The 1971 Hamilton issued pilot's watch GG-W-113. I got it as a birth year watch. On the original strap which has the tropic fade. Auction watch found in the bottom of a footlocker.
I also lean towards field watches, I find them more versatile. Great selection!
Wow! Amazing set. What’s your take on the Vertex?
PS: Yes, add the Alpinist!

The Vertex is superb. All the looks of a dirty dozen watch with lume that glows for days and water resistant to go anywhere. I've got a small (6.25in) wrist and it is a solid fit. A little pricey but comes with three straps and durable investment. I don't think it is particularly well regulated though so it requires a good setting at the start of the day. If you wanted a purist field watch, go for it. My Alpinist moves between dress and field depending on the strap compared to the Vertex which looks like a tank no matter what.

Thanks. I’m on the fence because of cost but am thinking what’s not to like about the Vertex.

Three great joys in life: editing other people's writing, gambling with other people's money, and recommending ill-advised career moves or purchases. It's calling my friend.

Yes and YES
The alpinist is a good bet I’d like to recommend another couple of field watches for consideration: the Ollech & Wajs OW P-101
A fantastic field watch from a Swiss brand that specialises in millitary style watches.
Echo Neutra Averau 39 Moonphase
A beautiful field watch with a moonphase complication. It’s not a gmt but it looks great and the pointless but nice looking complication may not be a gmt but it is fun.
Both retail for around the same price as the alpinist.

Glad I could help 😀.
You should add a couple different Bertucci field watches in that nice collection of yours.
Hamilton Khaki King is, well, King.
Or, for something entirely different...
Also available in black, blue, white, and green (I think).
#vertex ❤ #hamilton ❤ #seiko alpinist ❤
Might as well since you have the major league collection.
