    Hi all,

    I purchased a couple vintage watches a while ago as a potential gift for a family member. But, the gifting went in a different direction and these watches have been with me ever since. Up for sale today is the first of these vintage watches, a Hilton time and date with a manual wind movement. While inexpensive relative to most vintage watches I own, I believe this one also has some nice details that those of us who love vintage may appreciate.

    - Stainless steel case in seemingly unpolished or minimally polished condition
    - Beautiful and clean silver sunburst dial with dauphine hands
    - Faceted hour markers
    - Red date wheel that also matches the red in the logo
    - Inverted smiley font for "Unbreakable Mainspring"

    Summary: All in all, a really charming vintage piece where the experience of wearing it is much greater than the sum of its parts. The dial says 2 stars but personally I'd give it at least a 3.5:D

    Additional Information:
    Size: 34mm without crown
    Year: 1960s
    Caliber: Manual wind, winds smoothly and keeps good time
    Box/papers: No/No
    Strap: New black leather strap with white stitching

    I’m pricing it friendly at $99 USD + cost of shipping hoping it finds the wrist of someone looking to get into watches and/or vintage watches. Watch and I are in the US and I can ship worldwide (with some exceptions).
