Innovative, adventurous and accurate. It’s what pilots need in a timepiece and Hamilton always delivers. Designed with the modern aviator in mind, the Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono represents the true essence of a Hamilton watch – a unique combination of pioneering American spirit with the unrivalled precision of the latest Swiss movements and technologies.

A member of the Swatch Group – the largest watch manufacturer and distributor in the world – Hamilton has a prestigious history of serving the flying community, providing essential cockpit tools to pilots and co-pilots since the early days of flight. With a strong aviation heritage spanning more than 100 years, the Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono is one of Hamilton’s global aviator bestsellers, and the gold standard when it comes to timing the skies.

Watches are an essential tool in aviation as everything is based on accurate timing, and even the modern pilot requires a watch as a reliable backup to their digital multi-instrument display. Packed with practical features that pilots, co-pilots and navigators will love, and rugged good looks that the urban aviator will want to get his hands on, the Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono is the perfect Swiss aviator’s watch, combining accuracy and reliability with unique innovation. 

Made out of stainless steel and water resistant to 100 metres, the watch features a powerful automatic chronograph movement with an extended 60-hour power reserve, making it ready for non-stop flight. The timepiece features the first ever drift angle calculator to appear in a watch, helping pilots to accurately calculate how crosswinds will affect their journey, whilst its large Super-LumiNova numerals and sporty hands boast superior readability. 

These features are essential for the likes of the world-famous helicopter heroes of Switzerland’s Air Zermatt mountain rescue service, a proud partner of Hamilton Watches since 2011 and devoted users of the Khaki X-Wind during rescue missions.

Hamilton Watches has a solid foothold in Hollywood, with its products appearing in more than 500 major movies since 1932. The Khaki X-Wind Auto is a spotlight favourite, most recently appearing in Independence Day: Resurgence. Worn by Liam Hemsworth’s pilot character Jake Morrison, the watch helps him evade alien clutches when facing the end of the world!

The timepiece is also the first choice for international aerobatic pilots Juan Velarde, Dario Costa and Pete McLeod, a talented trio taking the Red Bull Air Race by storm. Recruited by Hamilton Watches to ensure that the brand remains at the forefront of aviation timekeeping technology in the years to come, customers are guaranteed that Hamilton’s latest pilot watches are only tested by the best.
