Fine and rare 14K white gold Hamilton Ventura vintage wrist watch with diamond
dial circa 1958.
"Distinctive oversized ""space age"" case. Original authentic Hamilton factory"
diamond dial. Calibre 500 battery powered 15 jewel mechanical movement.
A very attractive and popular design, the Ventura, the world's first battery
powered watch, was introduced in January of 1957. Only a few
Venturas were made in white gold, and since the diamond dial raised the already
expensive price by a whopping 50%, even fewer of these were made in white gold with
diamond dials.
