My dad has been clearing things out for a move and gave me a Hamilton electric. It has been sitting for years. I opened the caseback and removed the battery. It is a Duracell d343. I would like to see if I can get this one running again. What are my current modern battery options? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you take the battery to a watchmaker/dealer, or even Walmart, they should be able to size the battery for you. Or try this:

That is an electronic. Not and Electric. There is a big difference.
According to another website uses a 389 battery

And don't ever take a watch to Walmart, to change batteries.

343s are still available as well.

Thanks for the help. I haven't had the time to change anything yet, but hopefully soon.

Very nice....You beat the odds of a watch sitting for years with a battery in it and still running when you put in a new battery.

Here's a pic of my Hamilton Electronic....
