HamiltonVentura XXL Automatic Rubber-Strap Watch

Founded in 1892, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Hamilton quickly established a reputation for precision by producing the watches used to keep early American railroads on schedule and earning the title: The Watch of Railroad Accuracy.

In 1918, Hamilton watches timed the first U.S. Airmail flight between New York and Washington, D.C., marking the beginning of our long history producing technical timepieces for the aviation community. Today, daring pilots still rely on our watches to perform aerobatic maneuvers and complete rescue missions

Hamilton watches first appeared on-screen in the 1932 classic “Shanghai Express.” Since then, we’ve been chosen by filmmakers to star in over 500 movies and TV shows, even fulfilling custom requests for hits like “Interstellar” and “Tenet.”

In 1957, Hamilton transformed the watch industry with the world’s first electric watch, the iconic triangular-shaped Ventura and our commitment to innovation continued with the announcement of the Pulsar, the world’s first digital watch, in 1970.

Part of Swatch Group since 1974, current Hamilton watches bear the prestigious Swiss-made label. Our heritage-inspired designs powered by cutting-edge automatic and quartz movements showcase Hamilton’s unique combination of American spirit and Swiss precision.
