Hamilton Khaki Pilot<br />

Pioneer Mechanical<br />

In a further homage to the<br />

’70s (when its predecessor<br />

the Hamilton W10 was<br />

produced), the black dial is<br />

textured to recall camera or<br />

binocular cases of the time.<br />

You may be surprised to learn<br />

that Hamilton, the famous<br />

American watchmaker, supplied<br />

timepieces to the British Armed<br />

Forces in the 1970s. <strong>The</strong> most<br />

popular was the Hamilton W10<br />

from 1973, which is today<br />

reborn in the hand-wound Khaki<br />

Pilot Pioneer Mechanical with<br />

80-hour power reserve. <strong>The</strong><br />

military redux watch – which<br />

comes with a brown leather or<br />

grey NATO strap – stays faithful<br />

to its forerunner with a curved<br />

tonneau case, faded black dial<br />

with beige accents, and cool<br />

mismatched hands: swordshaped<br />

for hours, pencil-shaped<br />

for minutes. hamiltonwatch.com<br />
