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 />
