One of the best marketing tools for a watch brand is an exciting, real-life action story. Whether providing field, dive, or even marine chronometer watches for US Army and Navy servicemen or appearing in cameos on the silver screen, many of Hamilton‘s historical watches have seen their fair share of action.
The Frogman Hamiltons ‘s tough diver, got real-life experience with the US Navys underwater demolition teams and even appeared in the 1951 movie, The Frogmen renacting dramatic missions undertaken by the combat divers.
Hamiltons vintage military-grade dive watch resurfaced in 2023 & Hamilton expands the Frogman Auto with new models in more compact 41mm cases.
ACTION-READY Hamiltons tough purpose-built diver with an unusual locking mechanism on the crown was part of the Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs) gear and used on mine-clearing missions in preparation for land invasions from 1943 on.
One of the most distinctive features of the original waterproof Frogman was its screw-capped crown that looked like the lid of a canteen affixed to a small chain soldered onto the caseband, earning its nickname as the Canteen watch (Cartiers Pashahas a similar-looking crown protection system).
As a rugged 300m water-resistant sports watch, most cases display brushed surfaces, although there are slim, polished bevels to highlight the architecture. The unidirectional rotating bezel to time dives has a notched and polished profile for better grip.
The bezel features polished numerals and markings in relief and the inverted triangle with a luminous dot at noon.
All the dials are matte and have a granular surface with large applied indices and an Arabic numeral at noon, all treated with Super-LumiNova.
As Hamilton explains, the split Arabic numeral 12 is a nod to military aesthetics. All three hands – hour, minute and seconds – are also treated with Super-LumiNova.
For enhanced visibility, the blunt-tipped minute and arrow-shaped seconds hands are enhanced with a bright orange outline that matches the Automatic 300m /1000ft inscription on the dial.
Although it is hidden beneath the sealed caseback with a diver’s mask in the centre, this robust automatic delivers a beefy 80h power reserve and is fitted with a silicon escapement and Nivachron balance spring to improve resistance to shocks, temperature variations and magnetic fields.
