Hamilton Khaki Navy Sub - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

I bought this Hamilton a short while ago and I can't explain it, but I can't live without it! It's really beautiful, the finishes are exemplary, the design is quite atypical with its round case resting on a barrel-shaped caseband that reveals openwork corners at 1:30, 4:30, 7:30 and 10:30. This design is indeed inspired by a model from the 1920s, the Piping Rock. And I still find it so fashionable today! It gives it a real personality and is a change from the endless diving models that all look the same, it must be said. I also love the comfort of the integrated bracelet whose curve perfectly matches the curve of the wrist and this pin buckle with the H logo that looks great. I really repeat it, this watch is incredibly comfortable The onboard movement is an ETA 2824 which guarantees the watch reliability and precision. The bezel is also technical and superb with a black rubber overmolding on a steel base, revealing the numbers and indexes in relief, it is very technical and the result is magnificent. And for those who wonder why the number 0 instead of 12, it is a reference to the Hamilton BeLOWZERO model, the presence of this 0 being there to remind that the Khaki Navy Sub is a waterproof watch and therefore designed to go below zero level - that is to say underwater. Quite a program :) You will have understood this Hamilton Khaki Navy Sub and far from being a simple and soulless watch, drawing its design from the past while using very contemporary techniques, those who made one of my favorite models and now almost my daily, I wear it very regularly.

Many strong points in this watch. Its integrated bracelet, its openwork case around the bezel, its original bezel, its dial cleverly dotted with the H of the brand, its glass slightly higher than the bezel offering hypnotizing reflections on its edges, its 300m water resistance, and then its legendary 2824-2 caliber. I also find the diameter 42 neither too small nor too big, and it is also of a perfectly acceptable thickness. This watch is unfortunately no longer in the catalog, and in my opinion it is too little known. It could certainly delight many handfuls like mine.
