Serviced December 2024, 14k white gold filled case, plain (smooth) bezel, good dial with honest patina, unworn leather strap, NOS mineral glass crystal, alloy mainspring.
Hamilton produced the Square Cut Corner Plain watch starting in 1927 through 1930 using the 987 caliber family of movements. This was the so called "geometric" era of Hamilton watches when their wrist watches were named for their case shapes. The serial number on the barrel bridge is from 1928. The case and bezel on this example are 14k white gold filled and have been hand polished. The center piece of the case is engraved and the bezel is smooth, hence the "plain" in the name. The case back is also in excellent condition. The silver dial has honest patina and the paint is in good condition. The dial appears to be original and was relumed during service. The three hands are blue have also been relumed. This Hamilton Square Cut Corner comes ready to wear on an unworn, black leather band with silver tone buckle.
