Considering a Hamilton watch?

The Hamilton Watch Company has a history that began in America as one of their leading watch manufacturers, but it now combines that American identity with Swiss technology from current brand owners as part of the Swatch Group. In its early years, a Hamilton watch had a reputation for accuracy and good time keeping producing pocket watches to help with accuracy on railroads. Their popularity continued through World War II and into the age of the digital watch and today a Hamilton watch will keep you just as up to date with the latest technology and trends, including such styles as a cutting edge Hamilton pilot watch from the Hamilton Khaki range and other models such as the Hamilton X-Wind or the Hamilton X-Copter.

The big screen

A Hamilton watch’s rich history does not contain itself to real life. With eye catching styles and shapes, the company is proud of the big screen appearances that a Hamilton watch has made with Hamilton Khaki watches featuring in the recent Superman remake, a Hamilton Khaki watch in the Italian Job remake and a Hamilton Khaki watch making it into Legally Blonde II.

Heritage – Aviation

The Hamilton watch has had a long history with aviation. A Hamilton watch played its part in the pioneering era of aviation when pilots used the Hamilton watch in their calculations of air and wind speed and used a Hamilton watch to time their communication via radio when en route. This association with all things aviation continues today with the Hamilton pilot watch models within the Hamilton Khaki range, for example, the Hamilton Khaki GMT Air Race and other such titled models as the Hamilton X-Copter and Hamilton X-Wind.

Which watch to choose?

A Hamilton watch says quality and here at Flightstore, we are an authorised dealer of Hamilton watches and stock models from the Hamilton Khaki range including the Hamilton pilot watch, Hamilton X-Copter and the Hamilton X-Wind. Each has different features. The Hamilton pilot watch, the Khaki GMT Air Race, was worn by Nicola Ivanoff, a French Red Bull Air Race Pilot who also inspired this Hamilton pilot watch and its unique feature of a ‘silent countdown’ – which Nicolas used when sitting in a noisy cockpit!

The Hamilton X-Copter has practical features such as a take-off weight calculator and a temperature converter. The Hamilton X-Copter is also distinctive due to the bold letter H placed at 6 o’clock as a miniature ‘helipad’.

The Hamilton X-Wind continues with the main themes of Hamilton’s brand with a reliable but innovative time piece with a state of the art automatic chronograph which is designed for aviation uses and includes compass bearings and temperature conversation. The Hamilton X-Wind has a unique added feature for calculating the cross-wind components.
