I've got the blue dial version of this Pilot Day Date, absolute stunner. The Arabic numeral indices also light up based on certain light angles. I've also got a slender wrist at 6.75 inches and it works well for reasons you described.
I have a Jazzmaster with ETA 2892, which is incredibly accurate, and yesterday I bought a Khaki Field Aviation automatic with H30 and an 80-hour power reserve with a blue dial. Hamilton watches offer a lot for their price, which justifies their purchase.
I nearly bought this watch a number of time, but in the end, I don't like this day complication and I don't like that it lacks a screw-down crown. I ended up buying the 38mm in rose gold because the day/date takes up much less space overall, has a brown sunburst dial, and it had a screw down crown with 200 meters water resistance instead of 100 like the 42mm version. The stainless 38mm is discontinued and very hard to find even used, so it's a good thing the 42mm is still a great looking watch.
Very very very nice watch. I have a rolex olyster and panerai but I want to wear this watch. It feels very high quality. This watch attracts more attention. People are constantly asking questions. It has a very clear and eye-catching display.😍 I love it.
Yeah, that's the biggest turn-off with Hamilton... Brought my Khaki Field back and got refunded as it turns out there are no AR coating on ANY of their Field series....
I've been in love with the Khaki Pilot brown/desert H64645531 for some time now. I like a more "tooltastic" look over dress, generally, and that one fits my profession better. Its vintage lume melts my heart, but my 6.25" made me question if it would work for me. I agree the 3 o'clock day/date on the 38mm is a deal breaker. And watching the video it appears now I have yet another grail to lust after. Thank you TSW!
My pleasure! Did you have a chance to see the new H64645531 in the metal? I did and I think the color of the lume is weird AKA a little too pink for me. But then again, this is just my taste, and it might suit you more than this version. In any case, there is no question that the day at 12 is a must have on this one :) Cheers!
You're definitely not the only one, I saw many people talking about that on WUS forums. I do prefer mine to move around, otherwise it feels like handcuffs to me. And after wearing a watch on a bracelet for an hour or so, my wrists tends to get a little bigger, so the extra room comes in handy. Tighter is good too, though!
Your wrists size changes during the day with ambient temperture and your own level of activity. I foten fel tjat a bracelet needs to be a little loose in the morning. Later in the day it’s going to be a tight fit at some point.
@Anonymous Person that is because it's a pilot's watch and they are supposed to be bigger. Even if you have a smaller wrist it is not weird when you wear a watch like this as it is big for a reason
Awesome watch. Interesting that some people keep recommending the Hamilton Khaki King over this because of the slightly smaller size but they don't understand how boring, uninspiring the Khaki King is compered to the Cooper.
Great review of an awesome watch. I love the complications on this Hamilton. It is definitely on my wish list ... I have a 7.5” wrist and it looked superb when I tried it on at my jewellers.
The best review of this timepiece. You answered the questions I sought from other videos, like the sunburst and the antireflective crystal. I decided to get it based on your video. Thanks!
If I'm not mistaken, the Khaki Field Day Date (ref H64455533) is a 40 mm piece. Add in a thicker bezel than this one, and it will for sure look good even on smaller wrists! But Maybe you're talking about the newer 42 mm version?
Great review Alessandro! My wrist is just 6 inches and all the points you mentioned when wearing the watch are true. However it indeed has a WTH factor that makes it outstand over any other pilot flieger watch. It´s toolish yet still very elegant at the same time, very Hamilton. Keep the good content coming congrats!!!
Thank you Cesar! And yes, it might not be a flieger in its purest essence, but boy do I like it. For me, it's the best looking pilot watch period. Not everybody will agree of course, but this is perfection for me when it comes to that rugged elegance, that simple complexity. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Alessandro! Was waiting for this one. There are surprisingly few reviews on this watch. I’m really tempted but I fear it might be too large on my 17cm wrist although it looks good on yours!
Elio, unless your wrist is perfectly round, it should fit you no problem! Mine is 15.3 cm (!!). If you can try it at a reseller, that would be the best thing to do, but the lug to lug distance is still short for a 42 mm watch. That contrasts with the Tudor Black Bay for example: 41 mm in width, 50 mm lug to lug! When I wear my smaller watches for several days in a row and put this Hamilton on, it feels huge. Then after a few hours, I'm like "hell yeah"! I think I wanted to sell this watch like 8 times, but I can't let it go... proof that it's here to stay!
I really like this watch. I have about a 7.75" wrist, and it would probably fit perfect. I wasn't sure about the polished arabics, but I like your take on them. I have a another watch with the Powermatic 80... it's great to have the long power reserve! Great review!
I don’t like how the day at the top changes the numbers on the dial but I really like how it balances the watch. The day date at the three makes the dial look less balanced.
I love your honest opinion and the way you go about your videos. I have a quick question on your opinion. I am looking at the silver dial version of this watch the the Tissot T-complication. Which watch do you think looks better?
The watch is a type B Fleiger nazi air force dial. I do love that style and have a few type B's however Hamilton made their version a bit too modern for me by putting it in a stylish case, crown guards and putting a day/date on it. I prefer the nazi version that is basic and big- wear a watch like that and you want to bomb London.
Like you, I think the day at 12 and date at 6 is great. Personally, I love exhibition casebacks. However, I prefer the field style watches with hours, rather than minutes, on the outside.
Thank you Manuel! No I didn't :) I'm following my own advice to not buy watches too quickly after an instant crush... and it came in handy for the SNE498: I think I prefer the all steel version after all (SNE 497). I'd love to get one very rugged diver form Seiko, just don't know exactly which one yet. The SNE 497 might do the trick though! I'll let you know of course. I ordered something totally different, and I'll publish the unboxing of that around Nov 20 (I won't get the watch before the 15th). Hint: it's a Casio from a line not everybody loves! Cheers
@@TimedSquare that's a good advice. I bought a PADI version SNE499 and very happy with it. The 497 is a very good option. Waiting for that unboxing!!😁🍿 Casio... Mmmm.... Good brand... Let's see which one you choose!!
Like this watch and agree with you on the execution of the date. I also love the fully written out day! It is a shame that the 38mm has it at 3:00, kills it for me as that size would be perfect. 42 is just too much for me, have to stay in the 37-39 range!
I’m kind of mixed on that hour hand... I don’t know that you need it pointing at the minutes... I like that it’s trying to be different with the skeletonization as I also dislike when on pilot watches the hour hands often cover up the entire hour Arabic. But it makes the hour arm also very wide when using the lume. The hour markers should be lined as well.
Hamilton forgot one thing: there's no "lume" on the seconds hand! This is important if you want to look at the time in the dark and be sure that the watch is working! You can see that the comparison watch in your video has this feature.
I just bought this watch at a Hamilton Official dealer in my country, but I have a question: Is it normal that the caseback has small scratches near one of the screws?
Thanks for a great review. After watching your video, I was convinced and went out to buy the one I had been eyeing for a while 😊. I agree wholeheartedly ... the day complication at 12 and date at 6 are my favourite. I just wish the lume was longer-lasting and that it had a screw-in crown. Nonetheless, it is a lovely piece and has become my daily watch. My wrist is 7.5 inches.
Hi Alesandro.. where do you buy your watches in EU? I’m a student and will move to Paris really soon. Also what to purchase a couple watches.. any help would be much appreciated
Thanks for the review! I REALLY want that watch! But unfortunately, it's out of my preferred price range. Oh well. Gotta save up! Also, I'll be getting the SNK789 as my first Seiko watch and will put it on a nice brown strap right away! I really want the SARB035 though. :-/
Alan Naranjo My current budget is $200 max. With all due respect, if you can find a legit one in good condition at that price, then please let me know!
Nice video😎👍. Try the Hamilton Khaki King, it's 40 mm but the lug width makes it slender wrist friendly and the day date complications at 12 o'clock is very handsome in my opinion.
I love the Khaki King but I feel the day window is a little crammed in that design - that's the reason why I didn't get it. On this Khaki Pilot, it's proud and has room to breathe. The King is a nice piece nonethless, always keeping it on my radar...
The Slender Wrist I actually saw it at a department store that had Tissot and Hamilton watches. I was over the moon about trying the Tissot Visodate that when I moved to the Hamiltons they all looked big. I know I tried one Hamilton but I don’t think it was the Interstellar. I’m pretty sure they had it, though. Next time I go to that store, I’ll definitely try it out.
@@eyeheartsushi2212 The Visodate is a great watch. If you found Hamilton watches too big, this one might be no exception... but worth a try. You never know!
I find all Hamilton watches tend to have long lugs that make them look too big on my 6.75" wrist, even their 38mm diameter watches. I wish their lugs would curve down a little more shortening the lug-lug distance.
Think I'm gonna buy a nice riveted strap for mine! Also, idk about you but the lume on mine absolutely sucks! I still love the watch but the lume needs improvement.
Classy watch...exquisite finish and one that dial and numerals...would have been even better if it was a 40mm watch...Strap excellent ..Bro just try it in a brown distressed leather strap with white stitching like the one that comes with the IWC would seriously look wow-Boom....
I really like the look of black leather strap with white stitching, but in the end, metal bracelets always win for my tastes. Great combo for sure nonetheless. Thanks for watching!
Really nice review and good photography. That said, I love looking at this watch and think the design is pretty unique but I just don't think it looks good on the wrist. Something about the dial just looks like a big pan.... and it's not just the fact that it's a big watch, I like big watches. I can't explain it. Anyway, still kind of want one... !
Nice piece for sure but to be honest, it is still way too big for a 6" wrist! I think a 34mm -38mm case is ideal for a 6" wrist. Thumbs up for a nice review!
I'd love it to be 38 mm but a man gotta do what he's gotta do. 99% of the time, 42 mm watches and up are a no go for me. But I love it way too much to put size between us! Thanks for watching!
Great job on the review! It does look big, but still awesome. I was lucky to find the 38mm version of this watch, it fits me perfectly. Unfortunately it didn't come on a bracelet which I would have preferred, but we can't have everything.
The Slender Wrist I would of guessed Spanish , but still Latin . How would this fit on a 7” or 18cm wrist ?haven’t went to the store yet to check it out , but I love this unique take on a aviator watch , my only concern is that it would look to big .
Man big watch are trendy , they are in. Few years was and we are still at this wave so dont let bother you with big/small watch, if you like it , wear it. We dont wear watch coz they are prety for others, we wearing them coz they are sweet for us. edit : dont forget, camera lens doing things bigger, i have for ma taste small watche and at the photo they look quite big. You have to see wrist from some normal distance to have neutral opinion, i guess 2 meters. From this distance i guess they will look ok, not big.
You're totally right. My lens behaves like a 38.4 mm, the human eye is more like 55 mm. In really life, it's still biggish, but I don't care :) As you said: wearing what we like (and not trying to please others) feels great!
Both are real. The previous movement was a stock ETA 2834-2 beating at 28800 vph. This one is the H-40, a modified ETA 2834-2 beating at 21600 vph with 80 hours of power reserve.
The bracelet looks too small for the case, bad design. Also it doesn't make sense as a pilot watch where legibility means everything (disappearing numerals).
I meant brushed sides, of course. BOOM!
(did I say BOOM enough in this vid?)
I like how the day and date does not cut off any numerals unlike the khaki king where the day "eats" the top of the dial.
I've got the blue dial version of this Pilot Day Date, absolute stunner. The Arabic numeral indices also light up based on certain light angles. I've also got a slender wrist at 6.75 inches and it works well for reasons you described.
This is my favorite pilot watch at any price.
I have a Jazzmaster with ETA 2892, which is incredibly accurate, and yesterday I bought a Khaki Field Aviation automatic with H30 and an 80-hour power reserve with a blue dial. Hamilton watches offer a lot for their price, which justifies their purchase.
You're definitely a great model for people with slender wrists! Thank you. I have about 6 and a quarter inch wrist so I hope to save for this one.

I’m considering purchasing this watch for my collection. So I am borrowing one from a friend to try out first. My wrist is 7.5 in (19cm).
You should get the Khaki King II. Same day complication but with a 40mm size. So sits better on a smaller wrist. Love your channel!
Why would you say that? The Khaki King II is a very boring, underwhelming watch compered to the H64615135.
The day/date complication looks very cramped on that watch. Not to mention, it’s a type A dial that doesn’t look nearly as good as this type B dial
I love the hands, It took me a couple of years but I finally purchased it
First time viewer. Loved the review. I have this piece. Larger wrist than yours. Live your rating system. Very fair review.
I quite like it with the leather strap too. More piloty. What do you think? It may reduce weight as well
Been wanting to get one of these and now you coerced me to go for it 👍
Sorry about that! 😅
I don’t like how the day at the top changes the numbers on the dial but I really like how it balances the watch. The day date at the three makes the dial look less balanced.

It looks great with a NASA Apollo watch strap. This was my first watch over 100USD and havent taken it off since I got it!

Can anyone tell me the name of that type of watch hands, and wouldn't that type of hands suit well a snk805?
This one does not have a regulating pin. Other channels have a regulating pin. Which one is the original interstellar one?
The one with the regulating pin is the original .
I love this watch it is very beautiful and interesting.
It really is!
A very nice watch and I am very close to pulling the trigger.
Someone pls tell me the H40 calibre. +/- accuracy is?
Saw this one at a retailer for the first time yesterday - it took a lot of willpower not to walk out with it (Christmas credit card bill is due...)
These digits catch the light in a very unique way, love it! I only wish the case will be 40mm. It would turn this watch into a bestseller.
Regarding the light, move the wrist?!
Think I'm gonna buy a nice riveted strap for mine! Also, idk about you but the lume on mine absolutely sucks! I still love the watch but the lume needs improvement.

Thank you so much! I think that has to do with the tiny bezel. Probably the only design element I would change on this watch!
Nice watch! 😃 I'm okay with a larger watch, especially if it's a diver or pilot watch, or just something you like.
Nice piece for sure but to be honest, it is still way too big for a 6" wrist! I think a 34mm -38mm case is ideal for a 6" wrist. Thumbs up for a nice review!
I'd love it to be 38 mm but a man gotta do what he's gotta do. 99% of the time, 42 mm watches and up are a no go for me. But I love it way too much to put size between us! Thanks for watching!
The Slender Wrist, Of course, that's the important thing! You're happy! Carry on my brother!
I agree. My black, and my white/blue Flightmasters are 42mm, and though they wear smaller they are just too good to pass on.
Would have been perfect if the background of the day date would have been black instead of white
....aaaand if it had AR, lume on the seconds hand, screw down and could resist a splash of water!
Great job on the review! It does look big, but still awesome. I was lucky to find the 38mm version of this watch, it fits me perfectly. Unfortunately it didn't come on a bracelet which I would have preferred, but we can't have everything.
If only that 38 mm version was still available and had the day at 12... as you said, we can't have everything! :) Thanks for watching!
Nice channel , subscribed.
That accent , where are you from ?!
Hey, thank you 😃 I'm a French native speaker from Belgium!
The Slender Wrist I would of guessed Spanish , but still Latin .
How would this fit on a 7” or 18cm wrist ?haven’t went to the store yet to check it out , but I love this unique take on a aviator watch , my only concern is that it would look to big .
@@manadog It will *fit* right, but it will *look* still big. But that's a pilot watch after, and a good looking one at that!
Does this watch have a screwed down crown?
No it doesn't
From what I read, no for the 42mm. Yes for the 46mm.
Man big watch are trendy , they are in. Few years was and we are still at this wave so dont let bother you with big/small watch, if you like it , wear it. We dont wear watch coz they are prety for others, we wearing them coz they are sweet for us.
edit : dont forget, camera lens doing things bigger, i have for ma taste small watche and at the photo they look quite big. You have to see wrist from some normal distance to have neutral opinion, i guess 2 meters. From this distance i guess they will look ok, not big.
You're totally right. My lens behaves like a 38.4 mm, the human eye is more like 55 mm. In really life, it's still biggish, but I don't care :) As you said: wearing what we like (and not trying to please others) feels great!
Well said. I have smaller wrist and I wear 45mm watch. It looks great and I feel happy.
Some channel, the rotor has a H in it. Whereas as some other channels don't. Which one is the real one?
Both are real. The previous movement was a stock ETA 2834-2 beating at 28800 vph. This one is the H-40, a modified ETA 2834-2 beating at 21600 vph with 80 hours of power reserve.
Lovely watch, but I bet it would be too large on my 7 inch wrist.
Bring back the slender wrist 😂😂😂
🤣
That 20mm lug is such a huge blow... Such a fantastic watch otherwise... 42 mm case with 20mm lug... Bummer...
The bracelet looks so good with that watch you would think it is integrated.
You don't know , don't turn back any watch , especially Automatic watch!
It should be bigger.
Dbsandman305 on ebay. I have a mint condition with the silver dial.
The bracelet looks too small for the case, bad design. Also it doesn't make sense as a pilot watch where legibility means everything (disappearing numerals).
True it’s a pilot - but it’s big. Enjoy 😉
Great looking watch but sadly it is too big. 39-40 is a perfect watch size.
Maybe if you are an average sized guy. I'm 6 foot 5 255lbs.. 44 for me.
