What makes this new Khaki X-Wind Auto Chronograph truly unique is hidden inside, since it is one of the world’s first watches to house a drift angle calculator. This instrument enables pilots to accurately calculate and record the crosswinds they will encounter during their flight.
Powered by an automatic Valjoux movement modified to increase the power reserve to 60 hours, this new chronograph propels Hamilton’s longstanding heritage in the field of aviation to ever greater heights, as a worthy descendant of the watches supplied to the US Armed Forces from 1914 onwards.
The watch features hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph, day, date, drift angle calculator functions and the case is made of stainless steel with black PVD coating. The stainless steel watch case measures a diameter of 45 mm and is PVD coated. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal covers the watch and it is water resistant to 100 meters. The watch has a multi-level black dial and the hands are enhanced with Super-LumiNova®.
Hamilton was founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. Hamilton watches combine the American spirit with the unrivaled precision of the latest Swiss movements and technologies. Known for its innovative design, Hamilton has a strong foothold in Hollywood, with products appearing in more than 450 films. The brand also boasts a strong aviation heritage. Hamilton is a member of the Swatch group, the largest watch manufacturer and distributor in the world.
