Hamilton's tonneau-shaped American Art Deco "Coronado" was launched in 1929 and produced until around 1933. It was available in 14 K gold and soon became one of Hamilton's most popular models.
The present example has a 14 K rose gold case with moveable lugs. Arabic numerals for the hour markers in gold on a deep black enamel bezel are part of the case and not the dial, which has only a sub seconds register and an outer minute ring.
