Hamilton Khaki Aviation

Aviation

Hamilton is an American watch manufacturer and its watch models therefore always have English names. The word aviation means aviation and is a reminder that a Hamilton Khaki Aviation is a robust watch specially developed for pilots. Most models in this elegant collection have special functions tailored specifically to aviation, such as a function for calculating crosswinds or the option of displaying two different time zones. This means you can always keep an eye on the time at both your departure and destination airports - or check at any time what time it is at home if you want to call your family from a faraway country.

Not in Khaki

The word khaki in the name of the Hamilton Khaki Aviation collection may surprise some German viewers after seeing the pictures of the watches, because the watches are by no means all designed in khaki. However, this can also be explained by their origin in English-speaking countries. Khaki is a good camouflage color and is therefore often used for uniforms of armies all over the world. In English, it has become common to refer to the uniforms themselves as khakis. The word khaki in Hamilton Khaki Aviation therefore stands for the military tradition of the watches and is intended to remind people of their particularly great robustness.
