From the brand: What makes the Lancaster 091 unique:
The Lancaster 091 features a striking two-tone dial with a rich patina, showcasing nearly nine decades of history. The raised gold numerals, still vibrant despite their age, add dimension and contrast against the sunburst-textured center. This layered effect is accentuated by the warmth of the dial’s natural aging, creating a depth rarely seen in modern timepieces. Paired with blued steel Gothic hands, the dial presents a remarkable balance of sophistication and heritage. A classic sub-seconds dial at the 6 o’clock position completes the refined aesthetic.
At its core is an original Hamilton 912 movement, a 17-jewel creation manufactured in 1936. This movement, celebrated for its precision and durability, is beautifully adorned with intricate Geneva striping and fine machining. The double-barrel mainspring system ensures a smooth power flow, a testament to Hamilton’s commitment to excellence.
Encased in a machined stainless steel case with a coin-edge bezel, the Lancaster 091 reflects both craftsmanship and resilience. A knurled crown provides a tactile element, complementing the refined details of the case. Completing the watch is an Oxblood Horween leather strap with matching stitching, offering a rich contrast to the watch’s industrial strength.
In 1936, Hamilton was at the forefront of American watchmaking, producing some of the most respected movements of the era. That same year, the Hoover Dam was completed, a feat of engineering that reshaped the American landscape. Just as the dam symbolized ingenuity and perseverance, this timepiece stands as a lasting tribute to an era when American craftsmanship was at its peak.
