Key Features
- Swiss-Made Mechanical Movement: Powered by a hand-wound mechanical caliber, this watch offers traditional craftsmanship and consistent timekeeping without the need for a battery. The mechanical movement appeals to enthusiasts who value the tactile ritual of daily winding and the authenticity of manual horology. As a self-sufficient mechanism, it reflects Hamilton’s commitment to precision engineering and long-standing watchmaking traditions.
- 38mm Stainless Steel Case with Earth PVD Coating: The compact yet substantial 38mm case strikes a balance between vintage proportions and modern wearability, fitting comfortably on most wrist sizes. The stainless steel construction is finished with Hamilton’s distinctive “Earth” PVD coating—a weathered, matte tone that enhances the watch’s military character and provides added resistance to scratches and wear over time.
- Green Dial with High-Contrast Luminous Markers: The dark green dial features light-colored Arabic numerals and triangular hour markers, all coated with Super-LumiNova® in an old radium hue. This design ensures excellent visibility in low-light environments, staying true to the original field watch specifications used by military personnel. The luminous treatment charges quickly under light and glows steadily in the dark, maintaining functionality without compromising the vintage look.
- Durable Textile NATO Strap: The included textile NATO strap is built for resilience and practicality. Its robust construction withstands daily wear, outdoor exposure, and moisture, while the design allows for easy adjustment and quick drying. The strap’s simplicity and strength make it ideal for active lifestyles, and its classic military styling complements the watch’s overall aesthetic.
- Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal: The front crystal is made from sapphire, one of the hardest transparent materials available, offering exceptional resistance to scratches and impacts. This ensures the dial remains clear and unblemished even after prolonged use in demanding environments, preserving both function and appearance.
- 50m Water Resistance: Rated for water resistance up to 50 meters (5 ATM), the watch can handle splashes, rain, handwashing, and brief immersion in water. While not suitable for swimming or diving, this level of protection makes it reliable for everyday exposure to moisture and light water activities.
