Don Sauers wrote in his comprehensive "Time for America: Hamilton Watch 1892-1992": "Vantage had been created in 1962 in response to two competitive challenges: first, the continuing popularity of Timex-type watches (products described by Hamilton salesmen as 'throwaway watches' in their off the record comments), and second, the introduction by Bulova of the low-priced Caravelle line." He adds:"Both Vantage and Caravelle featured jeweled-lever movements, superior in quality to the pin-lever movements in 'dollar watches' and most Timexes. Vantage retail prices ranged from $11.95 to $29.95, definitely competitive, considering their quality. Prior to the transfer of some production to Pforzheim [West Germany] in 1968, Vantage movements had been made exclusively in the U.S. Virgin Islands, by Hamilton's newly acquired Standard Time Corporation. The watches were then assembled in Hamilton's plant in East Petersburg, Pennsylvania, a facility that had first served as a fuse factory and then as an assembly plant for automotive clocks." Sauers concludes, "After a slow start Vantage proved to be a winner, showing sales vitality into the mid-'70s. At its peak the line was sold through 9,000 retail stores nationwide and, eventually, parts came from Switzerland and Japan as well as Germany and the Virgin Islands" (pp. 196-197).
