About
Today's vintage Hamilton is a very stylish early 70s chronograph. With a thick, rounded cushion case and flat rotating bezel, the watch has a great wrist presence. The combination of matte grey dial and oversized white registers, earning it the nickname "Big Eye" among collectors, is brilliant. A dash of colour completes the exciting look, with white lume-filled hands and a red outer minute track, register numbers, and chrono seconds hand.
Overall a fantastic looking piece, and a great addition to any collection looking for a fun, sturdy vintage chronograph. We have paired the watch with a Molequin grained calf strap in a whiskey tan colour.
