Khaki Tachymiler by HAMILTON
[ via Watch Luxus ]
The new Khaki Tachymiler by Hamilton was designed for pilots who use fly manually. Since these skilled pilots frequently need to stop time, for instance to start a countdown to a landing slot in order to optimize the route of their holding time, an accurate chronograph is a must on board. Similarly, the Khaki Tachymiler has the facility to record intermediate time, which is vital to sport and racing pilots. This precision functionality is also valuable after landing to measure the time intervals deemed important by the wearer during daily routines on the ground.
The sporty chronograph has color-coded pushers on its left-hand side in red and black, plus a silver crown, to enable activation even when travelling at speed. An extra touch of dynamism comes from cut out style shaping with a tapered scale on one of the counters, plus the calculation data marked on the black bezel. An easy-to-read date display completes the ‘control panel’ of this racy timekeeper that subtly celebrates its long American aviation heritage by integrating miles as the unit of measurement for distance.
A strong and resilient 44 mm stainless steel case safely encloses a dial with cockpit-style counters. The inherent aviation theme is carried right through to the rubber strap’s black, grooved surface, which is reminiscent of an aircraft’s tires equipped to hit the ground at speed. Framing the watch’s dial is a ring punctuated with tiny holes to reveal the red-tipped seconds hand as it completes its ‘loop’.
The Hamilton Khaki Tachymiler is water resistant to a depth of 100 meters and is protected by a sapphire crystal. The case is stainless steel and is 44 mm in diameter. The dial comes in black or white with red accents. This watch comes with a black rubber strap or a metal bracelet. Hamilton has been making some nice agressive looking watches lately, and this watch definitely follows their new design theme.
