Hamilton has been a close partner of the movie industry for a long time. In fact, the brand released its first series of pocket watches – “Broadway Limited” back in the 1890s.

These automatic models feature functional power reserves ranging between 60 and 80 hours. The design is clean and sleek, with vertical lines contributing to a pleasing upward-looking effect. All three models feature a red-tipped seconds hand providing a legible accent with Hamilton’s signature twin-faceted lugs with polished/satin-finished facets. The Auto Chrono option comes with a tachymeter scale; the Day Date Auto comes with a calendar window at 6 o‘clock position; the Day Date Quartz comes with a cheeky back design.  With a wide range of selections, Hamilton Broadway will definitely appeal to youthful urban travelers.

2016 Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman

 Hamilton made its very first on-screen appearance in 1951 after creating their first submersible watch. It has since been deemed a leader in military grade watches. The 2016 Edition of Frogman is available in different variations that suit every diver’s needs. With a large black dial, a red unidirectional rotating bezel and luminescent triple-facetted hands, the 46 mm titanium model is clearly built to meet the high demands of its underwater vocation. The sturdy titanium case can withstand water-resistance to 1,000 meters / 100 bar and a helium valve can equal out the internal and external pressures in saturation diving conditions. The H-10 caliber with its 80-hour power reserve proves just as useful on land as below the sea. In addition, the collection comprises of 42 mm stainless steel versions that may also be fitted with a triple-row bracelet secured by a smart adjustment folding clasp. Appreciating the beauty of ladies, Hamilton has created several mesmerizing wristwatches for ladies to accentuate their unique charm.

Jazzmaster Open Heart Lady & Khaki Navy Pioneer Lady

A raised mother-of-pearl lotus floats in the center of the 34 mm Jazzmaster Open Heart Lady, exuding a magical sense of suspension and depth. The soft linden green leather or pristine white satin strap featuring a super practical easy-click system shines together with the five-row metal counterpart, picking up the sheen of the mother-of-pearl. Bevel edge of this art piece is satin-brushed polished and the open dial is diamond-cut. With a delicate appearance, it is water-resistant to 5 bar. The Khaki Navy line with a smaller 36 mm Khaki Navy Pioneer Lady is dedicated specifically to women. This model with its trim stainless steel case (with or without a rose PVD coating depending on the version) is framed by a finely serrated bezel featuring a Clous de Paris hobnail motif. The H-10 automatic movement is visible through the open back. The tone-on-tone effect of the opaline-finish silver-toned dial is offset by flame-blued or rose gold-plated hands and a classically elegant dark or light brown leather strap. This finely structured timepiece is filled with retro and feminine charm.
