___________________________
Comments: This is the third of three major Cushion designs - the
first being the "Wire Lugged" Cushion with the 981 movement and the
second being the "Round Form" Cushion design introduced in 1922.
This particular Cushion utilizes the 987 17-jewel movement and
the case varies slightly from Cushions that contained the 986A
movement. In 987 examples, the center case protrudes beyond the
bezel and case back to form a stepped case appearance as shown
above.
The Cushion Form Opening was a popular style and is honored with
one of Hamilton's longest uninterrupted production runs at seven
years. Hamilton produced 65,200 Cushion Form Openings, testament to
its enduring and classic style.
The Cushion Form Opening was offered in 14K white and green solid
gold and 14K green and white gold filled.
The Cushion was one of six geometrically shaped models that were
popular during the mid to late 1920's - the others being the Barrel,
Oval, Rectangular, Square and Tonneau.
