As a special “bonus giveaway” this month, we are pleased to offer one lucky winner a Hamilton Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono watch, the same model as the timepiece worn by actor Liam Hemsworth (who plays the character Jake Morrison) in the new movie Independence Day: Resurgence. Hamilton has a few watches in the new Twentieth […]
In the past couple of years, many brands have dug into their archives to release reissues or vintage-inspired pieces. Some have been hits, while some other have been misses. Personally, I find that the convenience of buying a new watch that looks like an old one trumps the homework – and some of the thrill, […]
Sponsored Post written by Rob Caplan In 2012, Hamilton came out with a 46mm limited edition Navy Pioneer. This watch was a manual wind watch/clock combination that took design cues from the massive Hamilton marine chronometers from the 1940s that were produced during World War II. In 2013, Hamilton came out with a 40mm version […]
In anticipation of Baselworld 2016, we see the re-release of the Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman, a purpose-built diver that was the choice of the U.S. Navy in the first half of the 20th century for its tactical dive teams. It was also an important model in the history of Hamilton on the silver screen, being the first watch […]

We look forward to your wristshots! Thank you to everyone who enters each of our monthly watch giveaways here on aBlogtoWatch, and don’t forget […]
Baselworld, thank goodness, is not exclusively about the most complicated, the most exclusive, the super expensive. There are relatively much more affordable, fun, and cool watches too, and when we covered the Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman release a few moons back, I put it on my list of “must-see pieces at BaselWorld 2016.” See it […]
The Hamilton Jazzmaster Face 2 Face II Limited Edition is an update to Hamilton’s 2013 Jazzmaster Face 2 Face with new redesigned dial layouts, the introduction of a “passing-through chronograph seconds hand,” and a new movement. Remaining from the first version is the very interesting rotating case, which pivots on the horizontal access of the […]
The venerable Hamilton Khaki remains one of the best “field-style” watches around with its retro military looks and adaptation to modern male aesthetics. Over the years, Hamilton has produced an endless variation of Khaki models, and the larger Hamilton Khaki collection today includes timepieces that you might not even traditionally bulk into the Khaki watch […]
Given their proclivity for aviation and military-inspired models, it can be easy to forget that Hamilton has a proven wild side. It’s true, the same company that makes the Khaki Field, the Intra-matic 38, and the Jazzmaster, also makes the eccentric Face 2 Face. Born as an out-of-this-world tribute to Hamilton’s involvement in films like […]
Navigating the watch segment of €500 to €1,200 is like sailing in stormy seas. To get to safe harbour at the end of the year as one of the best-selling brands is a veritable feat, especially if there is a perfect storm brewing in the form of low sales, cut-throat competition, and the emergence of […]
