Moving onto its Type B pilot-spec dial, it is done and conformed to look precisely like the German Beobachtungs-Uhren (observation watch)- the inclusion of the iconic double-digit Arabic numerals, matched with white luminous markers, and bold sword-shaped hands. With all these aspects, Hamilton has kept them in a way, which let us described it like how Eminem rhymes his selective words with his instrumental bars- uncluttered, vintage, utilitarian, soldier-ly, and versatile. The dial took the ode-to-the-past aesthetic, like, for instance, the blue colored Type- B that only bears the "Hamilton" and "Automatic" titles on the dial. The dial finishes off with a beautiful day-date display at 3 o’clock. Strapping the Khaki Aviation Pilot Auto to the wrist, one can conclude the watch evokes a spirit of adventure and exploration with its artistic blend of modern technology and vintage inspiration.
The Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date Auto Blue is Powered by a well-known movement, the Powermatic 80 or caliber H-30, this timepiece contains a massive power reserve of 80 hours -also due to a reduced 3Hz frequency/21,600bph and updated kinetic chain. Thus this watch is superior in movement vis-a-vis other watches powered by Japanese movements. Further, the mainspring got lengthened due to the reduction of the barrel arbor's core. This allows a longer power reserve benefiting a hand-wound movement, with the lower beat-rate reminds one of an old school movement found on vintage military watches. With all this said, Hamilton truly is the few that can produce such movement upgrade on a large scale and further being well priced.
