Watchmaker Hamilton has announced a new timepiece, made in partnership with Swiss rescue helicopter pilots.
Thewatchcomes with a pair of straps. The first is a blue, leather-lined nylon Velcro strap with a leather inner, and designed for use in the field (or rather, the Alpine helicopter rescue service). The latter is a brown suede strap intended more for civilian use.

Given its intended use case, this is a watch that puts simplicity and legibility first. The white-on-blue colour way is pin-sharp, as are the hands and the red-and-white striped seconds hand, which conveniently also mimics the Swiss flag.
What really caught my eye about this watch is its price, which at £1,285 makes this titanium timepiece feel like great value for money. You might not actually be saving lives in the Swiss Alps with daring helicopter rescue missions, but you’ll still feel special every time you strap this Hamilton to your wrist.
