The Hamilton Broadway Day Date Quartz is one of three more sporty and urban models Hamilton just launched. The other two models have automatic movements; this one is the entry level model with an entry level price. It’s also the smallest in size.

Hamilton is known for the numerous times (over 450 times) their watches were strapped on the wrists of movie characters. So it’s not really surprising the newest collection is dedicated to Broadway. Besides Hollywood, that other place where fiction takes the center stage.

The Hamilton Broadway Day Date Quartz is 40 millimeters which is rather small these days

It was Stanley Kubricks 2001: A Space Odyssey for which Hamilton created a watch especially for the movie. A trick that was repeated in 2014 for Christopher Nolans Interstellar. Matthew McConaughey wears a Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date playing Cooper. While his daughter Murph (played by Jessica Chastain) has a customized piece, created by Hamilton just for the movie. The Hamilton designers worked closely with Christopher Nolan’s production team to develop a new watch mixing existing designs and shapes into a unique piece that would perfectly fit her character and the story. So who knows when the Hamilton Broadway Day Date Quartz will shine on the big screen…

Right, three Broadway watches and this one is the smallest. Its stainless steel case measures 40 millimeters and houses an ETA quartz movement. Day/date is located at 3 o’clock. Just like the other two models, the raised outer ring on the dial gives it a 3D look. With special hands (coated with super-luminova) to echo the skyscrapers of New York. The central line on the dial continues on the leather strap is supposed to illustrate Broadway. Which is not the case if you want the version with a steel bracelet.
