The Hamilton Watch Company has made watches since 1892 and has a long history in aviator watches. Hamilton and the Swiss helicopter rescue team, Air Zarmatt conglomerated to make the Hamilton Khaki Flight Timer 
This multi functional aviator watch combines an analogue and digital watch to bring a host of function that will appeal to pilots and non-pilots alike.
The watch is powered by ETA’s E20.373 movement, which is a part of ETA’s super-precision Thermoline family of thermocompensated quartz movements. A big mouth full, but only means a highly accurate watch.
The Hamilton Khaki Flight Timer comes in a couple of different colour option, with a choice of stainless, leather or resin (my favourite) bracelet. The casing is made of stainless steel and has a diameter of 40 millimetres and the glass is Sapphire crystal a hard, scratch resistant material.
The glass is covered in an anti-reflective coating and for night-time, the hands have the standard luminance coating and the digital side a backlight.
The crown and 3 additional buttons on the 2,4 and 10 o’clock positions operate all the functions of the watch.
Analogue Functions:
The analogue side of the watch has big skeleton hands to enable a clear view of the digital face behind it. When you press one of the multi-function buttons the hands can also be moved out of the way for a better view.
A standard chronograph is part of the analogue functions and is operated by a dedicated buttons, which is a convenient feature.
The bezel is a bit unusual due to the fact that it counts down with the minute hand and not up like a dive watch.
Digital Functions:
It is the digital side of the watch that makes it a true aviator watch. The Hamilton Khaki Flight Timer is also a personalised logbook. It will record 20 flights and up to 99 landings for each flight (poor pilot who has to do that).
Other functions include:
• Current Time
• GMT
• Extra Time Zone
• Perpetual Calender
• Alarm
• ISA temperatures
All the functions can be quite complicated and a good read of the manual is necessary to make full use of all the functions.
