Hamilton are a watchmaker that, if you’ll excuse the awful pun, we’ve got a lot of time for here at The Coolector because not only do they produce some of the classiest looking watches on the market, they provide them at non-eye-watering prices. A prime example of this in action is the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer Watch which is available to purchase from Worn & Wound’s WindUp Store.
The Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer Watch has a price tag of $1295 which is great value when you consider the punchy components and awesome aesthetics that this timepiece possesses. It takes its design inspiration from a field-used WWII-era pocket watch and effortlessly blends classic military design elements into a striking, hand wound wristwatch. Hamilton is no stranger to the world of military timepieces and boast a rich history in mil-spec designs with the watchmaker being responsible for some of the most iconic military timepieces out there.
The Khaki Pilot Pioneer from Hamilton looks just as stunning in steel as it does in bronze. No matter which one you pick, you’re sure to enjoy the retro vibes it has to offer your wrist. Housed in a generously-sized 43mm case, the Pilot Pioneer makes a impactful impression and will rapidly become the first watch you reach for in the morning. The brushed finish will mask the occasional bump and nick while giving the watch a utilitarian appearance. Up top, a bi-directional bezel with a black insert is used for various timing functions.
Within the watch, you’ll discover a hand-wound mechanical ETA 6498-1 movement which is as robust as it is reliable. The Swiss-made movement boasts 17 jewels, a beat rate of 18,800bph, and a power reserve of 53 hours when fully wound so it’s not going to let you down wherever your adventures end up taking you. The movement keeps time via an hour hand, minute hand, and a small seconds display at 6. Yet another classy addition to Hamilton’s impeccable line up of watches.
