'The 9812 Basics'

You've perused Hamilton's website & stalked timepiece forums to no avail. It looks and feels expensive but garners no respect -'so what's this weirdo watch anyway?'

After 77 years in 1969 a Swiss conglomerate merged with the Hamilton brand and soon thereafter became a part of Swatch. Along with Hamilton's innovation and highly accurate precision Quartz Swiss movements, the company established a business unit to produce custom corporate award timepieces, and presentation watch specialty runs for commercial clients. Quantities of production for each dial (face) variety, though likely small, are unknown. Some 'limited edition' and serialized products do exist and therefore can garner higher collector market prices due to known scarcity.

The 9812 design was produced in the early 1980's through around 2000 with dozens of custom dial designs in a ultra slim 6mm x 34mm weather resistant stainless case, leather strap, standard Hamilton box and warranty. The movement is all Hamilton Swiss, however the cases are manufactured in Hong Kong, and assembled in union labor shops at Lancaster, PA USA or the U.S. Virgin Islands. They are often plated in gold and fitted with black leather straps or Spiedel bracelet bands. The crystal quality and overall watch assembly are excellent. Battery type is a 371 silver oxide with approximately 2 years of service life and the movement is the Swiss made ETA 980.163
