ABOUT STANDARD TIME:

Standard Time Corporation – a Hamilton subsidiary based in the US Virgin Islands – produced Vantage watches as part of its team-up with Hamilton to combat the growing Quartz Crisis (brought on by Seiko, of course) during the early 1970’s.

But when is a Hamilton not a Hamilton? When its a Vantage watch, of course - in 1961, Hamilton purchased the Standard Time Corporation (STC) of St. Croix, Virgin Islands, in an effort to combat the Quartz Crisis.

Hamilton management treated STC as a wholly owned subsidiary, and it produced movements for Hamilton’s line of Vantage watches, which debuted in 1962.

The Vantage line continued to be included in the Hamilton catalogs up through at least the 1970's
