An updated classic from Hamilton, the Lloyd #H19332553 retains the signature octagonal dial and subdial of the original 1950s Lloyd wristwatch, while updating the decorative flourish of the square steel case for a more contemporary look. The goldtone stainless steel case frames a white dial with goldtone hands and Arabic numerals, three subdials displaying the chronograph functions, and a date display at the four o'clock position. Elegant and distinctive, this Hamilton watch is showcased on a brown leather strap with topstitching.
About Hamilton
Founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1892, the Hamilton watch company has a history that parallels American history itself. Hamilton crafted watches for the railroad industry at the turn of the century, for the major airlines during the commercial aviation boom of the 1930s, and for American soldiers during both world wars. Ever since Elvis Presley sported a Hamilton Ventura in his film Blue Hawaii, Hamilton has been closely tied with Hollywood. Hamilton created the futuristic timepieces for Stanley Kubrick's classic film 2001: A Space Odyssey, and its watches have been featured in more recent blockbusters, including Men In Black and Lethal Weapon. The Hamilton brand consists of two distinct lines. The American Classics collection combines elegance with a dash of nostalgia for the golden age of Hollywood, while the sporty Khaki collection, inspired by the original wartime watches, is technical, adventurous and tough. All Hamilton watches are expertly crafted, using precision Swiss watch movements.
The Hamilton Story
The Hamilton story is a 120-year road that meanders from Lancaster in the United States to Biel, Switzerland, the world capital of watchmaking. Today, Hamilton is known worldwide thanks to its pioneering role in the worlds of aviation, cinema, as well as electric and digital technology. Hamilton watches have singular shapes that exhibit a perfect pairing of personality and design, which combine American spirit with Swiss ingenuity.
Hamilton was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Its first collection of pocket watches, the Broadway Limited, was known as "The Watch of Railroad Accuracy."
In 1914, Hamilton was further thrust onto the national scene when it was chosen to be the official watch supplier of the U.S. Armed Forces. In the late teens and early '20s, pioneer pilots of the era trusted the Hamilton brand for its precision and accuracy and it became the official watch of many airlines in the 1930s.
Hamilton watches could be seen on the silver screen throughout the '60s and '70s, most notably a Hamilton Ventura was worn by Elvis Presley in the film, Blue Hawaii.
Today, Hamilton watches are synonymous with iconic style, as they continue to grace our lives through some of our favorite movies. Hamilton watches can be seen in such films as Men In Black, Lethal Weapon 4, Fight Club, and Independence Day.
