Thanks for looking, we are SECOND HAND HOROLOGY! Anti-Magnetic - Shock-Resistant - Water-Resistant. Only produced from 1956 through 1958 and very rare to find now, this is a vintage Hamilton from the 1950s K-Series, the Automatic K-456. It has a self-winding watch with a self-winding gear from beryllium bronze movement, caliber Hamilton 661 (Certina 25-45), 17 jewels, sweep second, Swiss made. Cased in 34mm round case, fancy lugs and stepped fixed bezel design; 10K yellow gold-filled case/bezel and stainless-steel back.

In beautiful condition, the original champagne and luminous dial with gold Arabic Numerals and luminous dot hour markers, bold minute tracks, and matching dauphine luminous hands. It is coming with a brand-new black alligator Genuine Leather two-piece strap. This watch is still in LOVELY condition!

Runs very well, keeps great time! Case Diameter with Crown: 34.4. Case Lug to Lug: 37.3. Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches.

Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch.

If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye.

Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have. It will be carefully packed. Please view our other listings. If this item is a watch, unless otherwise noted, it is keeping accurate time over a 2-4-hour time period.

We specialize in watches that are 20-100 years old, and as such, these items are previously worn, and the quality of the item WILL reflect that. Expect for a vintage timepiece to have blemishes...

This is part of what gives these amazing pieces their charm. Further, unless a watch specifically says that it has been recently serviced, expect that at some point in time, this timepiece will need a professional servicing in order to run and keep excellent time, which is also part of the experience of owning any mechanical watch.

If an extremely accurate, worry-free experience is what you are seeking, we would recommend purchasing a new quartz watch. Very few, if any, vintage watches will keep as accurate time as a modern quartz watch.

We do our absolute best to take accurate photographs of our items and to show any blemishes. Examples of common characteristics of a vintage timepiece are. Unless stated that the strap is new, the leather is often quite old and may need replacing in the future. Metal bracelets may not include all of the links that the watch originally may have come with, but can be replaced with a bracelet or strap of your choosing. If the item is a piece of vintage jewelry, be aware that the item may have some minor blemishes such as.

Missing stones (view photos, we will NEVER photoshop in a missing stone or piece). We do our best to take accurate photos and provide accurate descriptions. We want this purchasing experience to be pleasant and surprise-free. Vintage and antique items, unless "new old stock", have been around the block a time or two. Thank you for your business!

We hope to see you return in the future! This item is in the category "Jewelry & Watches\Watches, Parts & Accessories\Watches\Wristwatches". The seller is "secondhandhorology" and is located in this country: US.
