Ready or not, the holidays are here. Countdown to Christmas with a Hamilton watch. Hamilton’s rich history, authentic designs and technical excellence have made these watches treasured gifts for generations. What’s more, the diverse collections draw on decades of innovation, skill and design ensuring a perfect wristwatch for your loved ones this holiday season.
Whether you’re celebrating this festive time with adventures in the snow or enjoying the warmth of a roaring fire, we’ve found a timepiece to match all the personalities on your list.
Classic Vintage Style
The Hamilton Intra-Matic Auto Chrono (above), based on one of our most celebrated watches from the 1960s, is a timepiece that is as handsome as it is versatile, especially on a charming, beautifully made stainless steel mesh bracelet.
Alternatively, the Intra-Matic Auto transfers this captivating aesthetic onto a time-only wristwatch. With a dial in contrasting shades of blue and off-white, on a light brown leather strap, it’s a timepiece that oozes sophistication – and not just on the outside. The H-10 automatic movement within is a modern wonder featuring an extended 80-hour power reserve and a balance spring made from NivachronTM, an exclusive new alloy with superior resistance to magnetic fields that ensures accurate and reliable timekeeping even in extreme conditions.
With contrasting colors and timeless design these styles are fan favorites.
Price: $995; $2,245
A Sophisticated Open Heart
While hiding a watch’s movement is more common, putting the mechanics on show brings a new edge. In the Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart, for instance, bold cutouts in the dial reveal the same H-10 movement beating away. This is a contemporary style that works equally at 42mm on a bracelet, or in more feminine form with a mother-of-pearl dial and diamond-decorated 36mm case.
More avant-garde still is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton, which incorporates our famous design signature, the ‘spiky H’, into the cutout structure itself. For urban dressers, design fans and inquisitive people who like to look into the heart of things, these watches will be gifts that surprise and delight.
Show your love with our Jazzmaster Open Heart and Skeleton styles available in a range of colors and sizes for men and women.
Price: $1,245; $1,045
Built for Adventure
For people who like a more rugged, action-ready wristwatch, Hamilton’s Khaki collections are informed by decades of experience creating watches for both military and aviation purposes. The all-black Hamilton Khaki Field King Auto is a stealthy modern take on the original soldier’s watch we produced in World War II.
Meanwhile, the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Converter is a chronograph for those who love to fly, with a bi-directional, rotating ‘slide-rule’ bezel that enables mathematical calculations in flight. The function can be applied to critical factors like airspeed, distance, fuel consumption, rate of climb or descent and flight time, and can also make various unit conversions including kilometers/nautical miles, pounds/kilograms, feet/meters, or even convert currency for those flying internationally.
Fly high with our Khaki Aviation Converter, or explore the night with our all-black Khaki Field King Auto.
Price: $1,995; $695
Classic Retro Designs
Hamilton has been at the forefront of groundbreaking technology and trend-setting design over the decades, as demonstrated by the latest versions of two of their most classic wristwatches. The retro-futuristic aesthetic of the Hamilton Ventura was first devised in 1957 when the very first-ever battery-powered wristwatch was unveiled. Sported by Elvis Presley himself, and the official watch of the “Men in Black” uniform, the Ventura is a daring unisex timepiece.
In 1970, Hamilton changed the world once again with the announcement of the very first digital electronic wristwatch, the Pulsar. That timepiece is now reborn with all its space age-era styling intact in the new Hamilton PSR. With time displayed in red digital numerals on a black screen via LCD and OLED hybrid technology, its charismatic design is just as sought after today.
Impress the trendsetters on your list with a daring and innovative timepiece. The triangular-shaped Ventura is perfect for Elvis fans, and the space-age PSR is the epitome of cool.
Price: $845; $745
This holiday season give your loved ones a gift they will treasure for a lifetime: a Hamilton watch to match their personal style.
