A watch born the same year and still ticking while I am.
Now that is something special.

What model is this Hamilton watch, please, I've found my favourite style.
How much did you paid for this?

It’s a khaki field mechanical.
Worth noting that’s a hand wound so you need to do that everyday but they are thin and keep good time.
Don’t buy new as they have been making them forever and plenty are around.

Cost about 300-500 depending on version used. I sold that one for 400
