Hamilton has a long history and has been making watches for over 130 years. Founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1892, the company still holds to its core values of quality and accuracy from its early days. From designing watches for the railroad, military, pilots, and filmmakers, the company knows how to design good watches. If you’re wanting to invest in a Hamilton watch, here are five of the best that you should consider.
1. Hamilton Khaki Field 38 mm
Why this watch?
This is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a nice classic watch for everyday wear. Its basic black dial has military features, a second hand, and a date box. With a stainless steel case and strap, it has a uniform look that is perfect for any style and bound to be reliable.
The features included:
This watch has 80 hours of typical power reserve in the H-10 automatic caliber. It is also water resistant up to 100 metres and has a diameter of 38 mm, which in my opinion is a fantastic size – giving you flexibility whatever your wrist size.
2. Hamilton Ventura 50.3 mm
Why this watch?
This watch is truly striking and won’t be like anything you have in your collection. This mid-century modern design is inspired by the original Ventura that was released in 1957. The original made history for its unique shape and for being the first electrical, battery powered watch. This Ventura still has the same shape as the original, along with diamond markers, a stainless steel case, and a leather strap, making it truly a daring and special watch.
The features included:
While this watch doesn’t have many unique features, its design strongly makes up for it. The features include a quartz movement and a diameter of 50 mm. It is also water resistant up to 50 metres.
3. Hamilton American Classic PSR Digital 40.8 mm
Why this watch?
How about a classic watch with a digital display? This watch still has a nice stainless steel strap paired with a stainless steel case. The digital display with green numerals is perfect for quick glances throughout the day. When the sun sets, simply push a button for the numerals to light up. This watch is a great modern take on a classic watch design.
The features included:
For features, this watch has a quartz movement and a hybrid LCD and OLED digital display. It has a diameter of 40.8 mm and is water resistant up to 100 metres.
4. Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer 36 mm
Why this watch?
Classic meets modern with this watch. Inspired by the 1970s Royal Air Force, this is a great choice to add to your collection. With a blue dial, stainless steel case, and matching blue fabric strap, it has a nice pop of colour without being too much.
The features included:

Hamilton American Classic 40 mm
Why this watch?
This vintage inspired classic is bound to become one of your favourite watches. It has a stainless steel case and strap for a polished look. The white dial features two chronographs, baton watch markers, and hour, minute, and second hands.
The features included:
