From the brand: What makes the Lancaster 079 unique:
The Lancaster 079 is a stunning blend of vintage elegance and modern craftsmanship, built around a 1924 Hamilton movement. The dial is a picture of refined simplicity, featuring bold black numerals, a subtle eggshell patina, and blued spade hands that add a striking pop of color. This watch is a perfect example of understated sophistication—one that feels just as appropriate in a casual setting as it does for a formal occasion.
This 17-jewel manual-wind movement was originally produced by the Hamilton Watch Company in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at a time when American watchmaking was at its peak. Interestingly, 1924 was also the year the first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade took place in New York City, marking the start of an enduring American tradition. While families gathered to watch massive floats and marching bands, a craftsman in Lancaster was assembling the movement that now lives inside this timepiece—a true connection to history.
Encased in our tumbled titanium case, this watch strikes a perfect balance between durability and elegance. The smooth sandblasted stainless steel bezel and vertical-grooved titanium crown maintain a rugged yet refined presence, allowing the dial to take center stage. We’ve paired it with a black leather strap, creating a bold contrast that enhances the watch’s timeless appeal.
