Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Wind. Do you like black PVD watches?

I have to confess... I wasn't aware of this watch's existence until a few days ago. A friend brought it to me to get a new strap, and I was amazed by it! I have a soft spot for black PVD watches (even though I've never owned one), mainly because you can achieve a great contrasty look with a brightly colored strap. I really don't understand why the manufacturers keep putting them on black straps; it takes away from the fun. Anyhow, he chose our Two-Stitch Diablo Orange because it matches the orange accents on the dial, and it's matched perfectly!

Do you like black PVD watches? Do you share the same views as me, or do you prefer the all-black stealth look?

I have a black PVD Longines Legend Diver that arrived fitted with a black rubber strap and clasp. I like colours as much as the next guy but with black PVD and a few ceramic prefer to keep the look dark!

Yes, I do. My Vaer C5 Tactical solar. I switch it up on a green silicone strap sometimes which highlights the greenish numbers. The lume is awesome.

No, remember flakey cases from the 80's (?) & that's too much "patina" for me to handle.

Don't doubt the tech has moved on, but I always think of those when I see one.

There is "black with some color" or

"just black and white (or gray),

or "full black"

Many shades of black😉

I don't own any black PVD watches (yet), but I love #hamilton and watches with orange accents. I would pull the trigger on the X-Wind if it was closer to 40mm...

Great looking combo

I need to get a strap with orange accents or stitching for this
