Vintage Hamilton Ricoh Electric Watch | Gold Plated Fluted Bezel

An exceptionally rare and historically significant timepiece from the short-lived Hamilton-Ricoh joint venture (1962-1965). This is a fascinating example of early battery-powered watchmaking, preceding the quartz revolution and bridging the gap between mechanical movements and modern electronics—a true piece of horological history.
​This vintage Electric watch features a striking multi-sided gold-plated case framed by an intricate fluted (engine-turned) bezel. The silver sunburst dial is clean and elegant, signed with the dual HAMILTON-RICOH logo and the key "Electric" designation at 6 o'clock. The unique case shape and detailed bezel capture the bold, futuristic "Space Age" design aesthetic of the 1960s. Paired with a complementary brown leather strap, this reliable electric watch is a must-have for any serious collector of vintage American or Japanese watch history.

​🔹 Condition
​Good Vintage Condition (B Grade) — The watch shows wear consistent with its 60-year age. The gold plating is generally well-preserved but has some surface wear, particularly on the sharp edges and lugs. The acrylic crystal is clear. The high-quality electric movement (likely the Ricoh 555E) has been professionally inspected and is running and keeping good time. The unique movement technology makes this an essential piece of pre-quartz era collecting.
