Owner review: Hamilton Jazzmaster Traveler GMT

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Traveler GMT totally challenged my notion that no watch is perfect. As watch enthusiasts, we are conditioned to know that no watch is perfect. Be it in the design or the features, there’s always something missing from a given piece. And no watch can have it all – it’s almost like an…

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical

Like most of us, I am also buying more straps for my watches than I actually need. Unlike most of us I am buying (and selling) watches at a very slow rate. A new watch needs to convince me more than 95% before I buy it. That’s one reason, why I rarely buy used watches:…

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical White Dial

Almost all watch enthusiasts (and YouTube reviewers on a slow day) have given this one a thought at least once – what is the ideal apocalypse watch? A G-Shock? No, the battery will eventually run out. Something solar-powered, then? Perhaps, but what if the sun is blocked by a dust cloud from a cataclysmic event…

Owner Review: Hamilton Skymaster GMT and Colac Dan

Soaring 10,000 feet above the endless dark sea, famed aviator/explorer “Colac Dan” Wellington grabbed his flight map and glanced down at his wrist to note the time. “Damn it all,” he muttered to no one as he peered down at the new Hamilton Skymaster GMT. “Can’t see the GMT hand worth a s***.” He held…

Owner Review: Hamilton Navy Pioneer – (Almost) Scratch Free

How I envy those watch collectors who delight in every scratch and dent added to their watch, viewing the marks as treasured snapshots in the ongoing album of their life. Try as I might, I can’t avoid obsessing over every hairline scratch or little ding I might have added in the latest wear of my…

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki King II

I will start by saying this: The Hamilton Khaki King II is a great way to get yourself into a Swiss Made timepiece, through a brand that carries a ton of heritage. Before we dive too deep (Water Resistance pun intended), lets get the notable specs out of the way: – 316L stainless steel case/bracelet,…

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical

I won’t cover the history of the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical because I’ll probably cock it up. Standard issue to US troops in Vietnam during the late 60s and the rest… The specs are as follows: 38mm wide, 47mm lug to lug, 10mm thick, sapphire crystal. Now the movement, well I have to be honest…

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical H69429931

The Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical H69429931 is one of those watches that’s had a lot of articles written about it. Which is totally understandable, it’s a great watch. It’s a modern reincarnation of a classic military spec watch, in a super comfortable size. Well suited to many wrists due to its slim profile and decent…

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date

This Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date is a very unique, yet ballsy design! If a German Flieger from WW2 and an American pocket watch were to mate, and have a baby, it would look like this! The case is very nice and wears smaller than the 46mm suggests. Although 46mm is far too large…

Owner Review: Hamilton 1973 W10 British Army Issue – True old school charm

I picked up this watch from an old watchmaker, who told me that he had bought it at an auction of MOD (ministry of defence) equipment and surplus items. He’d bought a handful of this type of genuine British Army issued W10 watches and parts, some from Hamilton and some of the later issued CWC…
