this old design is cool....
but hamilton not associate this to any historic watch design....
a US brand but the design are more like a old german pilot watch.... so kinda funny combination!
sorry, not so much knowledge on US army pilot watch design...
so i can only think of tutima kind of coin edge bezel, german pilot kind of big oinion crown.....

but very hamilton kinda arabic number....

42mm is a normal size nowadays!

wow...I like this design.

the fluted bezel;
the onion crown;
the vintage color of the hands and the dial and numerals;
the nato-like leather pilot rivet strap.

i miss classic design like this for a long time.

The Speed bird and IWC mark pilot watch i think should be like the size of Submariner. I still prefer the older smaller IWC mark pilot too bad the JLC movement got problem.

Hiaz. i still prefer small watch.

The one i am looking now is Sinn 656



Really nice design and it has antimagnetic not tomention it is only around 38 mm :Praying:

Agree with yan and yen.

I like the arabic numerals and vintage colour (possibly lumed?) on the hands and dial. Overall, numerals and the hands blends together very well.

But the onion crown looks a little out of place.

But still a  :thumbsup: for me. Hamiltons have very limited range in Malaysia. Doubt that this will even reach our shores.

Really nice :thumbsup: but too costly :thumbsdown:

Some share of profit will go to an organisation working for environmental conservation, that's great  :thumbsup:
