Hamilton CEO Dolla presents the 33x36 mm Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical

#timematters #hamiltonwatch
Hamilton already supplied the U.S. Armed Forces in the 1940s. The brand provided thousands of watches to the British Army during the late 1960s and 1970s. One of the most popular watches was the so called "W10", which Hamilton produced between 1973 and 1976. The "W10" was mainly issued to pilots.
The 2019 Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer is a re-edition of the "W10". The 33 x 36 mm stainless steel case (isn't this a good size for all of you seeking for a smaller watch?) is brushed to avoid unnecessary glare. The matt dial and box-shaped crystal with double anti-reflective coating also keep the readability up and reflections low. The Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer powered by the "H-50" hand-wound calibre with 80 hours of power reserve.

Ohh thank God someone finally understandd that you put a watch on the wrist and not your wrist on a watch. More companies should follow this and make smaller pieces.

[@jucluva]

WatchAdvisor Alex, I just love this last comment. Please keep the great work as usual and my congratulations to Sylvain D also for leading Hamilton to this way. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@steven821130]

I'm going to buy this one soon. My wrist is only approximately 5.75-6 inches depending on the weather. My current everyday watch is a Blancpain FF Bathyscaphe 38mm. I'd like to add this classic military watch into my collection. The size is really perfect for people with smaller wrists. Really happy that Hamilton decided to go for this case diameter! (The 38mm Khaki mechanical is also great, but I agree with some people that the lug to lug length should be shorter. A 47mm lug to lug length is really too long and kind of out of proportion.)

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and passion with us! Let me know if you have questions… any may your cool FF always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…

[@heisenberg470]

Completely agree. In fact I have that watch and now I want to sell it, I'm not satisfied with it on my 6 inches wrist. The maximum lug-to-lug with should be 45mm.

@@Joe-xo3xy I agree, faux patina is getting out of fashion, and I would personally like regular lume more

[@shotgunmcshotgun1142]

Joey Fadel thing is with modern lume is that it doesn’t go this nice beige colour, it’ll just stay white forever so watch manufacturers just like this colour scheme and go for it

[@stevek8829]

The mystery (to me) is how they position this at a higher price than their khaki mechanical line. What makes it more expensive? I like the absence of the inner 24 hr ring. Anyone who actually uses 24 time knows those positions just fine.

[@Kairosdex]

@@WatchAdvisor Its a nice military field watch and it's nice that they are catering to smaller sizes, but for me it's that chronograph!

[@NonyaDamnbusiness]

Hamilton is still my favorite brand. I still wear a '78 Hamilton mil-issue field watch that was recently serviced (even though it's technically not a serviceable movement) and it keeps time really well. My day-to-day is a Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical and this new cushion-cased Pilot is right up my alley and I will be buying one soon. Wasn't a fan of the Khaki Field Watch re-issue but this "newer" Pilot is 100m w/r compared to the 50m w/r of the other one. FYI, I was stationed at Ray Barracks in Friedberg, Germany - where Elvis was stationed - from '95 to '07. Lovely little town right on Frankfurt's doorstep.

[@WatchAdvisor]

What a nice read! When people often reduce buying a watch to only an investment emotional stories like yours are my answer I give them. A watch is such an emotional product and filled day by day with more and more emotions...

The Arrow, also nicknamed in the British military as a Crows Foot, is used by the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) on anything issued to the British military, army, royal navy, royal air force. So if you find a watch with the Arrow mark, it would have been an original UK military issue watch.

Release that chronograph on a brushed and tapered oyster bracelet. Throw away the rotor and make it hand wind only. 38-41mm. 10-12mm thick. Throw in a nato in the package. Charge 1500USD +/- Make sure it's a screw down crown!! Offer 100m WR. Happy company; happy fans.

[@WatchAdvisor]

There won’t be any „Oyster“-bracelet similar to existing ones, but Hamilton could offer a good looking bracelet as an option you have to pay for (+ 100-150). If the chronograph comes to the market it will be delivered with a leather/tissue/Nato-strap. Maybe both... And 1500 are in my opinion not feasible, that’s simply not enough to realize such a watch. Add another 1000 ... All the other wishes you have are pretty realistic...

[@JustinSerda]

@@WatchAdvisor I think it could be done for around 2000USD. If they take the H-31 caliber from the modern Intra-Matic Auto Chrono, delete the date complication and remove the rotorworks, they would have a watch that would easily meet Lliam's requests. Less the date complication and automatic winding it could be priced at or below the Intra-Matic which is listed at 2195USD today. Stick a $2k price tag on that watch and I'm sold...right after I finish saving up for my Intra-Matic.

Put the broad arrow back on the dial where it belongs. The W10 has always been mechanical, or quartz. Indicating that the movement is mechanical on the dial is a nonsense. None of the changes made to the dial are an improvement. The W10 wasn't broken; but you fixed it anyway. I do appreciate the movement update. That was a brilliant move, slowing down the beat in order to achieve an 80 hour power reserve. And, increasing the WR to 100M was a brilliant move. But why didn't you implement a screw down back?

Hello from Australia Alexander, I just happened to purchase my first Hamilton without ever seeing one in person.It isn't a brand you see much over here.. The big power reserve, day date function and 24 hr markings made it very appealing to me for my day to day work. I ordered a Black Khaki 42mm with the H40 movement which should arrive any day now. What are your thoughts? Have you handled these before?

[@Nixxtrr]

@@WatchAdvisor Great news, my watch has arrived! I really like the symmetry of the dial lay out the placement of the day and date complications look just right to me. I thought that the all black case and dial may make the watch wear a little bit smaller but it does indeed wear every bit a 42 mm watch. Perfect for my 7 1/4" wrist. It would be nice if the lume was brighter as I work in low light conditions alot but maybe it is not possible with the grey colour numerals. The 80 hour power reserve is maybe the best part. No having to reset the time after a long weekend!

[@WatchAdvisor]

@@Nixxtrr Yes, normally black makes things appear smaller ... At first sight maybe, but if you look closer you will still be able to discover the true size. When wearing a watch with a diameter of 42 mm you feel these 42 mm on your wrist, so I think black can't change too much. Its a cool watch though, so enjoy it!

@@Joe-xo3xy I'll explain. First of all yes of course fliegers are pilot's watches - GMT movements simply didn't exist back then. It wasn't until 1955 the first GMT Master was created [Hans Wilsdorf, Rolex]. So in my opinion, from 1955 onward GMT should have been incorporated into all of them, period.

Loses a lot of its appeal by removing the broad arrow symbol. Other brands use it on their watches so it's not impossible. Sounds like they just didn't want to go through the effort of getting the rights to use it.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Maybe they should have done this ... maybe they just respected the fact that Swatch Group sister company Omega presented its new James Bond Seamaster with the Broad Arrow ... 😉

[@tdbn4599]

Maybe not. I like the exceptionality of watches with broad arrow. Having this insignia meant that the equipment was service issued and not for commercial purposes. In my opinion, buying the rights of the symbol and slapping it on a product diminishes its historical significance. Anyway, keep up the good work WatchAdvisor!

[@jinoy5002]

The arrow is earned leave it to the ones who deserve it. This watch was given free to the men in-service. To add the arrow then sell it commercial than makes no sense at all.

Watch Advisor, please advise Hamilton to make a 38mm or 40mm version of this watch.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Everybody is seeking for smaller sizes... Read the hundreds of comments on our channel... Now you want the watch to be bigger... Why?

[@yeth3569]

@@WatchAdvisor In your Rado Captian Cook video, you said 37mm is a big watch in 1962 but today it is a nice watch for women.

[@WatchAdvisor]

YE TH Yes, I said! This was before everyone - even man - again wanting to wear these sizes... There is a demand and I adapted my communication a little 😉

“Below 40mm” doesn’t mean shrink it by 4mm!!! Yes, 40mm is too big, but 36mm is too small! I’m always amazed how manufacturers continue to make this basic mistake. 1mm difference is a huge change for case diameter. 37-38mm would have been great. My money will,stay in my pocket.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Lots of others were very happy about exactly that size… Tastes are different! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@smarley678]

@@WatchAdvisor So true! It would just be great if some of the tastes drove the development of a 38mm watch! Thanks for your review and video!

[@WatchAdvisor]

@@smarley678 Of course! I hear you! I am as well not into so small watches… prefer bigger sizes, got used to them after the last decades…

[@BrakkoJanus]

Hamilton already has a full line of Khaki Field in 38mm, this 36mm makes perfect sense.

[@Not-a-bot222]

This is my 2nd 36mm watch. I’ll most likely only buy 36-37 with 45 max lug to lug. It’s a shame because my Damasko doesn’t get much wrist time anymore. It is 39mm and 47mm. Great watch but seems so big. And I have a muscular build with larger wrists to. If Connery can rock the tiny sub in 007 men today can too. My daily is the 36mm MSAR marathon auto. Great watch, recommend.
