Hamilton's 2018 X-Wind Line Fuses Elegance & Historic Value

Hamilton's aviation-inspired watches are sleek, refined and top of the line. The high level of precision and the extremely functional aesthetic of the product really comes as no surprise given the company's history as the official supplier of the US Armed Forces for over a century.

In 2018, the label produces a brand new interpretation of its iconic X-Wind collection. The aviation-inspired watches attentively mimic the instruments that are affiliated with the profession, offering an incredibly functional timepiece that can prove useful for both pilots and people on-land. Truly a noteworthy piece, the Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono boasts a water-resistant and stainless steel exterior with a drift angle calculator that will aid pilots in calculating and recording crosswinds along the planned trajectory.
