, this model of case accessed the movement by removing the crystal which makes for a highly water resistant design, case is showing normal even wear with some light scuffing and a small spot of discoloration on the bezel, additionally there are a number of short but deep scratches on the back cover from improper opening attempts, measures approx. 33mm in diameter x 39mm lug to lug x 8mm thick (crystal included), padded black leather strap band with a center recessed stitching accent and rounded designs near each set of lugs. This watch also comes with a black leatherette Hamilton box with a white satin and black velvet interior with a fitted removable wrist watch display, this is a modern Hamilton box and likely not original to the watch. A very attractive Hamilton watch from the 1970s in excellent overall condition!
