Hamilton Military Ordnance
More actions
The Hamilton Military Ordnance is a 1940s American field watch built to United States Army requirements: a plain brushed steel case, black dial with luminous Arabic numerals and an outer minute track, sub-seconds at 6 o'clock, and a hand-wound movement, worn on a fabric strap. It comes from the years when Hamilton had halted consumer production entirely to supply the American armed forces, an output that ran from marine chronometers to hundreds of thousands of servicemen's wristwatches. (Wikipedia) Hamilton sourced a collector-owned example (steel, on an army-green strap) as the second of the two vintage pieces confirmed for Matt Damon's Lieutenant General Leslie Groves in Oppenheimer (2023), the one genuinely military watch among the production's six vintage Hamiltons.
