Recognizable models such as the Ventura, worn by Elvis Presley, and their WW2 military issue “Khaki” watches, Hamilton still enjoys a large presence in the market today. Offering both well made modern pieces and a backlog of wonderful vintage items - Hamilton offers much for the vintage and modern collector.
