The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

I really like the color of the case which indoors looks very rose gold and when the sun hits its surface the shade becomes much more yellow. The sapphire crystal is almost flat which accentuates the slim silhouette of the watch. The diameter of the dial is 40mm and it fits my 21cm wrist perfectly. Still on the subject of the dial I like the applied baton indexes with the Roman numeral XII at 12 o'clock, the central guilloche circle. The open heart is well integrated and the balance wheel ruby stands out nicely. The only bad taste I find is the powermatic 80 inscription which is too much on the dial.

My first automatic dress watch

I bought it to accompany me in my work which is manual work. What I like is that I don't need to worry about it. Its comfort with the rubber strap. In terms of look, the vertical brushed anthracite dial is very effective. The indexes are placed both on the dial and on the flange which gives a certain depth to the watch. The digital display, although tiny, remains readable in order to take advantage of the classic functions of a Casio.

La Casio GM-2100-1AER 

This watch is simply the definition of discretion. With its black case and its 38mm diameter it is very sober especially with the anthracite or black NATO. But being black it could match perfectly with flashier NATO bracelets. On the other hand I find the horns too long to put on a pin or folding bracelet. It is very robust because I do not pay attention when I wear it and the case is immaculate level scratch even with a magnifying glass. On the other hand 5atm of waterproofness I find it a shame I think that 10atm would have been perfect for a field watch with which I do not want to pay attention. The luminova shines super well and makes it precise to read even at night. The double scale and the indexes make it the watch with the most readable time that I have owned.

The adventurer who is a little afraid of water

I wanted a chic steel sports watch with a nice complication. And here I come across a video of Teddy Baldassare who presented this watch and I fell in love with it. The finishes are simply superb and the watch is well worth the 1200e asked. The striped blue dial catches the light in a unique way. The result is that it is almost black in the shade and ocean blue as soon as the light hits it. The steel bracelet is very comfortable, remains to be seen over time. And a big date is just classy!!

Better than on TV!

<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Hamilton</strong> brand is an icon in the world of watchmaking which brilliantly combines American know-how and the finesse of Swiss watchmaking tradition. Founded in <strong>1892</strong> by Webster Clay Ball in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the brand Hamilton quickly acquired a reputation for quality, precision and reliability, notably thanks to its pocket watches used by railway workers to avoid accidents on American railways.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Hamilton brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">However, it was truly from the 1950s that the brand began to make its mark on the history of modern watchmaking. In 1957, Hamilton revolutionized the world of watchmaking by introducing the world's first electric watch, the Hamilton Electric 500. This watch, although imperfect, paved the way for a new era of electric and quartz watches, in which will engulf<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/lip"> LIP</a> with the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/lip/electronic"> LIP Electronic</a>,<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/bulova"> Bulova</a> with the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/bulova/accutron"> Bulova Accutron</a> and of course<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/seiko"> Seiko</a> with the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/seiko/quartz"> Seiko Quartz</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 1960s marked another pivotal moment for Hamilton. The brand entered the world of cinema by equipping Elvis Presley with a Hamilton Ventura in the film &ldquo;Loving You&rdquo; in particular. Hamilton thus extended its influence to the entertainment industry, becoming the watch of choice for many movie characters.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In 1974, Hamilton was in serious financial difficulties and was bought by the Swiss holding company SSIH, the ancestor with ASUAG of the current Swatch Group. This acquisition marks the beginning of a new era for Hamilton, which now combines bold American design with Swiss watchmaking excellence.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These key dates in Hamilton's history reveal a resolutely avant-garde brand, always seeking innovation and precision. Hamilton has been able to adapt to technological and cultural developments, while preserving its unique identity.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the iconic models of the Hamilton brand?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Hamilton's rich heritage is reflected in the diversity of its collections, which meet the needs of watch enthusiasts from all walks of life. Among the brand's flagship models, we find:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/ventura">Hamilton Ventura</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Hamilton Ventura is probably the brand's most iconic model. With its bold shield-shaped case designed by American designer Richard Arbib (also behind the Hamilton Pacer and Hamilton Meteor models in particular), its water resistance up to 50 meters, its comfortable leather strap, its movement precise quartz, its elegant silver dial and its date complication, <strong>the Ventura is a symbol of innovation and aesthetics</strong>. It was this watch that Elvis Presley wore for the first time in 1961 in the film &ldquo;Blue Hawaii&rdquo;, which contributed to his legendary aura.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman is a robust and reliable dive watch</strong>. Featuring a 42mm titanium case, impressive water resistance up to 100 ATM, durable rubber strap, H-10 automatic movement with 80 hour power reserve, a black dial with luminous indexes and a date complication, this watch is designed to withstand the most extreme conditions. It takes its name from the 1951 film "The Frogmen", in which US Navy divers were equipped with Hamilton watches. An additional illustration of the close ties maintained by Hamilton with the film industry and in particular the Hollywood studios.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic is a classic and refined watch</strong>. It features a 40mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 5 ATM, stylish leather strap, Swiss automatic movement, silver dial with applied indexes and date complication. Its particularity lies in its transparent background which allows you to admire the movement.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/khaki_field">Hamilton Khaki Field</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Hamilton Khaki Field is the symbol of the brand's military past</strong>. Equipped with a 38mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 5 ATM, sturdy canvas strap, H-10 automatic movement with 80 hour power reserve, matte black dial with luminous indexes and a date complication, this watch is a tribute to the soldiers' watches used during World War II.

<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton Khaki Aviation</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Hamilton Khaki Aviation is designed for aviation enthusiasts.

<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/psr">Hamilton PSR</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Hamilton PSR is a modern reinterpretation of the first digital LED watch, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/pulsar/p2"> Pulsar P2</a> from 1970, popularized for being the watch of James Bond and Roger Moore in Live and Let Die in 1974. The PSR features a 40.8 x 34.7 mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 10 ATM, a steel bracelet, a unique hybrid quartz movement with an OLED display and LCD technology, and a dial that lights up at the press of a button.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton American Classic</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Finally, the American Classic is a collection that pays homage to Hamilton's American history. The Intra-Matic Auto model, for example, offers a 40 mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 5 ATM, a brown leather strap, an H-10 automatic movement, a silver dial in a style Vintage with stick indexes and a date complication.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These watches embody the spirit of Hamilton: a combination of functionality, design, history and innovation in a price range between &euro; 700 and &euro; 2,500 for a mechanical model.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Hamilton watch cost?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Hamilton offers several dozen new references whose prices vary between $375 for a Hamilton Khaki-Field Quartz and $12,000 for a Hamliton Ventura Quartz in 18k gold. <strong>Most Hamilton are sold between $500 and $1,000</strong>. Prices can also fluctuate depending on the distributor, and promotions sometimes allow you to benefit from a more competitive price. The second-hand market is also an opportunity to look at to buy a cheaper Hamilton.</p>

<p dir="ltr">(Updated December 2023)</p>

The almost perfect watch! You can do anything with it! It is robust, I love the brushed steel, I feel like the watch is impossible to scratch. The falsely patinated indexes are magnificent, the luminescent material works wonderfully and for a long time! Reading the time couldn't be easier, the NATO strap is comfortable, the little touches of leather add that little something extra. The 80-hour power reserve is very appreciable. The hands are basic but very effective, and the slightly domed sapphire crystal is anti-reflective, which is very pleasant! There is also a stop second, which is not always the case on watches in this price range. I absolutely love everything about this watch that can be worn in any circumstance. With its iconic design, its features, and its history, I find that the price is really more than justified! It’s hard to do better, for me the Khaki Field is really Hamilton’s centerpiece (with the Ventura which we hear a little less about). The only downside, if we have to find one, is its water resistance to only 50 meters, certainly it’s not a watch whose purpose is to go in the water, but a water resistance to 100m would have really been the icing on the cake.

Hamilton Khaki Field 38mm

My Hamilton Khaki Action Sport automatic, 40 mm, from 2005 is in new condition. It is a watch that I am very attached to. I put a suede leather strap on it that suits it very well. The removable crown protector gives it originality. The matte case plays into its discretion. I like it very much.

I never get tired of it

My Hamilton khaki field GMT watch that I bought about ten years ago has followed me on so many adventures and trips that it is the ultimate watch for the adventurer, waterproof 200 meters GMT. I don't wear it much anymore, but when I take it out again, it brings back a sense of nostalgia, I still love it as much.

She breathes her DNA

Hello,
I present to you my bronze khaki field watch, which I've loved wearing regularly for the past four years.
I bought this watch when it came out. I was going to buy a classic machine-made steel khaki, and it came out. It was a real favorite.

I like:
- the patina of the bronze and the vintage feel of the model
- the proportions: 38mm, 10mm thick
- the mechanical winding
- the readability of the dial and the painted indexes
- 80-hour power reserve

I recommend this model and Hamilton without reservation. I can't find any flaws in it based on my use and expectations, but here are a few points to watch out for:
- 50m water resistance, yes, you won't be able to swim with sharks with it... but you can wash dishes, take a shower, or even go swimming.
- The bronze patinas very quickly and unevenly; you have to like the raw quality of the material.

In short, it ticks all the boxes for me;
- A watch with character but remains discreet for everyday use.
- A vintage look with modern robustness.
See you soon!

Field Watch bronze 

Hamilton Khaki field mechanical in 38 mm. I had the beige strap mounted on it, it did not suit me, lack of comfort. I opted for a 2-piece nato which changed everything. The watch itself exudes robustness when I wind it. No play in the crown. With good autonomy, more than 3 days for sure. Simple and nice purchase.

A nice mechanism
