Love me some Hammy

 

As always a lot of it is personal taste, but i have found Hamiltons excellent workhorses and stylish enough for most general situations. I class them, the khaki designs especially, if not always stylistically then functionally, in with several of my Seiko mechanicals, including a '5' I'm quite fond of.

 

I own all three of the Hamiton intra-auto chrono's (Blue panda, evil panda, and panda dials). I absolutely love mine. I also own the Hamilton Khaki Field watch which I love as well. You get quite the bang for your buck with the Hamilton watches in my opinion.

 

I know it's not Vintage, but I think this is a very attractive wristwatch by Hamilton

 

I love the PVD black treatment now available on the Khaki Field Mechanical!

 

Absolutely, I've always yearned after a Hamilton Lyndon CLD after finding out it was in JAWs, Nice case design.

 

Definitely don't mean to change the subject, I love Hamiltons, but in ref to the above, has anyone ever determined it is the CLD and not the Timex? I seem to remember there being some argument on that and always wondered if the Brody character might have worn/had two different watches...

 

Definitely the Hamilton buddy. If you pause the screen where he shoots jaws at the end you can see the shape and style of the lugs. I've got photos somewhere...

 

Great capture! I’ve been looking for a CLD and now have even more motivation

...annnnd an excuse to once again rewatch Jaws

 

1940's Sentinel

 

Got this one recently.. I’ve seen a couple other chronometer Estorils but they’re not common as far as I can tell.

 

That's a beauty
Is it from the 60's?

 

I believe the mid to late 1960s. I don’t know a ton about it to be honest so if anyone has good reference material please share!

 

Where did you find it?

 

Mine says hello.

 

I got it on eBay, came out of LA.

Well I’ll be! I love the bracelet too!

 

I like their military issued ones. Here is one of two I own

 

Start off with the civilian ones

Hamilton sure has a lot of military history.
