HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

This watch was bought by us new in June 2020.  Unworn except for testing and photography.

CONDITION

If you like the appearance of military or vintage chronographs, but worry about servicing, reliability or water resistance then this is the watch for you.  The design of this is based on the watches that Hamilton provided for the Ministry of Defence, but with some upgrades.  The manual movement is swapped for an automatic, and a date has been added.  The size has been increased too to suit a modern buyer.  The movement is badged a Hamilton H-31, but is in fact an ETA 7753 and therefore has an impressive 60 hour reserve.  The asymmetric case from the original has been recreated, but that is now topped with a sapphire crystal rather than acrylic.  The NATO strap has been reworked, adding leather around the holes and metal on the end to prevent fraying.  And the water resistance on this watch is 100 metres.  New price was $1,845 / £1,495 but this is the last of the production and hence we managed to get this at a great price.  You can read an independent review on this model here.

This watch will be supplied with the original presentation boxes, blank papers, hang tags, date adjuster tool and our Certificate of Authenticity.
