The Lancaster 092 is the 92nd one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Lancaster" line of the American Artisan Series. This watch contains the original movement (timepiece), dial (face), and hands from a vintage (1880’s – 1950’s) pocket watch. The American Artisan Series is a line of fully American Made wristwatches powered by restored, U.S. made pocket watch movements.

What makes the Lancaster 092 Unique: We are so excited to present this amazing watch from the Hamilton Watch Company, originally produced in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1924. Our machined titanium case brings attention to this amazing dial, accented by gold-colored numerals as well as this ornate design around the inside of the face. A copper crown and hardware add to the visual intrigue of this gorgeous watch, as well as these spectacular plum-colored hands to go along with our merlot strap. This 912 movement from Hamilton displays subtle Geneva lines on the build plate, while these brilliant gold-plated gears shine through to reveal the inner workings beneath. 17 screw set jewels, stainless steel hardware all across the build plate, and a Reed regulator all help to enhance the look of this amazing timepiece. In the same year that this watch was manufactured, eight U.S. Army Air Service pilots left Seattle in four airplanes and completed the first circumnavigation of Earth from the air. The journey took 175 days and 74 separate stops, covering around 27,550 total miles.
