The characteristic design of the Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer, inspired by the Model 23, top-quality pocket watches used by American soldiers during the Second World War, is a tribute to Hamilton’s aviation and military heritage. These 43 mm mechanical pilot watches with exceptionally legible numerals, hands and an outer railway-track scale have a sporty yet refined character, ready for flight.
The entire Khaki Field range focuses primarily on very good legibility, which was the most important factor for military use. Khaki Field watches are made for life’s adventurers and are guaranteed to meet your needs in the field.
Inside the case, the Swiss mechanical movement ETA 6498-1 with manual winding ticks reliably. It operates at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour and features 17 jewels and, above all, a 46-hour power reserve. The movement can be observed through the transparent case back.
The bronze case is complemented by a well-made leather strap with a silver pin buckle.
The model stands out for excellent legibility and easy clarity, which is required for military watches. The dial, which clearly reflects its military inspiration, is protected by a sapphire crystal. A sapphire crystal is a major advantage in a watch, as it is almost impossible to scratch. The anti-reflective coating ensures excellent legibility even in bright sunlight.
The hands and indices are coated with Super-LumiNova luminescent material, which ensures longer-lasting glow.
The 43 mm case diameter places the watch among larger men’s watches. The watch has a water resistance of 100 m (10 ATM), so it can handle greater contact with water, such as swimming.

The Hamilton brand was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, originally to produce only pocket watches. Thanks to the accuracy of the Hamilton watch, the problem of frequent accidents in the early days of railroad transportation in the United States was solved. It was the superior quality and accuracy of the first Hamilton pocket watches, as well as the ability to innovate and act quickly while maintaining high standards, that first caught the attention of the US military as early as 1914. As an official supplier to the US armed forces during World War I, Hamilton equipped hundreds of soldiers with reliable watches. This led to a shift in production from pocket watches to more comfortable wristwatches, a change that has stuck.
Groundbreaking, practical and precise: Hamilton uses a unique combination of Swiss precision and American spirit to create distinctive, versatile watches for style-conscious lovers. Hamilton has a long history and has achieved numerous milestones, all of which have contributed to making Hamilton the strong and internationally recognized watch brand it is today.
Helveti.eu is an authorized dealer and specialist of the Hamilton brand.
