This watch used the 17 jewel, 6/0 sized 986A movement without a second hand.
14K white gold case, with luminous dials.
In 1927 Hamilton introduced the 6/0 sized, 17 jewel 987 movement with a sub second hand.
The movements have slightly different dimensions so the cases for a 1926 Square is slightly different than a 1927 Square (cut corner) case - and each is intended for its specific movements.
The 1927 Square (Cut Corner) was also available with plain or engraved bezels; in same year catalog, Hamilton also introduced the Barrel to the "geometric" model lineup. The Tonneau joined the geometric lineup in 1928. The Square continued to be produced through 1930.
Both ladies and examples were produced.
The 986A movement grade typically came without a seconds hand register.
Measures: mm. 35 x 28
