Sorry, for the delay, just saw this message.

 

I am receiving a Khaki Field Auto Chronograph in a couple days. VERY EXCITED!

 

That's a beauty @Vanallard My buddy Jarett has a nice and rare one I haven't been able to pry off his wrist. Looks like your Tempus but with a Hamilton Cross Country disk.

 

what strap is on your X-33? Very summertime

 

It's an orange rubber strap from Hirsch - the colour isn't quite right on the photo, it's a bit less sickly looking in real life.

I assume you meant the Flight Timer, but if interested, my X-33 was originally a Kevlar strap Gen 1, but came to me on an Omega titanium bracelet like the current Skywalkers, the Kevlar having presumably long ago disintegrated.

 

There are several refurbished high end Hamilton electrics for sale on Ebay right now.
At least one has the gold balance and contacts replaced with NOS parts.
The seller appears to know their stuff when it comes to restoring these to factory specs.

yes sorry for that and cheers for the info - $58 is a good deal for that Hirsch

 

I like it - the only thing is that on my 7" wrist, I am on the last hole, so I would probably check the sizing more carefully next time.

 

Gave my sister the Greenwich above, so yay, that's out of the house.

However, I got this one back:



That is a 10K-filled "cld" Langdon with caliber 747 movement. I had given it to her daughter for fancy dress-up with a Champion "short" strap. You can see it's still set to 10:10; not only did she never wear it, she never even wound it.

So now I have to find a home for this one!

 

Yes, he usually updates his site every week... when he's not climbing a mountain or circumnavigating the globe.

But I have it on good authority that he has recently returned from his latest high country adventure and will be updating his site this week or next with some vintage Hamiltons.

 

My pair of Hamilton field watches. My Hamilton GG-W-113 next to the modern interpretation.

 

Khaki Field

 

Hamilton movement inside. Promise.

 

Just the two,

 

I like them enough to wear a silver Khaki Field automatic. Great everyday watch, mine has the H-10 caliber, 80 hour power reserve.

 

Picked this one up from my watchmaker today. 1950s solid 14k gold Hartman with swivel lugs.

 

Isn’t this a “Rodney”?

 

It’s similar to a Rodney but far less common. From the 1953 catalogue
