Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical Chronograph
Boasting a distinct vintage military aviation design, the new Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical Chronograph brings back the form and function of the chronographs issued to British Royal Air Force pilots in the 1970s.
The black-grained dial of this manual-winding chronograph spotlights two horizontally aligned subdials measuring chronograph minutes and running seconds.
Hands coated in a white lacquer consistent with the original RAF models further the Pilot Pioneer’s heritage appeal, as does a layer of Super-LumiNova®. Also used on the dial markings, its beige-tone is reminiscent of the patina found today in vintage radium-based lume and ensures clarity in low light conditions.
Distinctive features such as a right-side case bulge designed to protect the crown and pushers, as well as a dome-shaped ‘box’ crystal with double anti-reflective coating also nod to its historic use as a critical aviation tool.
The watch is equipped with the high-performance H-51-Si mechanical movement, introduced in 2021. This hand-winding chronograph caliber features a silicon balance spring and offers 60-hour power reserve.
Dressed in a 40mm diameter stainless steel case, the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical Chronograph comes with a vintage themed brown leather strap.
