Probably one of the most well known of the Hamilton Electrics is the Pacer model. Over 39,000 were
produced and it was the only model to feature in all 11 years of Hamilton electric watch production
(1957 to 1969). As a result, it can be found with the 500, 500A and 505 movements. It had 10K
gold-filled two-tone case although some corporation presentation Pacers had 14K solid gold
cases.
First photograph is my first ever Hamilton watch purchase: a Pacer with a re-finished dial --- this dial is
not quite correct, consisting of a mixture of 500 and 505 styles. The movement is a Calibre 500.
The second set of photographs is my second Pacer. This watch is very original in all ways: hands,
dial, case, stem and 500 movement.
