38mm recreation of the 34mm US Mil-Spec they made from the 1960's-1980's before the Marathon contract - with domed sapphire crystal and Hamilton's H-50 version of the ETA 2801-2 inside. I've wanted one of these for a while and it moves into the Military Watch accumulation next to the smaller originals. The other one similar to this with a 2804-2 and date complication moves to the Field Watch part of the accumulation.  |

Nice one to reissue plus more wearable at 38mm.

I have an older one with the 2804. They're great watches! |

Sweet watch, John! Great size adjustment for the reissue as well! Thanks . . . Hamilton wouldn't be able to sell them very well in today's market if they didn't increase the size to 38mm with a 20mm lug width. The Mil-Spec were 34mm with 16mm lug width. I've got two I wore for nearly all of a 21 year career. On the wrist, the 34mm were just fine. Didn't get in the way or get caught on anything which was an essential characteristic. The height on the wrist is the one thing I wouldn't like about a G-Shock. |
