\u00a0Introduction<\/h2>\n

Hamilton has updated the Khaki Aviation Pilot collection, replacing some now-discontinued references<\/strong> while introducing a new collection stretching the offering to 36 mm large models. Also, a new 42 mmm day-and-date lineup hits the spot.<\/p>\n

Size matters in watchmaking and the trend towards reducing the case size keeps going; the collection\u2019s overhaul means that most 46 mm self-winding models phase out<\/strong>, and so do some quartz-powered 42 mm references.<\/p>\n

Such a strategy aims, it seems, to extend and pimp up the self-winding lineup<\/strong> while phasing out quartz models and quartz chronos.<\/p>\n

The new Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date Auto<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start with the more complicated 42 mm timepieces, whose differences from some of the discontinued models are the following: they display the day and date in line at three<\/strong>. The case slims down from 12.15 mm to 12.10 mm and now houses the H-30 calibre instead of the H-40, whose day of the week is arranged in a curved window<\/strong> at twelve.<\/p>\n
