What makes the Lancaster 170 unique: Were excited to spotlight todays gorgeous antique watch initially produced by the Hamilton Watch Company in 1926 — the Lancaster 170. This watch features a stunningly-aged, light-tan dial with a breathtaking center design pattern thats reminiscent of a multi-pointed star. You can also see the dials stylized black numerals and its blued steel arrow watch hands. We complemented the pocket watchs style and colors by encasing it within our robust Bronzed Titanium case and topped it off with a copper crown. On the back of the watch, you can see the pieces historic 916-grade open-face movement that boasts a nickel finish and pendant setting. The watchs movement also showcases powerful gold-plated gears and 17 sumptuous jewels throughout its ¾ plate. Finally, we matched this stylish, American-made watch with our comfortable Stout leather watch strap to further emphasize the pieces rustic color palette. The Hamilton Watch Company first produced the Lancaster 170s pocket watch in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1926 — the same year that the American cereal brand Wheaties debuted the first-ever radio jingle advertisement. The jingle aired on Christmas Eve of 1926 on the WCCO radio station in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Wheaties jingle was titled Have You Tried Wheaties? and was sung to the tune of Shes a Jazz Baby, a popular song at the time. A local Minneapolis barbershop quartet performed the song and made history by laying the groundwork for future ad jingles.
