Inspired by the Model 23, a cutting-edge pocket watch used by U.S. soldiers during WWII, the Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer's distinctive design is a tribute to Hamilton's aviation and military heritage. With ultra-legible numerals, cathedral hands and a railway track outer scale, this 38mm automatic pilot watch has a sporty yet refined character that's ready to fly.

Might just be a perfect casual watch. Love the fit and finish. Might look for a thinner leather band to mix it up.

Purchase was easy and the watch has a cool background story which is what sold me. There are so many good options and this ticked all the boxes vintage style, size was perfect, and a quality brand

Phenomenal watch! You aren’t getting a dial like this at this price point anywhere else. Hamilton is a company with history and this watch honors that.

The build quality is excellent. I love the design of the dial. I wish it had a larger case size like a 42. I would like it to have manual wind. Not sure it does or not. The watch band is too short for my 8.25 inch wrist. I would like the band lug width to be 22mm. The luminance is a little weak and short lasting.

I ordered my Khakio Aviation Pilot Pioneer for its simplicity and minimalist design. I most often care about what time it is, and how many minutes I have left before I should have visual on my next checkpoint. This timepiece provides exactly those two features while looking fantastic, and fitting my wrist well. I used this on my private pilot checkride the other day, and it made tracking time between waypoints during the cross-country portion a breeze.

This watch is beautiful. Well made, unique and elegant. I love that it doesn’t have a day/date complication, since this preserves the symmetry of the dial. Also the texture of the dial and the elegance of the numbers make it a truly original design. Love this watch!!!!
