The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

So for some time now I wanted to acquire a "real G Shock" that is a robust and durable watch with some interesting functions for sports. I am seduced. Both light and comfortable, this pretty beast has everything to please after two months of use it is perfect.

GBD H2000 1AER 

With an oversized 46mm case, Hamilton clearly pays homage to the B-HUR type pilot's watches of the Second World War, all powered by a h30 movement based on a 2836-2 with an 80-hour power reserve. This watch is one of my main ones that I wear very often. The brown leather strap is very comfortable to wear. In short, despite its imposing size, I never tire of wearing it.

<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Hamilton</strong> brand is an icon in the world of watchmaking which brilliantly combines American know-how and the finesse of Swiss watchmaking tradition. Founded in <strong>1892</strong> by Webster Clay Ball in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the brand Hamilton quickly acquired a reputation for quality, precision and reliability, notably thanks to its pocket watches used by railway workers to avoid accidents on American railways.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Hamilton brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">However, it was truly from the 1950s that the brand began to make its mark on the history of modern watchmaking. In 1957, Hamilton revolutionized the world of watchmaking by introducing the world's first electric watch, the Hamilton Electric 500. This watch, although imperfect, paved the way for a new era of electric and quartz watches, in which will engulf<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/lip"> LIP</a> with the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/lip/electronic"> LIP Electronic</a>,<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/bulova"> Bulova</a> with the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/bulova/accutron"> Bulova Accutron</a> and of course<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/seiko"> Seiko</a> with the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/seiko/quartz"> Seiko Quartz</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 1960s marked another pivotal moment for Hamilton. The brand entered the world of cinema by equipping Elvis Presley with a Hamilton Ventura in the film &ldquo;Loving You&rdquo; in particular. Hamilton thus extended its influence to the entertainment industry, becoming the watch of choice for many movie characters.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In 1974, Hamilton was in serious financial difficulties and was bought by the Swiss holding company SSIH, the ancestor with ASUAG of the current Swatch Group. This acquisition marks the beginning of a new era for Hamilton, which now combines bold American design with Swiss watchmaking excellence.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These key dates in Hamilton's history reveal a resolutely avant-garde brand, always seeking innovation and precision. Hamilton has been able to adapt to technological and cultural developments, while preserving its unique identity.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the iconic models of the Hamilton brand?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Hamilton's rich heritage is reflected in the diversity of its collections, which meet the needs of watch enthusiasts from all walks of life. Among the brand's flagship models, we find:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/ventura">Hamilton Ventura</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Hamilton Ventura is probably the brand's most iconic model. With its bold shield-shaped case designed by American designer Richard Arbib (also behind the Hamilton Pacer and Hamilton Meteor models in particular), its water resistance up to 50 meters, its comfortable leather strap, its movement precise quartz, its elegant silver dial and its date complication, <strong>the Ventura is a symbol of innovation and aesthetics</strong>. It was this watch that Elvis Presley wore for the first time in 1961 in the film &ldquo;Blue Hawaii&rdquo;, which contributed to his legendary aura.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman is a robust and reliable dive watch</strong>. Featuring a 42mm titanium case, impressive water resistance up to 100 ATM, durable rubber strap, H-10 automatic movement with 80 hour power reserve, a black dial with luminous indexes and a date complication, this watch is designed to withstand the most extreme conditions. It takes its name from the 1951 film "The Frogmen", in which US Navy divers were equipped with Hamilton watches. An additional illustration of the close ties maintained by Hamilton with the film industry and in particular the Hollywood studios.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic is a classic and refined watch</strong>. It features a 40mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 5 ATM, stylish leather strap, Swiss automatic movement, silver dial with applied indexes and date complication. Its particularity lies in its transparent background which allows you to admire the movement.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/khaki_field">Hamilton Khaki Field</a></h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton American Classic</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Finally, the American Classic is a collection that pays homage to Hamilton's American history. The Intra-Matic Auto model, for example, offers a 40 mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 5 ATM, a brown leather strap, an H-10 automatic movement, a silver dial in a style Vintage with stick indexes and a date complication.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These watches embody the spirit of Hamilton: a combination of functionality, design, history and innovation in a price range between &euro; 700 and &euro; 2,500 for a mechanical model.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Hamilton watch cost?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Hamilton offers several dozen new references whose prices vary between $375 for a Hamilton Khaki-Field Quartz and $12,000 for a Hamliton Ventura Quartz in 18k gold. <strong>Most Hamilton are sold between $500 and $1,000</strong>. Prices can also fluctuate depending on the distributor, and promotions sometimes allow you to benefit from a more competitive price.
