·Hamilton 950B, 23-jewels, adjusted for heat, cold, isochronism, adjusted to 6 positions, circa 1944. Bar over crown case. Patented motor barrel. One of my faves.
Any Hamilton fans?

- Fits the watch’s lugs perfectly
- Solid and attached end links
- As smooth and soft as any bracelet I’ve seen, including my Rolex Sub or Planet Ocean bracelet
- The 20 to 18 taper results in perfect weight and feel. Not heavy at all, but not dainty, “light and jangly” (yeah, I know…)
- Brushed/matte finish without looking dull
- Sturdy signed double clasp
No negatives. 👍

·These watches have pretty long lugs and look great with any NATO
But I prefer a bracelet for nearly every watch I own!

··Sunburst dial fanMy first Hamilton.
Looks to have a monocoque case so I can’t check if it’s a 66A or an ETA 2452 and, since the seller had it serviced (and it runs very well) and fitted a new crystal, it's unlikely that I’ll be sending it off to my watch repairer (fingers crossed).

Just a (possible) correction.
Having searched the web, I have come across an identical watch circa 1970, which has a Hamilton 694A movement (ETA 2472).
My model would appear to be a Hamilton’Dateline' A580 or A577. if this isn’t getting into too much detail.

·I have picked up 2 vintage Hamilton Khaki 9415(?) by chance over the past year and absolutely enjoy wearing them. They're small, by modern standards, at around 33mm but they're a perfect utilitarian field watch and still relatively affordable.

·I’m considering adding a Hamilton Khaki Field to my collection…the 42mm version…however, I’m concerned about the fact that it comes with their H-10 movement. According to what I’ve read, it will be difficult to find a local watch maker to service this movement correctly, and it should be sent to Hamilton if/when it requires regulating.

·My new HKF42 arrived yesterday. Very nice build quality, and sits just right on my 7” wrist.

·Hamilton Thin-o-matic cal 628 micro-rotor, c.1965.
Fairly normal sized men's watch for the era, but then with very small lug-width (& super-skinny strap...). Guess the designers just wanted to try something different.

It's a classic watch, IMO (even though I like and own the smaller case).
