New Hamiltons
New Hamiltons
Worn & Wound has an article on some nice variations of two of Hamilton’s best models.
I particularly like the new white dial.

loving that white dial
Re: New Hamiltons
Love the look of that blue chrono.
Re: New Hamiltons
White dial is hot fire.
Re: New Hamiltons
I like that “earth pvd” case treatment. It reminds me of what my grandfather’s tools looked like; worn and well used, but well taken care of.

Re: New Hamiltons
I had heard a rumor that a white dial was coming - guess it was true I wouldn't normally consider buying two of the same watch model, but that white one might make me reconsider.

Re: New Hamiltons
Agree! The white dial model looks nice.
But I do own two Seiko NAFTs... so what do I know

Re: New Hamiltons
I'd wear any of them. Great add.
Re: New Hamiltons
I love the Intra-Matics, but I'd probably go for the panda variant. And that white dial field mechanical looks incredible, even though I have heard some bad things about that new movement.
Re: New Hamiltons
Like that intra-matic..
Re: New Hamiltons
Like the Chrono and need to find 42mm version.
Are the others again 38 with 60mm l2l? F that

Re: New Hamiltons
Curious as to what you’ve heard regarding the movements. I haven’t followed these too closely but I was under the impression they were pretty solid since I don’t recall anything being mentioned here. They are great looking watches.dukerules wrote:I love the Intra-Matics, but I'd probably go for the panda variant.

I like that they don't have "KHAKI" printed on the dial.
Re: New Hamiltons

Re: New Hamiltons
I had a shitton of problems with my Uncrate HKFM with the new H50 movement and ultimately got a refund, but that white dial is making me feel like Michael in Godfather 3

Re: New Hamiltons
I'm confused about the movement discussion. The 38mm handwound Khaki Field uses the ETA 2801-2. Nothing new or special about it, and I've had zero problems with it. The chronograph is a Valjoux 7753 upgraded to a longer power reserve. I haven't owned one of these but would expect it to be pretty reliable considering it's a slightly tweaked tried and true movement.
Re: New Hamiltons
Maybe the concern is with the automatic khaki fields that use the newer H-10. As you said, the mechanicals like these use the ETA. That said, I’ve never heard about any significant problems with the H-10. It does beat at a lower rate than the ETA.logan2z wrote: ↑Sun Feb 03, 2019 1:49 pmI'm confused about the movement discussion.

On edit: Now that I've finally read the link, I see that the new mechanicals are switching to the H-50. Don't know much about that movement (I'm assuming that, like the H-10, it's a more heavily modified ETA - lower beat rate and longer power reserve maybe?). So maybe there are issues as was noted above?

Re: New Hamiltons
Chris, didn't think that these watches could be, or get any nicer !
That white dial version with stainless case really is beyond cool,
and even the "earth PVD" adds a new wrinkle, and is kind of like
a subtle bronze.
Holy cowza, love the new blue, and white Intramatic as well !!!
Another home run by Hamilton, and it's not even spring training.
Thanks so much sir !
