Hamilton’s first watch left the factory in 1893, a 17-jewel pocket watch. The company has come a long way since then and has also transformed from an American to a Swiss Manufacturer, currently under the Swatch Group (one of the largest watch manufacturers and distributors). 2018 marks 100 years of providing pilots with accurate and reliable timepieces, and the company is celebrating with its latest pilot series, the Khaki Pilot Auto Day Date. Combining design elements from previous collections, the new pilot’s watches have a vintage feel with modern touches. They’re also approachable with competitive prices, despite a Swiss automatic movement with day/date complication.
