Vantage was a brand set up by Hamilton in the 1960's to address the bottom, cheaper end of the market. They consisted of both mechanical and electric models; in the latter case, those bold Richard Arbib case designs were nowhere to be seen; the Vantage watches were plain in design and usually the cases were made of cheap plated base metal.

The electric movements were based on the Hamilton 505 and some of the parts, such as the balance and coil, are interchangeable. However, to further blur the connection between Hamilton and Vantage, these movements were marked "Standard Time Corp", a company Hamiton set up to assemble mechanical movements from imported Swiss parts. The Standard Time Corp 310E movement has its electric parts made in Lancaster, PA. while the mechanical parts are made in Japan.

The Andre Bouchard and Stratford watches on this site also houses the electric Standard Time Corp. movement; were they a Hamilton brands as well? I'm not sure.

At least one electric pocket watch was produced in the Vantage range as well as a small desk clock : see the links on the left hand side.
