Description:
The movie "Men in Black" popularized this style of triangular
Hamilton, as did Elvis in the movie "Blue Hawaii" in 1962. This
was the watch that Hamilton brought to market in the late
1950's as the world's first electric watch. The model name is the
"Pacer". The case is a beautiful two-tone, yellow and white gold
filled combo,that has been artistically combined. Hamilton hired
an automotive designer named Richard Arbib to design a very
dramatic case for the watch's debut. The public went wild over
the design and Hamilton produced quite a few for the
demanding masses. This watch had a bad reputation among
jewelers because they did not understand the new technology
that required a battery to supply the motive force for the watch.
Consequently there are a good number of these watches that
have been badly restored, but we know how to bring ours up to
factory standards and give you a full one year warranty. Yes,
ours cost a bit more than other "Pacers" that you will see on the
net, but our restoration process is exhaustive. On these watches
this is very important. This "Pacer" has a beautiful silvered dial
and the case measures 45MM by 31MM and is two-tone yellow
and white gold filled. The lugs are white and the rest of the case
body is yellow. The case is engraved "J R" on the back. The
stylized elongated diamond shaped hands and the sweep second
hand which culminates in a red arrowhead tip give the watch a
really cool look. This arrowhead motif is echoed by the markers
at 1,2,4,5,7,8,10, and 11. The additional advantage of this
watch being electric is that you can stop the watch by pulling the
crown out into the setting position therby saving the battery if
you are not wearing it. If you want a historical classic that has a
wonderful shape and presence then this is the watch for you!
Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year
parts and labor warranty so that you may buy with confidence.
