1967 Hamilton 6B British Royal Air Force H-67 36mm
Here we have a great, signed, rarely seen 1967 Hamilton 6B British Royal Air Force H-67, regarded by collectors as the Hamilton ‘Mark 11’, since it has the same specifications and form factor and was made for the British Royal Air Force at the same time as the IWC and Jaeger LeCoultre Mark 11. This watch was issued in 1967, hence H-67, and Hamilton was the official supplier to RAF aircrews from 1965 until 1975. Featuring a 36mm round stainless steel case that comfortably sits on your wrist with tapered lugs and fixed spring bars, perfect for NATO straps. Its curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 46.5mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm. On the right side, there is a coin-edged crown. The smooth bevel-edged bezel holds a domed crystal above a matte black dial. An outer minute rail track with Tritium pips and batons surrounds white Arabic numerals and a Tritium triangle at noon to indicate the right way up of the watch face, useful to know on night missions. Later steel hands are filled with lume and complemented by a white tapered sweeping second hand. At noon, we have the Hamilton motif with a ‘T’ in a circle indicating Tritium. At 6 o’clock, the Broad Arrow indicated British Government property. On the reverse, a screw-down solid case back engraved with the 6B-9614045 H-67, 3543 and Broad Arrow. The numbers represent the following; 6B- indicating RAF issue 9614045 - indicating model number and hacking version, and H-67 the year of issue. The individual MoD issue serial number is 3543. Inside a manually wound Hamilton Cal. S75 S. A modified ETA 2390 with hacking seconds. It comes paired with a well-suited 18mm NATO strap.
