Khaki Aviation X-Wind – H77796535
Hamilton released this limited-edition timepiece in June 2018. A very popular watch in their portfolio, the Khaki Aviation X-Wind. This limited-edition watch was released to celebrate the 100thanniversary of Hamilton’s aviation watches. Most collectors will recognize the regular version of the Hamilton X-wind. It is a magnificent piece of aviation mechanization. The original Hamilton X-wind allows pilots to manually calculate cross-wind and drift angles. Of course, the new limited edition is no different but it also comes with a couple of subtle differences.
The first noticeable difference is the addition of the vintage lume on both hands and indices. Not everyone may be thrilled with this ever-lasting vintage fad but in this piece, it does not look out of place. The second difference is it has new shapes for the screw-down crowns. It is by no means that much of a difference but rather a very subtle one at that and at first glance it most likely will not be noticeable at all. The difference in the crowns is that they have a more cone appearance, which gives the timepiece a more refined and mature appearance.
Finally, last but not least, the new limited-edition Hamilton X-wind is endowed with the same automatic chronograph H-21 movement that was used in the original. However, there are some modifications with it also. This is the first Hamilton chronograph timepiece that makes use of a silicone hairspring, and it is also COSC certified as a chronometer.
The new limited-edition Hamilton X-wind H77796535 is truly a nice touch to their already considerable portfolio for aviation timepieces. The new subtle color scheme is attractive and timeless. It has a well-balanced distinction between vintage and modern timepieces. Additionally, the new crowns and COSC certified movements make this limited edition watch a true winner. This truly is a limited-edition timepiece that is a must-have and at only 1918 pieces they will be gone quickly.
