Khaki Pilot Pioneer in all its glory
Sometimes watches have that X factor about them that you can't quite put your finger on, but the moment you put it on you can feel it. It's that character of a timepiece that draws you towards it. The Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer is one watch I can say has that X factor in droves. Despite not having the specs to compete with other watches in my collection it's one I can't stop wearing and brings joy everytime I see the light bend and distort on the sandpaper like dial.
I feel like many people have overlooked this gem because it lacks a sapphire crystal and it's twice the price of a khaki mechanical, but I can assure you once you see it in person, you'll understand it better.
Cheers!

Unfortunately it's just too small for my ape arms. Aesthetically, it's lovely.
This is such a billet chunk of case that I am in awe of people thinking it is small. It is the only Hamilton that I find interesting. I'm glad they introduced other color variants too.

Ive been cursed with 6.5 inch wrists so this wears well lol

Its definitely a small watch but the tonneau shape helps give it more presence than you'd expect from a 36mm

I'm jealous!
Lovely😍
As an owner of this watch I totally agree. It’s one of the watches in my collection that gets the most wrist time, especially in the fall and winter as I tend towards divers in warmer weather. It is just too comfortable and the dial pops like non other. I love the strap you are wearing it on 😍
I love this watch. I had one briefly but returned it due to a QC issue. It’s been on my mind periodically ever since and I would absolutely buy one again, but the price is just too high, even compared to Hamilton’s own offerings. It’s $600-700 on the grey market, which is much more reasonable, but other Khaki’s are like $300-400. It just doesn’t make sense.

I picked mine up for 400$ below retail, I do think 1200 is a steep ask but it's a joy to own.
Dang it.... Might have to add on to the collection :/. We'll see haha
