Hello

I'm new to the forum and to watch collecting. This watch was my grandfather's and I'm curious as to its history. Any info is appreciated! Thanks!

I am not that familiar with Swiss Hampden's hopefully someone
will be able to give you more information. I can also move the watch
to the European section because it's Swiss marketed to the USA.
