A beautifully styled 1940s Hamilton Glenn, known for its dramatic stepped case—an Art Deco signature that gives the watch real presence on the wrist. The 10K gold-filled rectangular case measures 27mm across and features the model’s trademark tiered bezel and sculpted lugs.
The two-tone silver dial shows applied gold numerals, a railroad minute track, and a 6 o’clock seconds register. Hands and numerals retain their warm original gilt finish.
Inside is Hamilton’s respected 987A 17-jewel manual-wind movement — clean, serviced in the past, and currently running well.
