RAF Pilot's 6B Hamilton Watch c.1968

A scarce RAF first pattern Hamilton 6B wristwatch, issued to pilots in the 1960s as an alternative to the IWC, Jaeger Le Coultre and Omega Mark 11 watches.This Hamilton is in excellent condition, keeping good time, probably resulting from a strict maintenance schedule during its working life with the Royal Air Force.Retaining all its original features, this Hamilton is a great timepiece for those collectors who wish to wear their military watches. With its 37mm diameter steel case, it is perfect for modern life.Currently, this watch is on a vintage leather strap, quite possibly fitted soon after the watch was new. A NATO strap will accompany this watch.In keeping with our philosophy to keep our military timepieces authentic, this watch will be cleaned but not polished. As it is, the case is in first-class condition, showing just minor signs of careful service wear, which will remain.
