{"product_id":"vintage-hamilton-ricoh-electric-watch-gold-plated-fluted-bezel","title":"Vintage Hamilton Ricoh Electric Watch | Gold Plated Fluted Bezel","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\n​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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n​🔹 Condition\u003cbr\u003e\n​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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n​🔹 Details\u003cbr\u003e\n​Brand: HAMILTON-RICOH\u003cbr\u003e\n​Model Style: Electric Watch \/ Mid-Century Modern Dress\u003cbr\u003e\n​Case Shape: Multi-Sided \/ Cushion with Fluted Bezel\u003cbr\u003e\n​Movement: Electric (Battery-Powered, Pre-Quartz)\u003cbr\u003e\n​Crystal: Acrylic \/ Plexiglass\u003cbr\u003e\n​Case Material: Gold Plated \/ Stainless Steel Back\u003cbr\u003e\n​Dial Color: Silver Sunburst Finish\u003cbr\u003e\n​Strap Material: Brown Textured Leather (New Aftermarket)\u003cbr\u003e\n​Functions: Hours, Minutes, Seconds\u003cbr\u003e\n​Era: Circa 1962-1965 (Rare Joint Venture Period)\u003cbr\u003e\n​Gender\/Size: Men's \/ Mid-Sized Dress Watch\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n​🔹 Shipping\u003cbr\u003e\n​Ships via Japan Post \/ FedEx with tracking and secure packaging.
