Gents Hamilton Fontainebleau “B” Calendar Watch, C1970

Gents Hamilton Fontainebleau “B” Calendar watch, c1970.

The watch has an automatic movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 35.5mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 29mm high excluding the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition. The back of the watch has the Fontainebleau logo.

The lens has some minor nibbling along the right-hand edge but not too detrimental. There is some natural light reflection showing in the front photos.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, centre seconds hand and a date display at 6 o’clock… this is an early form of quickset where the hands are repeatedly moved backwards and forwards between 10 past midnight and 8.30pm until the desired date is reached.

The Hamilton Fontainebleau “B” was produced from 1968 through roughly 1971. The “B” denotes the style of the case, either rectangular or TV screen.

A later leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
