Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic 38 (H70455533)

WOW! These watches are beautiful. My first VW piece. I ordered the med/large in red and white, and it does run larger and slides up and down my arm, but this is a bracelet watch and not a strap watch. It would be pretty in a strap watch as well.

Review by Jodie Alley, From Mexico Estado De Mexico

So you've read the advice from some of the world's top retailers and, whether you're buying a watch as a gift or as a treat for yourself, you have decided that you are looking for something blue. And that you don't want to spend any more than 3,000 Swiss francs or the equivalent thereof. Here are some options.

Emile Chouriet Challenger Deep
Named after the deepest point on the surface of the Earth, Emile Chouriet's first diver's watch offers the usual water resistance to 300 metres, unidirectional rotating bezel and luminous indications on the dial. But it also offers a ceramic coating on the bezel, a feature usually only found on much more expensive diver's watches. Powered by a self-winding mechanical movement and available on a steel bracelet or rubber strap (as well as with black or silvered dials), the Challenger Deep is available for an unbeatable 1,500 Swiss francs with tax included.

Frederique Constant Slimline Manufacture
At just a whisker over 3,000 Swiss francs (3,190 for the rose gold plated model) or just under (2,830) for the stainless-steel version, Frederique Constant's Slimline Manufacture series has to be one of the most competitively priced classic watches on the market, particularly when you consider that it is fitted with the brand's own FC-710 in-house movement, which offers a 42-hour power reserve. Our blue choice has a subsidiary date indication by hand at 6 o'clock, a domed navy blue dial with hand- applied hour markers and a matching blue alligator leather strap.

Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Aluminium
A revival model from the 1970s but with a distinctly contemporary theme and a trendy NATO strap, the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer is excellent value at only 1,050 Swiss francs. For this you get the brand's H-10 self-winding mechanical movement, which has an impressive 80-hour power reserve and a lightweight aluminium case with a special coating that not only gives it its distinctive blue colour but also increases the hardness and durability of the aluminium. It's impossible to get bluer, with the case, bezel ring, dial, strap, buckle and crown all matching in colour.

Vulcain 50s Presidents' Classic
It may not have the alarm function unique to Vulcain's Cricket calibre but it does instead have the Vulcain calibre V-56 self-winding movement, which offers a power reserve of 42 hours. In its Classic version the Vulcain 50s President's model comes with an understated dial with a sunray finish, available in blue, silver or black with a matching alligator leather strap. Price: 2,980 Swiss francs.

The original watch featured a protective cover and was the exclusive property of sportsmen destined for the great, dusty and damp outdoors. Today's wearers safeguard their own time with an intricately decorated folding flap ensuring the dial is for their eyes only.
 

Hamilton Flintridge Gent

At first glance the closed Flintridge Gent reminds of an intricate 1930s radio microphone. The cover hosts a Clous de Paris pattern, interrupted only by two peepholes for the day and date, plus an embossed logo. Raising the "lid" reveals a silver-colored dial, also with a stamped Clous de Paris centerpiece, and dauphine-shaped, polished hands.  

The H-40 movement, with 80 hours of power reserve, is visible through the case back. Giving today's Flintridge an unmistakably modern air is the layered architecture of the case with the distinctive finishes of its various surfaces. Its soave signature is a grey leather strap.

Only 999 watches will be available.

Hamilton Flintridge Lady

The secret of the 2014 Flintridge Lady is pure feminine charm. A polished cover appears to emit sunrays from a round opening just above the 6 o'clock position. Shining through this opening is a cluster of seven diamonds, a tempting invitation to raise the protective covering.

The silver-colored dial, with finely shaped hands and applied indexes, along with the case's smooth surfaces, bring more elegant touches combined with an astute eye for detail.

The watch is worn on a burgundy strap. Only 999 ladies will own one of these limited edition watches.
 

Two new RailRoad timepieces connect Hamilton's deep-rooted tradition of transportation timekeeping with technology and design that love to access undiscovered territories. Alluding to the brand's title as "The Watch of Railroad Accuracy", gained in nineteenth century America, they integrate styling elements from pocket watches of that era. The RailRoad Auto Chrono has a coiled length of track accommodating a tachymeter, while the RailRoad Small Second has a new propriety movement affording an eye-catching dial layout. In this article, the RailRoad Auto Chrono watch is in highlight.

The case of the RailRoad Auto Chrono, with its rounded edges, vertical brushing and tapered pusher protectors, transports the imagination directly to the times of pocket watches. No longer confined to pockets, today's timepiece is secured by a stylish stainless steel bracelet or a black leather strap with fine stitching.

The shaping of the Hamilton Bagley gains its uniqueness through varying heights between the horizontal and vertical case edges and an intriguing combination of straight and curved lines. The sides of the case extend to become elegant lugs. A love of detail is evident in the watch's domed, multi-level dial with a stamped central panel in a quilted effect. This rises like a protective archway above the small, circular second counter at 6 o'clock. Sword-shaped pink gold plated hands and matching applied indexes visually seduce with their feminine appeal.

Accommodating every successful woman's desire to be different, the Hamilton Bagley comes in two sizes and with a choice of attachment variations. Adding a note of nobility is a genuine ostrich leather strap in beige with a pin buckle. Alternatively, a three-row stainless steel bracelet with an easy click fasten is confidently contemporary. The special fastening mechanism makes it simple to alternate between the two straps should the wearer wish to have both to meet the specific demands of all occasions and moods.

Hamilton has been fuelling its expertise in creating aviators' timepieces since 1919. This mix of a pioneering heritage and technological innovation is again prominent on the brand's radar screen in 2013, in the form of the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Auto Chrono.
Inspired by Hamilton timepieces created in the 1970s for the British Royal Air Force, the design team chose clean styling to showcase the new watch's appealing materials and easy-to-use timekeeping competence. The numbers on the dial are bold to facilitate fast easy reading, and Super-LumiNova® hour indices help in the dark. They are white on the rugged black dial and black against the alternative ivory-colored background. Sandblasted elements on the case remain true to the pioneering aviation roots of the design, protecting the wearer against distracting reflected sunlight, inside and outside the cockpit environment.

The Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Auto Chrono is powered by the newly developed, propriety H-31 movement. Stemming from the Valjoux 7753, it offers 60 hours power reserve and can be seen through the open case-back. An asymmetrical case integrates a protected crown and pushers. And just like the glass of its highly respected 1970s ancestors, the sapphire crystal is bly domed.
A wide choice of attachments is available, embracing stainless steel, black leather and a selection of textile straps, including a very appropriate military kaki option.
 

The new Hamilton Jazzmaster Auto Chrono uses the latest innovations in watchmaking to improvise on the proven melody represented by its original version. Driven by the recently developed H-21 movement, this high-performance automatic chronograph can rely on 60 hours of power reserve. Modernity is king in the confidently contemporary shaping of the case and the dial design.

In its entirety, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Auto Chrono is a picture of sophistication that masters usability and reliability.

Detail shapes design

Special shaping of the antireflective sapphire crystal enables maximum dial visibility, subtly guiding the eye to the three counters. These are grouped on the left to allow the date display at 4 o'clock optimal exposure. Tapered pushers elegantly mirror the lugs' form and the requited love of detail also finds expression in 'Clous de Paris' dial decoration.

Styling choices enable the Hamilton Jazzmaster Auto Chrono to harmonize with the rhythms of diverse lifestyles. A new five-row stainless steel bracelet for instance merges seamlessly into the contemporary case. While rose gold-colored indexes bring warm tones to a version with a silver dial and crocodile-pattern brown leather strap. The five-b family is equipped to satisfy different wearer types, united by their zero-tolerance attitude with regard to timekeeping accuracy and material quality.

Hamilton was founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. Hamilton watches combine the American spirit with the unrivalled precision of the latest Swiss movements and technologies. Known for its innovative design, Hamilton has a b foothold in Hollywood, with products appearing in 400 films. The brand also boasts a b aviation heritage. Hamilton is a member of the Swatch group, the largest watch manufacturer and distributor in the world with 160 production sites in Switzerland. 

Lewis Hamilton began karting at the age of 8 and was very soon spotted by Ron Dennis who saw in him a rising Formula 1 star. In 2002, he moved up to racing cars, winning the English Formula Renault championship the following year. 
In 2004, he moved on to the F3 Euroseries, where he notched up 15 victories, 10 of the fastest times and 13 pole positions and where, a year later, he won the title. His rise continued in 2006 as he won the GP2 championship with the ART Grand Prix team. 

This young prodigy's career, made up of eagerly accepted challenges, will flourish this year in Formula 1 as he joins the two-time world champion, Fernando Alonso, as part of the McLaren Mercedes Vodafone team. 
TAG Heuer is proud to count Lewis Hamilton among its ranks - never a man to refuse a challenge - and wishes him great success in the formidable world of Formula 1.

Lewis won an epic Spa race in which the predicted rain wreaked havoc with many of the World Championship contenders.
Hamilton led from the start as polesitter Mark Webber failed to get away from pole position with any speed. However it was a combination of rain and team-mate Sebastian Vettel who threw the race into chaos.

Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso were both the innocent victims of other people's accidents in the damp conditions, while Vettel was involved in three separate stewards investigations, including eliminating Button.

Webber recovered from dropping to P7 at La Source hairpin on Lap 1 to take second position ahead of Robert Kubica, Felipe Massa and Adrian Sutil. Alonso lost control of his Ferrari and crashed on Lap 38, while Vettel finished the race a lap down and out of the points.

Congratulations to the McLaren team!

If you are going to spend six adventurous months on 'paradise island' with diving and swimming as your daily activities, and if your tools need to be highly functional, ultra-resistant and extremely durable, what would you bring? The Alpina Extreme Diver 1000 Meters watch, tailor-made for this modern-day Robinson Crusoe, sounds like the perfect choice….
Ben Southall, a 34 year old Brit is a real-life Robinson Crusoe, recently appointed Island Caretaker of Australia's Hamilton Island for a six-month period -also known as 'The Best Job in the World'. The organization 'Tourism Queensland' launched the idea to promote the Great Barrier Reef by offering a prize that money cannot buy -the chance to 'work' on the island for six months, starting July 1st, 2009. After reviewing 36,648(!) applicants from 201 countries, 610 hours of video and 450,000+ votes, Ben was selected. The 'discerning' job description requires him to 'explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, scuba-dive, make friends with the locals and generally enjoy the tropical Queensland climate and lifestyle'. Part of his responsibilities consists of being the International Ambassador for Queensland. In thoroughly modern fashion, Ben is expected to report back to Tourism Queensland -and the world- regularly via his weblog, a photo diary, video updates and interviews.

Ben is a hardworking and gregarious individual who enjoys setting goals and reaching targets that most people find impossible to comprehend, let alone achieve. He has spent the last ten years traveling extensively throughout Africa, working as an Events Manager and organizing an annual music festival for charity. In his spare time, Ben keeps fit through trekking, swimming, running, climbing and preparing for his next challenge, which is never far away. For more information, please check out his website http://afritrexben.blogspot.com.
 
Ben explains one such event, 'The Afritrex charity endurance challenge (in 2008) consisted of ten physical challenges which I set myself, to complete five marathons and climb five of Africa's highest mountains, spaced out over a period of a year across the African continent'.
Swiss Watch Manufacturer Alpina Geneve is delighted to become part of this exciting adventure by offering Ben a brand-new Alpina 'Extreme Diver 1000 Meters' watch. Supposedly, this is the perfect wrist instrument during the execution of his duties and timely investigation of the Great Barrier Reef islands.

La Revue FH - 30 April 2009 - No 8
In a time of economic challenge, TAG Heuer is extending its bold vision of the avant-garde with a brand new, emotionally charged ad campaign that challenges the very rules of endorsement marketing.
The famous challenge of TAG Heuer, «What are you made of?», is the common thread linking the past campaign to this daring new one. Now, however, the confrontational claim expresses the unique drive and passion of these super-achieving Knights of Time.
The visually stunning campaign coincides with the signing of new TAG Heuer ambassador Leonardo DiCaprio, who is partnering with the brand to support two of the world's most important environmental charities: the Natural Resources Defense Council and Green Cross International. The Hollywood superstar and committed environmental activist will appear in the new campaign endorsements of TAG Heuer's new ultra-masculine Aquaracer 500. Other visuals will feature world number one golfer Tiger Woods for Link, 2008 F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton for TAG Heuer's bestselling Carrera line and tennis superstar Maria Sharapova for women's expression of Aquaracer and Link.
The sophisticated visuals were shot by master photographer Tom Munro, whose glamorous photos regularly appear on the covers of Italian Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Produced by CLM BBDO, the campaign will be launched worldwide in May.
«TAG Heuer's 2009 ad campaign is an inspirational tale of personal achievement, » said Jean-Christophe Babin, TAG Heuer President and CEO. «It tells the story of extraordinary individuals who transcend obstacles to realize dreams and attain the unreachable - and then keep going, setting their sights even higher, on horizons not yet dreamed of. These incredible men and woman are champions who never stop thinking of themselves as challengers. This is why, in their stunning portraits by Tom Munro, they don't wear the watches on their wrists but brandish them in their fists - as public declaration of their determination. The timepieces aren't accessories, they are talismans - lucky charms accompanying heroes on a perennial quest to be better, ber, faster.»
