One of the brands I always recommend when it comes to affordable Swiss watches is Hamilton. With a broad offering spanning hundreds of references across several major model families, the overall Hamilton collection can be a bit confusing. With that in mind, I wanted to put together a video that tells you everything you need to know to understand where to look when it comes to Hamilton watches. If you like this concept, be sure to comment other brands we could cover in this style down below!

I bought Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic as my first watch. Its fantastic! Wearing it daily.
I was about to buy one recently but went for the new seiko 5 field watch. Terrible idea 😞
My second automatic was Hamilton Khaki field day-date. The first is sitting in my drawer since …
Same, i don't know anything about watches tho. Any maintenance tips or just general tips when it comes to watches would be greatly appreciated.
Congratulations. Beautiful watch
I bought one too. Black dial on black leather strap. Awesome daily. 80 hour power reserve so convenient. Also bought an intramatic. Hard to argue the value proposition with Hamilton.
I have a Hamilton pocket watch from 1950. It was my grandfathers when he graduated college. It still keeps amazing time and he last had it serviced in the 60s. It’s now on display in a crystal dome on a hook. Very cool.
Same!
@@matthewholzner9526 Awesome. I actually found this website that could converted into a watch but I felt the doing that would be a disgrace to my grandfathers legacy. The patina of 70 years of use is actually pretty awesome. He bought that when he had nothing
@@2steaksandwiches665 excellent choice. It's beautiful on its own
It's evident that the man hours dedicated to making your videos has increased dramatically over the last couple years. Outstanding job! The production is great, the outline and table of contents in the intro is a unique user friendly experience.
I love these history heavy posts! Please consider doing one of these for every brand that has this much background. It could be longer too.
He'll do it in case other brands pay for this as Hamilton did :)
Thank you Teddy for being a watch nerd like the rest of us and specifically talking about what people wanna genuinely know! You the man I can tell you though this video through thoroughly
I am truly impressed by Mr. Baldassarre's overview of watches. Well beyond the superficial analysis of the surface features, he is fluent in his knowledge of the families of movements, the certifications, the histories, orientations within the market, and even mentions Hertz! What a professional. This video series stands head and shoulders above other on TH-cam. Sets the standard in my opinion.
Absolutely love the brand. Their designs resonate with me perfectly.
Great video Teddy, you should do more of these.
I love this brand. Bought my first hamilton about 15 years ago and I still get enjoyment when I wear it. Now I have several. Hamilton has a special place in my heart when it comes to watch collecting.
Really enjoyed this video Teddy, love to see more of this from other brands. I'm just getting into watch collecting, so this is really helpful!!
The Khaki Field Automatic is my favorite from this brand.
I bought a converter auto few months back, in pvd black just because I fell in love with it. After months of pretty much daily use and desk diving the watch is somewhere +/-2 sec a day and not even a minute monthly. PR is excellent and PVD shows absolutely no nicks even on the clasp or edges. I love this watch and I picked it over the 41mm Navitimer for the price, WR and PR.
I literally just bought a Khaki Field mechanical for an employee of mine, just promoted him to manager position and thought he needed a good first watch. Im anxious to see it in person myself honestly so I can look at buying the white dial version. I rock a Khaki Field Auto as my daily wear and it was my first watch. Absolutely a fan of their field watches!
you are a good boss.
@@wdou451 thanks dude!
I've been repairing vintage watches for a few years now. Almost all of the gold ones (Longines, Omega etc) were long service awards from the 50's to the 70's. I thought that sort of class from an employer was over, but you have just restored my faith that there are still decent employers out there.
Own three Hamilton’s auto’s and my favorite is the aviator khaki auto 42mm “Cooper” and with the light brown leather band with H logo with wings. So comfortable to wear I forget I have a watch on my wrist. Best 800$ I’ve ever spent. More people ask me about this watch than my Tuder Pepsi.
What an absolute amazing boss you are ❤ we get tenfold what we give. Your a good man 💪
Excellent run through. It's a classic brand, but sometimes can feel somewhat confusing with all the models. This was a great lesson. Thanks again, and keep up the good work. There's quite a few Hamiltons I'd love to own.
Killing it as usual. Best watch related content on the internet!
Fak
Yeah man, the quality of his videos is insane!
This content is really so incredibly valuable to anyone interested in watches. Thanks again, Teddy.
Thoroughly enjoyed this dive into Hamilton’s history and the different product lines. Thank you!
This was an excellent, informative and well organized video shedding some light on the brand. A video like this would great on the Ball brand as well.
As a Lancaster native, Hamilton is my go to brand. Just added a vintage Hamilton 6080 to my collection that was previously displayed at the National Watch and Clock Museum. Great work, as always, Teddy.
Hamilton watch meant a lot in my elementary school years as I was brought up /raised, by the treasurer of the company.
I will add that ironically, I now live in our home almost on top of The National Watch & Clock Museum.
Thanks for making such informative and well executed videos!
Love your videos man! I especially loved the one of RGM and how you actually went there and toured the factory! Keep the content coming please!
Excellent video Teddy, keep up this theme for other brands. Very cool jacket as well.
Great video as always! Would love to see this type of brand-focused talk with Longines.
Love this type of video focusing in depth on one brand!
Great video Teddy! I finally purchased my first Hamilton Khaki Officer 44mm Automatic. I have wanted a Hamilton for quite some time and your video along with other TH-cam watch channels helped guide me in what I wanted. My future Hamilton will be the Intra-Matic Auto Chronograph. Keep up the great work!
Love all your reviews, I'm learning alot. Very interesting and informative.
My Blue/Green Hamilton Broadway Chrono on bracelet is one of my favorite timepieces! Great vid Teddy! Also holding its value really well.
Very informative mate. Really appreciate your efforts. You deserve great success with your business with all that you put in.
Fantastic video, please keep the coming.. I have seen Omega interview and this video are very good to learn about these wonderful brands..
Hamilton Khaki Automatic was my first watch and loved to hear the history and product line overview! Great vids as always!
Great video. My wife got me a Hamilton Jazzmaster Maestro auto chrono as a wedding gift. Super versatile watch, classic design and awesome heritage. Its grown on me so much over the years.
Thanks for this excellent overview! I own several Hamilton watches and I enjoyed learning more about the brand. Great job.
Please do more videos like these Teddy. Absolutely brilliant.
Bought a jazzmaster auto Chrono for my first NICE watch. Wear it almost daily. I love it.
Teddy, I enjoyed this video and liked the brand run down. Very helpful.
Thank you so much! You’re videos are always so helpful! I’m still on the fence between Hamilton and Tissot, but this definitely does help understand the Hamilton brand. Keep up the good work and congrats on the engagement! Best wishes for you and the future misses!
Please tell me you went with the Hamilton!
Keep these coming with other brands. Loved it!
Great video, Teddy!
Definitely need more like this.
On the point review. Hamilton is a good choice for certain style watches. Dress, field, marine and affordable chronos. I was obsessed with Intramatic 68 limited issue and pulled the trigger in Reus Spain out of all places. Although Valjoux 7075 is a thick and noisy movement I still love the retro design and the fact it was limited to 1968 units.
Finally..a Brand focused video 👍🏼 I like that you point out the strength of a particular brand line up..like for Hamilton, it’s the Khaki and the Intra-Matic..like for the Omega, it’s the seamaster and speedmaster..I think, for someone starting out into the world of luxury watch, it is important to choose the model that really represents what brand is really about
Hi! For Hamilton what model will it represent the for the brand? Thanks
I need this for EVERY brand. This was absolutely incredible!
Awesome review, packed with so much details and history. Very informative and has inspired me to look closely at the Hamilton brand watches. I like the Khaki series....Again, Great review!
I have my grandfather's 30 year award Hamilton Masterpiece mechanical from BF Goodrich in Akron, Ohio. It was manufacturered in the early 1960s. A stunning and sleek dress watch and one of my prized possessions. I plan on buying a Murph for my son in a year as a graduation present.
My first "real" watch was inherited from my great-grandfather: A 1942 Hamilton 992 Railroad Pocket Watch. It got me started down this long and expensive road and I own a few more Hamiltons. Thank you for this excellent video examining this historic and really fun brand.

Great video. As a person getting into watches, these broad brand introductions are useful. I'm thinking of getting Hamilton's new Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer 38mm automatic as my first Swiss watch. Would like a video of you reviewing it.
Love Hamilton so much, thanks for making this intriguing video
Very well done. The best overview of the Hamilton Watch I have seen.
Just bought a khaki field auto as my first automatic watch, has just been eco-drives up to this point…. I absolutely love it!
I just got into watches two weeks ago when I bought a Timex Weekender on Amazon. Now I’m on to Teddy and Nico’s YT channels, learning a lot and having fun! Next up: Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic 38mm with a dark leather strap, can’t wait til Christmas!
Picked up the khaki field day date auto back in Oct2021, it has become my everyday wear. Absolutely love it.
Great video! A similar one for Longines might be a good idea, they have a large range of models which can be confusing at times. Love my X wind Chrono to bits!
This was amazing and educational Teddy. Yes please do other episodes of other Watch Brands…
Amazing video!!! Loved it!! Thanks Teddy!
Great video Teddy. Love these type of videos. Keep up the good work.
Love that black dial chronograph near the beginning of the video,just beautiful.
This video comes just in time, as I have just placed order for an Intra-matic Chronograph :)
Love this vid. Hope you make this a regular series. Id love to see one on Nomos
Appreciate the video! Thanks for all the information!
the date at 6 is a good design choice!
Got a Khaki OTW. Cant wait. Much respect for your work. You are the source
Very tastefully done. Fab video and thanks 🙏🏻
I’ve always been fascinated by Hamilton. I have my father’s 1963 Hamilton Accumatic A-450 with a 10k yellow gold filled case and a 17-jewel movement.
It still runs…thanks to my wife sending it away to be serviced.
I’ll be looking at more Hamiltons in the future. Thanks for the video!
Looking at getting a Khaki Field Auto as a self-gift for finally starting to get my career off the ground in a couple of months, and this was a really helpful guide. Thanks much for putting it together!
A great overview of Hamilton Teddy, I didn't realise how huge there product range was. They have certainly nailed the field watch range but like you I also like the oddball PSR, a reproduction based on the Pulsar (the brand name is now part of Seiko) that had a few seconds of fame early in the James Bond movie 'Live and Let Die' that I saw on release at the cinema as a child and I remember it well. I had to get one. It would be good to do a similar view of Tissot that in some areas competes along side Hamilton in some areas.
I'm a proud owner of a Hamilton Jazz master. It was my first entry level watch and I'll keep forever.
Yes love the brand rundown. Thank you
Thanks Teddy - great content as always. 👍
Hey Teddy! Great video, as always. I have one Hamilton as always and absolutely love it. I also found this video particularly interesting because I spent 4 years in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I did my undergraduate work at Franklin & Marshall College which was just a few blocks from a bunch of factories (Hamilton's former building, Armstrong Floors, etc.). It's remarkable how much important industry was in this seemingly all agricultural-based central Pennsylvania town. I enjoyed hearing the history of the company in Lancaster, most of which I just didn't know. But it made my ownership of one of their pieces even more personal. One more tidbit. . . I migrated from the New Jersey shore (where I grew up) and started college. I spent a lot of time on the F&M College radio station (WFNM, ironically), on the air. It didn't take more than a day or two for me to be told by local listeners that the correct pronunciation of the town is LAN-caster. I, like everyone else, called it LAN-CAS-ter, like the way we all pronounce Burt Lancaster. It wasn't hard to fix!
Keep up the great work, Teddy & Team.
Hi Teddy, great video, very informative. If you don't mind me asking, what's that jacket that you're sporting? Very stylish. Thanks for all of your wonderful content & output. Cheers!
I brought a Hamilton Khaki sunset , which as it turns out is reasonably rare , as my first daily mechanical 11 yrs ago and it’s still going strong today . Good Brand glad to see the brand getting stronger in recent times .
Absolutely fell in love with the jazzmaster open heart collection
I love the over simplified explanation of the watch collection. Would love to see if you could also explain
IWC Chaffenhausen also.
Wow nice video, lots of work putting this together I'm sure!
I just found this video. Thank you Teddy for posting this. I always love to hear about the history of a brand. For me, I have always associated Hamilton with the young executive starting out and wanting a very nice watch for the money. Watching Mad Men, I noticed the Hamilton Sputnik and Ventura on some of the young executives on the office. Also, in my Grandfather's time it along with Bulova were watches given at retirement for 30 + years of service.
Lastly, I also follow the fragrance channel, another great channel for information ....Thank you
Very interesting, looking at couple of the watches you mentioned 👍
new collector and my first love is antique Hamiltons. The Boulton is such a classy, timeless Tank competitor
Teddy - nothing compares to your videos!
Thank you for the walk-through of the brand!
Thanks Teddy. Love these videos.
Great video, very well done. Thank you.
Hamilton Khaki was my first mechanical watch, which I bought from Teddy's site of course. I love it!
Excellent content Teddy!!!
5 years ago, bought a Big Pilot Day Date as my first Swiss auto. My favorite watch.
Great video, Teddy. Loved this and you're spot on! I own the Khaki Auto and love it. I've heard similar reservations on the scuba/Navy, but love the looks of it. Not sure what they're thinking though with only 100m resistance for a dive watch, especially if the Khaki Auto also has 100m then what's the point? Love this type of video that breaks down brands like this....very informative. Would love to see something similar for Tissot. Other brands that might work in this format: Oris, Fortis, Sinn, and Glycine?
I learn more from your videos than any other watch videos on TH-cam. I’d love to see more of these brand overviews. Knowing the history of a brand is one reason I’m a watch enthusiast. Thanks again. Cleveland rocks.
that's right! cleveland does, indeed, rock!
Check out the Nekkid Watchmaker
@@nickcase2635 Thanks Nick. I’m already a subscriber. I’m open to any other recommendations you may have as well.
Great video. Really well done.
Watching this because my Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic came to the house today! Love this watch!
My first serious dive into the Swiss Watch game. The one I got was the Khaki King. I still love it and maintain it in my watch rotation right next to my Omegas. I would love to get another Hamilton down the road.
Watch it Teddy. Your pushing it!
Great topic I own the interstellar Cooper beautiful watch Day date perfect size with a great ETA movement can't beat the price or the build quality and looking at the cronos for my next purchase great video always informative thank you !
Love Hamilton.... Hammy's are not just a great choice for new watch collectors, seasoned enthusiasts love them too. I own Rolex, IWC, Omega etc and yet my latest purchase is the Hamilton Pioneer Mechanical, one of reasons I bought it was because Teddy here reviewed it~!!!!
teddy is one of the most stylisch guys on youtube, pure class.
Perfect timing, was just about to buy my first Hamilton Khaki watch😂
Awesome video man!
My first luxury watch was Khaki Field Automatic green dial. I love it. Wear it all the time.
I saw Hamilton in Interstellar and got curious. I came here to check if I will ever want-to-wear it. Good informative video. Thank you for sharing
Picked up a Khaki King as my first Swiss watch - still my favourite!
Yes we need more of these!
Never heard of Hamilton until I watched your vids!!!!
Good rundown on the brand and model offerings :). I have a few Swisse automatics and homages, mostly all divers. Just ordered a Hamilton khaki field mechanical :). Liked the day date but a lot of those are too much bling, little to no ar coating and would be better in brushed finished like IWC when you are heading into pilots. Personal preference but wanted something kind of vintage and a fan of fauxtina. Agree about so many models within Hamilton. That black intramatic is beautiful, was close to getting one (on special at the moment) they are thick but one day.. Tissot and Oris are usually solid choices depending on style.
Your content is so amazing!
I went for the Khaki Field Auto 6 years ago. Very happy with that one!
