New Hamilton Frogmans!
The Frogmans of Hamilton have always caught my eye. They just announced a new version today: what are your thoughts?
Personally I think Hamilton played it a bit too safe... but weirdly went with a 46mm sizing. I do prefer the previous (current?) gen with the canteen crown and bigger indices.

Not to my taste! I have the khaki field mechanical and have my eye on the Khaki King but not so keen on this model? A great make though!

Yeah, it looks a bit iffy to me too! I guess I wish they went all the way crazy as they already have the "normal" looking Khaki Scuba for diver watches.
Can anyone explain the crown guard on the new Frogmen?

I don’t get it. That’s just monstrously big.

It looks okay in promo-pictures (on a wet suit) but I assume it'll be too large for everyday use :/ Hopefully they'll release a 42mm or smaller version in the future (or keep producing the previous gen ones).

They have released a 41mm one (and apparently it's lug to lug is 44mm!) This watch is now back on the cards for me

I still prefer the more whimsical design of the previous iteration but 41mm is enticing indeed 👀
