Features Roman numerals reminiscent of early models
First appearing in the 1930s and leading the watch industry's return to classicism in the 1980s, Hamilton's iconic "Ardmore" watch has continued to be loved as a pioneer of classic design watches. The burgundy color Japan-exclusive model, released in the winter of 2012, sold out immediately. With a design embodying dignified elegance, intelligence, and femininity, its popularity remains undiminished over half a century since its birth.
The model being reissued this time faithfully reproduces characteristic details reminiscent of its early days, such as the elegant square case, traditional railroad pattern, and classic leaf hands. It uses authentic Roman numerals for the indices. The navy strap creates an intelligent and chic design. The standard model, featuring a crocodile-embossed brown calfskin strap, is available in two case sizes, allowing for coordinating with a partner.
Hamilton's "Ardmore" has been gifted to women at life's milestones, such as weddings and graduations. Don't miss this timepiece of happiness, which has been the dream of American ladies since the 1930s.
