Rare Hamilton "Cushion" men's Modern design wristwatch in solid 14K green gold, circa 1922.

This is the very first version of the 6/0-size "Cushion" introduced in November of 1922, and has the grade 986 movement. Hamilton's serial number records indicate this movement was completed in October of 1922. Later examples of this model used the thinner grade 986A movement. It was priced at $75.00 in 1922, and only 802 of this grade 986 version were produced in solid green gold. This example has a fantastic original glass enamel dial with fancy Breguet numerals. It is in excellent condition showing only light wear. Case has a beautiful deep orange patina from age. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. Case measures 35mm long and 27mm wide. Original glass enamel dial is perfect, with no chips or cracks. Glass crystal is excellent. The watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Hamilton grade 986 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
