Icon5 Hamilton Watch Co?

Anyone wear Hamiltons here? Just ordered my first Hamilton and am excited to receive it in the few days.

Wearing my khaki field mechanical white dial right now. One of my favourite pieces. Got it on a crown and buckle coyote nato :)

Love white dials. How does it look with the coyote C&B strap?

Recently got one, Hamilton Pilot Pioneer Mechanical, very neat. 80hr PR, manual wind and it was 50% off the MSRP with 1.5YRS warranty left, unworn basically. Great deal for a great watch. :)

That’s my favourite Hamilton but never got around to getting one

Oh very nice. Never seen that model before. Like the leather strap along with the dial.

Love my Khaki Field Mechanical. It fits like a glove on a Shell Cordovan strap from Fluco. It goes on my wrist Saturday morning and stays there all weekend

Thank you, that is the standard Nato that comes with the watch. It's a bit firm and does not feel like your typical high grade leather but works just fine and will get a nice patina soon.

It is really petite, mind you. 36mm is the width from 9-3 and only 33 mm from 12 - 6, 41mm lug to lug.

I have no problems with that but some might, this is my sea, land & air collection in the manual wind section. :)

Girlfriend bought me this one in Hong Kong in 1991. Quartz movement, only 33mm case size, but I wore the heck out of it for a few years. Some humidity damage, crown seems disconnected from the hands and crystal is cracked, but the seven-jewel movement looks ok. Probably not worth fixing up though. Inside it says case made in Hong Kong.

Some great looking Hamiltons here! Love the white dial on Coyote and the black dial on Fluco. Didn't realize anyone on these forums wore Hamilton.

I am a big Hamilton fan. I like some of the retro models and larger case sizes.

My wife bought me a Ventura over 25 years ago. It re-sparked my interest in watches. Also owned this Hamilton chronograph.
