I'd love to own every Hamilton Electric ever produced and, maybe some day, I will! But that day has not yet arrived and the list only shows those models that I own. If you have some other model that is not listed and you want some help, advice or just want to show me, please do get in touch using the email link on the home page...I'm always interested in seeing other Hamilton Electric models!

Hamilton were quite successful in persuading companies to use
their watches for presentation purposes. They were also quite amenable to
producing one-off designs for companies, so there is great variety
in combination of hands, dials and cases.

I really like this first one below...based on the Sea-Lectric II model, a presentation
watch for the 54th Annual Governors' Conference held in 1962. This watch being
presented to Governor Otto Kerner of Illinois by Governor David Lawrence of
Pennsylvania.
The second watch is probably based on the Nautilus 400 and was produced in 1968 for
the GREFCO company.

It is not known which company ordered these "13" watches from Hamilton. It is based on the
all stainless steel Nautilus 502 and contains the 505 movement.
The second set of photographs show a presentation watch for Central Power and Light Company
(CPL) employees. The design is based on the Hamilton Aquatel B from 1962.
