I just came into posession of a watch that was owned by my grandfather and want to find out more about it.
-The dial is light gold tone with raised gold indices, hour, minute and second hands, no date. The Hilton name is underlined and has 2 red stars.
-The dial is also marked 25 jewels and incablock below the Hilton name.
-Below the center of the dial it is marked: unbreakable mainspring as well as automatic and anti magnetic.
-It has a domed crystal and small crown and what I believe is a replacement band.
-The caseback is marked: Automatic, swiss made, waterproof, antimagnetic, stainless steel back.
Now, I know what all those things mean, what I dont know is:
-When the watch was made
-Who made the watch. (Is Hilton a branded product of another manufacture?)
-Who can service it and replace the crystal.
-Outside of sentimental what is its value.
Any information you vintage watch gurus may be able to provide would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Les
