HAMILTON WATe H HAMILTON WATCH MATERIALS CATALOG PREFACE The practical value of this Materials Catalog will be obvious to watch repairmen everywhere. But what may not be so obvious is that this catalog and the inventory of genuine materials it represents is but part of Hamilton's total facilities devoted to maintenance of service on its product. Informative technical and service literature on Hamilton watches is another. Factory service when and as needed is still another of these facilities. The keystone of the success of all of these facilities is t heir intelligent use by the watch­ maker. And of American watchmakers, Hamilton is indeed proud. To them, more than anyone else in the industry, goes the credit for keeping Hamilton, America's Fine Watch, fine! MATERIALS FOR SPECIAL HAMILTON WORLD WAR II TIMEPIECES are not included in this catalog. Many of the parts of t hese timepieces are still available in limited quantities but, because of slight demand for them, they are seldom stocked by Materials Wholesalers. We will be glad to ship t hem through your Authorized Hamilton Materials Wholesaler, as long as they remain available. For detailed information, write directly to the Materials Sales Department, Hamilton Watch Company, Lancaster, Pa. Neither pinions nor wheels separately, nor staffs, where applicable, for cent er, third, and fourth are any longer available. Only wheel and pinion complete, or wheel and pinion and staff complete, as the case may be, are now available. The escape wheel, the escape pinion, and the escape wheel complete with pinion continue to be available as before. This change has been instituted to simplify inventory both here and in the watchmaker's possession as well as to afford labor savings in the t rade of unstaking and restaking to replace components of the wheel and pinion assembly. Illustrations of selected grades of the different size Hamilton movements made are shown on pages 4 to 7 to assist the watchmaker in identifying movements. The convenient steel Hamilton Materials Cabinet, together with descriptive comment on Dynavar Mainsprings and information on PML 79 Oil (the new watch oil developed and manufactured by Hamilton to meet watchmakers' needs for one wi th all fine watch oil "equirements), will be found on page 36. TO ORDER HAMILTON MATERIALS, secure the movement grade number which is engraved on one of the bridges of virtually all Hamilton movements, then consult the index on page 3. Hamilton movements which do not have grade numbers engraved on them do carry serial numbers which can be checked against the serial numbers listed on pages 9 to 13 to secure the grade number. All materials are classified by watch size and grade on pages indicated in the index. When the material desired has been located under the appropriate grade, the order can be prepared. Always use catalog number and part name on material orders. All orders for Hamilton materials should be sent to Authorized Materials Wholesalers. A list of Authorized Wholesalers will be furnished upon request. Printed in U. S.
