This particular Hamilton Genève is a Royal Air Force issued '6bb' from 1974; the Genève marked dial is one of approximately only 700 issued in that year. Hamilton replaced the outgoing Smiths watches, which were produced from 1973 until 1976. Its 36mm brushed stainless steel tonneau-shaped case sits on the wrist like a cushion. The monocoque case means you have to go through the front to get to the movement. It is made from a single block of stainless steel and increases the watch's resistance to water, and gives it additional strength over a traditional case with a screw-down case back. The fixed spring bars have a lug-to-lug length of 41mm and a thickness of 10mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist. A domed crystal sits above a matte black dial. The wide minute track has pips coated in Tritium, large Arabic numerals mark the hours, and elegant sword hands are coated in Tritium. Text is printed precisely with the T in a circle, signifying Tritium. At 6 o’clock, the Broad Arrow indicated British Government property. On the reverse, it is engraved with its military Nato stock number and issue number inside a manually wound Hamilton Cal. 649, 17 jewels with hacking. The watch comes fitted on a well-suited aftermarket 19mm NATO strap.
