The trend of vintage-inspired watches is still going strong in 2017 and one of the most talked about watches at Baselworld this year was the Intra-Matic 68 by Hamilton. Not only is it inspired by a vintage Hamilton chronograph, it also has a reverse panda dial, which is in fashion right now. To me, this […]
Read MoreHamilton uses its classic Khaki palms and face that combines hour markers with Arabic hour numerals. Some versions of the Hamilton Watches Jazzmaster Chrono Auto Khaki Field Auto Chrono really give the watch a more pilot watch appearance, but this black and tan design on at least the mention H71616535 makes to get a winning […]

Read MoreThere is perhaps no greater disservice that can be done to a perfectly capable watch, than to force it to live a life of sad monotony as it ticks and hums away sheltered beneath the safety of a shirt cuff.

Designed […]
Read MoreGiven their proclivity for aviation and military-inspired models, it can be easy to forget that Hamilton Watch 500 has a proven wild side. It’s true, the same company that makes the Khaki Field, the Intra-matic 38, and the Jazzmaster, also makes the eccentric Face 2 Face. Born as an out-of-this-world tribute to Hamilton’s involvement in […]
Read MoreNavigating the watch segment of €500 to €1,200 is like sailing in stormy seas.

Read MoreThe venerable Hamilton Watch 6274 Khaki remains one of the best “field-style” watches around with its retro military looks and adaptation to modern male aesthetics. Over the years, Hamilton has produced an endless variation of Khaki models, and the larger Hamilton Khaki collection today includes timepieces that you might not even traditionally bulk into the […]
