Buying Your First Swiss Watch? - Why Hamilton Is The Best Under $500 + Unboxing The Ultimate Khaki

Подробнее о видео

Whether you're looking to buy your first high quality, Swiss-made watch, or searching for something unique, historically or horologically important, or simply in the market for something cool, new or vintage to add to your existing collection, Hamilton tops the list for watches under $500. So what do they offer compared to the many heavyweight Swiss brands in this price range? In today's video I share my top picks from Hamilton's new collections, including the Khaki Mechanical 38 Manual Wind, the Khaki Automatic, and the Khaki King, and why I believe these are the perfect affordable, Swiss made, everyday, do-it-all watches. I discuss the rich, illustrious history of Hamilton, their many horological innovations and vast array of designs, and sweet spots in the vintage market. I also share an unboxing of a rare vintage watch I managed to score for a bargain (just under $300) to highlight the kind of lost gems you can still find in 2022, and why it's one of the ultimate field watches out there—and an absolute strap monster. Join me for a Hamilton extravaganza and personal love letter to a brand that's very close to my heart.
