Pre-Basel 2018: Hamilton Doubles Down on Its American Heritage
This year and moving forward, Hamilton plans to leverage that history and heritage even more, as evidenced by one of its highlight products, the Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm.
This timepiece has everything that makes Hamilton special – it is inspired by military watches the brand made during World War II, it has a subtle, matt finished steel case that is a great size, it has a very legible dial, it is hand wound, which harkens back to a “simpler” time, and it’s priced so right, $475, that it is sure to become a best seller.
The watch just about screams American, which is exactly what Hamilton wanted.
As a former resident of Lancaster, PA, where Hamilton was founded, I have a certifiable soft spot for the brand. As a result, I am happy to see the brand continue to focus on its heritage, history and legacy as an American watchmaking pioneer.
And I can’t wait to get my hands on that sweet Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm.
