It's significant for a few reasons, first that it's only 43mm in size, making it the smallest American Artisan Series watch available at Vortic. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, we call this the Victory Watch because we found a handful of these smaller Hamilton movements in the midst of being sued by the SWATCH Group. We thought they were fantastic, but due to the legal battle, it didn't make sense for us to spend the time and energy developing a custom, new case size just for these movements. Had we lost the lawsuit, all that time would have been wasted. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow that we've won, we can celebrate that victory with this very special watch, and offer it to our loyal customers who helped and supported us through the legal battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece features the 17jewel version of the 10size Hamilton movement and a dial with gold minute markers. The movement is called the 917 and was manufactured between 1936 and 1954. We used a stainless steel case and crown as well as our Oxblood strap to make what we think might be the most elegant watch Vortic's ever built!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have just (3) of these 17jewel models in our first batch, and we think they may go quickly!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote - the watch does not come in a wooden box as pictured, and that is simply a display item. The watch ships in our custom Otterbox Drybox packaging.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44915765018925,"sku":"","price":3400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/LANCASTER-WOTD2023-03-28VICTORY-1v17004_2683.jpg?v=1680551117","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-victory-watch-first-batch-17j-43mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
