Another iconic shape from the Hamilton factory!
With 14,300 produced between 1958 and 1963, the Hamilton Everest must have been a popular model and its easy to see why. It can be found with all three electric calibres: 500, 500A and 505.
First, a few images of one of my unrestored Everests. The dial is sad looking, had a missing hour marker, hands missing their lume, wrong crown, missing stem tube, and as for the movement….:

Now the finished watch. To say I’m pleased with the outcome would be a understatement; I think it has become my favourite Hamilton Electric!
