Reference photography not yet on file

There is no factory reference number for this watch; it is identified by model name, caliber and case metal. The caliber 500 was replaced in service by the improved 505, and a 1957-59 Ventura found today very often contains a 505 — fitted by Hamilton's own service department, which makes it a service configuration and not a marriage.

Some specifications for this reference require verification against manufacturer documentation.
