Vintage 1942 Hamilton Sentinel Watch Hack Set Rare Factory Dialed Packard Logo

Description: This very fine example of Hamilton's 1942 War Era Sentinel is in good working order. The watch is rare find having a dial that was produced for the Packard company at Hamilton's factory. There are claims on the internet that indicate Hamilton did produce custom dials for clients in house, specifically Packard. This makes the watch a rarer find as "factory original" and a collectors edition. While there is mild deterioration to the logo it is original and redialing the watch would be a serious devaluation to a collector. Please see the watch ads I've posted in this auction to get a better understanding of the history of this war era watch. Watch Ads are not included in the auction. Here is a copy and paste of Google's AI Overview result when questioning the relationship of Hamilton and Packard:AI: "Yes, historically, Hamilton watches have been known to feature factory-dialed Packard car logos on their dials, particularly on commemorative pocket watches given to Packard employees, showcasing a collaboration between the Hamilton watch company and the Packard Motor Car Company; meaning you can find Hamilton watches with the distinctive Packard emblem on the face." Here is a link to a YouTube video describing more about the Hamilton Packard relationship; https://youtu.be/SZdRk4bJd8s?si=1Fw9eNYAlvgFiK62 I have owned this watch for over 20 years, have kept it physically clean and in the condition I purchased it. The watch continues to WIND-SET-RUN properly. Happy to answer any and all questions or take more photos before bidding. Please check my feedback rating and bid with confidence.
