Hamilton Broadway Day Date Auto

The Hamilton Broadway Day Date Auto is one of the three more sporty and urban models Hamilton just launched. Together with the Hamilton Broadway Auto Chrono and the Hamilton Broadway Day Date Quartz the watch is inspired by Broadway. We’re not surprised as Hamilton watches featured in over 450 movies already. From Interstellar to Men in Black.

The first movie with actors wearing a Hamilton was Oscar-nominated The Frogmen in 1951. Sure, there’s a Hamilton model that refers to that movie: the Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman, which had a remake this year. After 1961, when Elvis Presley personally selected a Hamilton Ventura to wear in his movie Blue Hawaii, the watch company established itself as one of Hollywood’s sweethearts.

With the new Broadway series Hamilton is blending the dramatic Hollywood feel with a more modern and urban vibe. This can be mostly seen in the black dial with the remarkable vertical lining. Together with the raised outer ring on the dial it is designed to mimic the streets of New York. With the central line on the dial being, what else, Broadway. That feeling is underlined by the skyscraper-like hands, with Super-LumiNova coating. The devil is in the detail as we see the straight ‘Broadway’ line continues in the leather strap. The strap has contrasting light stitching and closes with a stainless steel buckle clasp. However, there is also a version with stainless steel bracelet, without this line.

The stainless steel case of the Hamilton Broadway Day Date Auto measures 42 millimetres. Just 1 millimetre smaller than the Auto Chrono model. And it shows the date and day at 6 o’clock. The H-30 movement, an ETA based movement adjusted by Hamilton, has a firm 80 hour power reserve.
