Can you show me your vintage inspired modern watch?
I would like to see them. I know we have a ton.

Mine is the BB 58 blue.

What makes it vintage inspired? Box crystal, smaller case, matte dial and rivets.

Same watch as you - perfect for a vintage vibe. I wear mine on various NATO’s and these two in particular put me in even more vintage mood.

Great thread idea - will follow

They were both homages to earlier models from the 50s in the 'electric' era.

But Hamilton was such an incredible company tech and design-wise.
