Hamilton "Spectra" 500, 14K

American. This rare Hamilton "Spectra" Electric watch features a 14K gold case characterized by its bold, broad asymmetric architecture with pronounced, sweeping lugs designed by Richard Arbib. The striking dial features a pattern of concentric stylized rings, applied gold dot markers, and the signature "Electric" text printed above the 6 o'clock position. At its core is Hamilton’s Calibre 500, the movement that powered the world's first commercially produced battery-powered electric wristwatch, introduced in 1957. Fully serviced in 2022, the movement is in running condition. Offered as watch only without box or papers, the Spectra is widely considered one of the most avant-garde and collectible 14K gold designs from Hamilton's space-age electric line. The gross weight of the assembled watch is 41.26 grams.

Estimate:£799.44
