In line with its roots, Hamilton is launching four new references for its Khaki Aviation X-Wind line.
The aviation link is clearly evident in the design of the new Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono, whose large 45 mm black PVD-coated stainless steel case underscores the technical nature of the watch.
Its dial features the world’s first drift angle calculator in a watch. When an aircraft is flying in a crosswind situation, a correction must be made in order to keep it from being blown away from its desired path. This correction is called the "Drift Angle" and can be calculated with the Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono operating on the two crowns at 2 and 4 o'clock which control the lower and upper bezel respectively.
Water-resistant to 10 bars (100 meters / 330 feet), the Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono is powered by a Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movement that has been modified into the Hamilton calibre H-21 – upping the power reserve to 60 hours.
Completed by a black leather strap with a stainless steel H-buckle with black PVD coating, the Hamilton Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono (ref. H77736733 ) has a suggested retail price of Swiss Francs 2,150.
The Khaki X-Wind line also include a Day Date version which maintains several design codes of the X-Wind Auto Chrono.
