New arrival! Hamilton Pioneer Mechanical

This one has been on my radar for a few years. Love the coin-edge bezel, cathedral hands, Havana-brown dial, and hand-cranked ETA 2801. It ticks lots of boxes for me, and the only reason I hesitated or didn’t go out of my way to buy it before now was the bead blasted finish (thought I would prefer it with a shinier brushed satin finish). It turns out the color tones on the dial and hands work perfectly with this finish on the case, and I’m really tickled about it!

The seller included its original bund strap that has a leather cover for the whole case, but I like the Hamilton pilot style strap shown here that the watch was mounted on when it arrived.

Thanks for viewing!
