The "W-10" issued to the British Royal Air Force from 1973 to 76 has been updated for the modern era. It combines faithfully reproduced design with high functionality thanks to the latest performance. The original "W-10" was marked with an arrow mark indicating that it was British government property, an iconic symbol widely known to military enthusiasts. It has been attached to military equipment since the late 17th century, and can also be seen on cameras such as Leica and Contax.

The movement is equipped with the latest caliber H-50.

 The Khaki Field collection, synonymous with Hamilton, has its roots in Hamilton's military watches, primarily produced during World War I and World War II. Like the Caliber H-10, the automatic movement first featured in the Khaki Field Auto, the latest Caliber H-50 featured in the new Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mecha also boasts a power reserve of approximately 80 hours.

It features an iconic military design and, of course, the old logo.

A design that combines functionality and military design with minimalist design

 The black dial, reminiscent of an analog camera or binoculars, features old radium-colored hour markers. The military-finish gray textile and leather NATO straps are both faithfully reproduced down to the finest detail. The vintage-like design is appealing to many aviation enthusiasts as well as military enthusiasts. The Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical, with its true military roots, beautifully revives Hamilton's heritage model for the modern era.
 Many men are probably aware of how excellent the functional beauty of military design is, but this model also has something that military-loving women cannot miss.

The appeal of Hamilton watches is their toughness and ability to be used in everyday life. It's also fascinating how even small scratches change the design, adding a touch of color.

Faithfully reproduced small size

 While the average men's watch case diameter is currently 40-42mm, this watch measures 36mm long and 33mm wide. This smaller size, which faithfully reproduces the vintage style, makes it easy for women to wear as well.
 For men, it looks great paired with a classic flight jacket like the M-65, while for women, it can be paired with a casual knit jacket or a thick cable knit Cowichan sweater, or used as the focal point of a simple shirt and denim look for a unique look. The design is small yet eye-catching, allowing you to subtly assert your individuality while also being highly functional.
 In fact, it is quite difficult for women to find fashionable military items, but the fact that a single watch can convey such a military feel is a delight for military fans, both men and women.
 In addition to the manual-wound model, a sporty chrono quartz model has also been added to the lineup, and a bracelet type has also been added to this model.
