This timepiece may have been a collaborative product of HAMILTON Watch Co & FLORA Watch Co., or it could also be an assembled piece with parts put together by a clever watchmaker.
However, its HAMILTON 2987 movement is special. It was only produced during World War II for military watches of the Navy & Marine Corps pilots. It is a relatively rare movement & has value by itself.
