Hamilton Khaki X-Wind

Hamilton is a traditionally American watch manufacturer that has been delighting its clientele since its inception in 1892. The company is renowned for introducing many firsts in the world of timekeeping and continues to produce technically innovative watches to this day.

The Khaki X-Wind Automatic provides a perfect companion on the wrist. The timepiece is evidently a part of the Khaki Aviation collection and therefore – just like its sister model the Khaki Pilot – falls under the specific field of aviation. Launched in 2006, the watch model is equipped with a modern drift-angle calculator, by which pilots can precisely calculate the crosswinds that they will experience during their planned routes. This reliable calculation has never before been possible through the use of a timepiece; further demonstrating Hamilton’s unique and innovative technical features.

Although the Hamilton X-Wind is a watch that exhibits technical finesse, it can still be used in everyday situations. The watch is comprised of a contemporary design and incorporates a handy chronograph feature. The Khaki X-Wind adds a touch of sporty design to any wrist and complements the personal style notes of any ensemble. Like many other Hamilton timepieces, the Hamilton X-Wind convinces with reliable technology and impresses with a unique design.

The stylish Hamilton X-Wind Auto Chrono (Ref. H77616533) does not only impress with its sensational functionality but also with its distinctive aesthetic design elements. The Hamilton X-Wind is fitted with a durable stainless steel case that measures 44-millimeters in diameter. The watch dial incorporates a day and date indication that is located at the 9 o’clock marker. In addition, the chronograph display is complemented by exquisite silver applications that provide beautiful contrasting elements against the sleek black dial.

The energetic yet charming watch is powered by the calibre H-21 and exudes a particularly sporty feel with sleek baton indices and bold Arabic numerals. The luminescent hands of the watch provide optimal readability in variously lit environments. The Hamilton X-Wind is simply convincing in every respect, including water resistance that is guaranteed up to 10-meters, a screw-down crown, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Of course, the Hamilton X-Wind is also equipped with the innovative drift-angle calculator, which enables the precise calculations of crosswinds experienced during aviation flights. High-grade design elements include a modern light brown leather strap that is complemented with bright stitching.

A special edition of the Hamilton Khaki X-Wind was introduced at Baselworld 2014. The stainless steel case of the timepiece measures an impressive 45-millimeters. At the centre of the watch ticks a mechanical movement with automatic winding – the calibre H-21 with 60-hour power reserve. The Khaki X-Wind limited edition also incorporates the original drift angle calculator.

The elegant dial of the watch is optionally available in brushed black with dark grey elements or a silver dial with dark grey elements. The dial of the watch is further fitted with a date and weekday display that is positioned at the 9 o’clock marker. A robust anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the elaborate structure of the watch. Furthermore, the timepiece can be fitted with a stainless steel bracelet or a black rubber strap with a steel buckle. The two variants of the contemporary Hamilton Khaki X-Wind timepiece are limited to 1999 copies each.

It is not only the exceptionally strong design of the Hamilton Khaki X-Wind that convinces watch connoisseurs, but also the technological highlights of the timepiece that stand out in the watchmaking crowd. The timepiece has come to find its way on the silver screen and has been featured around the wrist of many prominent individuals and worldwide celebrities. Jean-Claude Van Damme, for example, is a fan of the high tech design of the Khaki X-Wind Automatic. The timepiece has also played the role of an important prop in the 1951 film Frogmen.

Hamilton has shown a large presence in Hollywood and has been featured in more than 300 films to date. Timepieces from the classic American brand convince with over 100 years of experience in producing innovative solutions and high-quality timepieces.
