The newest addition to the Hamilton`s collection is the Khaki X-Mach which belongs to the collection of aviation watches. The timepiece supplies a few functions to be used only by pilots. It is distinguished by fastidious attention to expand and fearless looks stimulated by the cockpit. Furthermore, the Hamilton Khaki X-Mach watch can measure the Mach number of an aircraft, showing the speed an aircraft is moving through the air separated by the speed of sound under the same atmospheric conditions.

         The Khaki X-Mach watch was created in a few variations, all of them with a embellish black dial. The dial was completed by easy- to- read silvery indices and showing counter frames. It is defended by a sapphire crystal. The stainless steel case of the watch measures 44 mm in diameter and is or black or silver- colored. The bezel as you can see is completed with fine white or black numeral markings. Where the clock shows 3 o` clock, you are able to see the date displayed surrounded by a Clous- de – Paris guilloche – patterned area which looks like the wedge found underneath a plane`s wheels when it is situated stationary on the tarmac.

         What makes the Khaki X- Mach watch unique is the portable Machmeter. If the pilot wants to make the watch indicate the Mach number in ISA conditions on the bezel, he has to turn right crown and therefore set the pressure altitude and calibrated air speed measured by the instrument discovered in the cockpit.

         Moreover if you are keen on sporty design this watch will be the best timekeeping companion ever. The timepiece proves aviation- themed elements, adding wing- like metal and carbon – fiber surrounds for the protection of the crowns. The strap features flying- jacket style stitching and studs. The crown and the case- back have a red compass- style arrowhead as a symbol of speed but also at these you can add the tiny red accents on the watch case and dial which have been suggested by high- precision cockpit instruments.

         Last but not least another very important thing is that the timepiece is 100- meter water- resistant and the price is not as big as you think. If you want to buy it, you need only 1654 US dollars.
