Vintage Hamilton Steeldon

Two different dial patterns were available, the Rhodium-plated, solid 18K gold numerals on a sterling silver dial, or luminous numerals on a silver dial (with luminous hands to match). Being stainless steel, the Steeldon is a rugged little watch and the only part that seems to wear is the glass crystal. Replacing the crystal is about the only thing needed when you're lucky enough to find a vintage Steeldon.
