Hamilton introduces the all-new Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical timepiece for the season, designed with inspiration drawn from the S10 model. The original influence was made in the 70s for the British military and it retains these militaristic elements through the design.
The watchmakers ensure that it highlights its original design and construction by rebuilding the 36mm stainless steel tonneau shaped steel case. It is protecting a textured black dial with contrasting white numbers, beige indices, and a white printed railroad chapter ring as well. Additional details include the beige light-up triangle at the 12 o'clock section and a sword shaped hour hand and a pencil shaped minute hand. The Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical is now available online and at Hamilton's retail locations.
