Hamilton goes JLC for Basel 2010 , for under $2500!


As I have eluded to before, it appears that all the low end watch brands lately are trying to emulate the high end brands and vise versa to some degree. Much is the the case with Hamilton for this years Basel Fair 2010, where they are launching the Khaki X-Landing. This watch is kind of reminiscent of the JLC Extreme world chrono from the overall design aesthetic and even though it's technically not an in house movement, it kind of is because Swatch Group owns ETA and Hamilton, and the best part is that it's under $2,500 ,which is an absolute bargain! The problem these days is that all the high end brands are making these kind of extreme watches and unless they are highly limited, their value plummets dramatically as soon as you buy it, so it makes sense to buy watches like the new Hamilton Khaki X-Landing because at least you won't get butt raped in the process. Here are the details of the watch.


The case, in stainless steel grey PVD, measures 44mm. It has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 100 meters.

Movement is the Swiss automatic ETA caliber 7754 with GMT complication. Dials can be had in black or grey, with a bracelet or leather strap.
