1941 Ross 
Grade 982 
U.S.A. Wristwatch 

This beautiful timepiece is a vintage Hamilton Ross wristwatch dated from 1941. It is a manual-wind watch is powered by an original Hamilton mechanical movement, caliber grade 982, model 1 and adjusted three positions. It features 19 jewels, a sub-second hand, a 45-hour power reserve, and a frequency of 18,000 vph. Proudly made in the U.S.A.

What makes this timepiece even more remarkable is its movement family, 980/982, which was designed for high-grade, small-scale production. Approximately 1,400,000 pieces of this movement family (across all models) were produced between 1934 and 1954, making it a prized collector's item. 

Cased in a 23.6x29.2mm rectangular case with a sophisticated 14K yellow gold construction and elegant lug design. 

The original silver dial, which shows a touch of patina, features gold Arabic numerals, black railroad minute track, and matching gold hands. A small seconds sub-dial is positioned at 6 o’clock, and the dial is signed "Hamilton" at the top. 

The watch is complemented by a brand-new brown textured leather strap. 

This Hamilton Ross is a timeless and attractive piece that runs very well and keeps excellent time—an exquisite addition to any collection!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.  

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust the lighting, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that. 

The condition is pre-owned.  
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have. 

It will be carefully packed.
