Hamilton American Classic Pan-Europ day-date. The design originated in a chronograph in the early 1970's and revived as a 3 hand model several years ago. It came stock with a black leather rally strap but I thought the burgundy traditional leather strap that complements the red second hand is a better choice. Very readable and extremely accurate, on average it gains less than 1s a day.

Second hand color pop, for the win!!! 👏🏻
It isn't clear to me whether the red/white/blue colorway that originated on the chronograph model some 50+ years ago was meant to reflect that colors of the American or the French flag. The fact that this is part of the "American Classic" collection might argue for the former reference. But the model's "Pan-Europ" name (and its eccentric spelling) might suggest otherwise. In any event I find the look especially appealing and the red second hand is a cherry on top.
Big fan of these, my favourite hammy I think
