This is a model 993.
Hamilton reference numbered there movements for open faced cases even. (winds at 12). 924,950,992, 940 etc.
Hamilton reference numbered there hunting case movements with odd number. ie 925, 927, 951, 993. These wound at 3 o'clock.
993 is a great movement. A few parts were blued aftermarket, to enhance it's appearance.
Funny, I just packed a movement up to mail to Frett this night.

Thanks for adding some knowledge about the dials, I forgot about the second hand pinion/location !
I next want an Elgin with Roman numerals. Seems like a nice pair to have.
