Title: Hamilton LE Khaki Aviation Fuel Converter Series
Post by: Paulkky on September 09, 2011, 11:59:14 AM
Make another catch last month for my 1st Hamilton

This model was intro in 2009 with limited edition of 999pcs.
Running on ETA Valjoux 7750.
46mm without the crown.

Love the watch dial design, but it would be perfect if comes in metal bracelet instead of rubber.....
What you guys think?..

Ck

Frankly, I also donna how to read.. :Laughing_on_floor:
Didn't manage to go thru the manual yet..
I think is mainly for pilots to read on the fuel goin into the plane while refueling, or do conversion between gallons & litre..

Nice watch! Even at 46mm, the watch looks just nice on u.
I guess if i were to go for 46mm, it would look like i am wearing an alarm clock... Lol
Enjoy ur new toy bro...

Another 7750, hmmm, should organise a yum cha to check the different 7750, but I like the date change part of the watch, like a swiftly effect with next number queuing to be displayed  :Cheers:

Wear for good health  :thumbsup:

What you have is a circular slide rule. In this case, I suspect that the bezel is fixed, so basically you have a slide rule to do do conversion from US Gallons to Liters. On your watch you have both the inner and outer scale reading from 10 to 90. This is a C and D log scale.

When using the slide rule, remember to ignore the decimal place, but use the the two digits closest to your input value. For example if you want to input 5, you look at 50, if you want to input 2.5, you look at 25. If you want to input 100, you look at 10, 230 you look at 23. You adjust the decimal place after the calculations.

Since your bezel is fixed (sorry if I am wrong), the calculations is rather simple. 1 US Gallons is 3.79 liters. So if you want to calculate say how many liters is 20 US Gallons, look at 20 on the inner scale and it will align to about 76 liters. If you want to know how many liters is 3.5 US Gallons, you look at 35 on the inner scale and it will align with 13.3 liters.

Hope that helps.

Wow! Slide rule on a watch.  :Startled:
What else would they think of next.
The last time I handled a slide rule was back in the days before electric calculators - my uncle had 1 when he was in uni.
Great looking watch, Paulkky. 
Take care, Ciao!  :thumbsup:
