The Hamilton Boulton Watch Worn in Indiana Jones “Dial of Destiny” Film

The fifth and final instalment of Indiana Jones is premiering this month and as watch enthusiasts have been anticipating – there will be a watch to tie in with the storyline. Who better to feature alongside the world’s most famous American archaeologist than Hamilton – the silver screen’s most prominent watch brand? Having developed wristwatches that have featured on the wrists of movie stars for over 100 years, Hamilton chooses the Boulton watch for the “Dial of Destiny” film releasing at the end of June this year.

 

Hamilton’s cameo appearances on set

 

Some leading watch brands tout some impressive records like the world’s thinnest watch, the first chronograph movement, the first tourbillon or the watch with the greatest water-resistant rating. Others make a name for themselves in action-packed Hollywood movies. Hamilton is known as the movie brand and first appeared on screen in the 1932 Marine Dietrich movie Shanghai Express. The brand’s watches tie nicely into the world of film with distinct aesthetics but also promising affordable pricing that enables film fanatics and Hamilton enthusiasts to enjoy them too. Some of the more well-known Hamilton watches to feature on the silver screen include the Ventura when it was stylized on the wrist of no other than Elvis Presley in “Blue Hawaii”.

 

 

The Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date was a military-inspired watch that was a standard production model when it was seen in the movie “Interstellar”. In the film “Tenet”, it was the Hamilton Khaki BeLOWZERO watch that featured as a crucial instrument for the characters of the film who traversed timelines to destroy and save the world. In the “Live and Let Die” film, 007 agent James Bond wore the Pulsar watch on his wrist, whilst Stanley Kubrick commissioned a limited edition Hamilton X-01 Odyssey for his film, “Space Odyssey” in 2001.

 

These are just a few examples of Hamilton’s prominent role in the movie industry. Its watches have also featured in “Men In Black”, “Ocean’s Eleven” and “The Martian”. The latest watch to feature on screen is the Boulton watch – a design that first entered the brand’s American Classic watch collection in the 1940s. It now identifies as the watch of choice for the Indiana Jones character who has become iconic for his fedora and whip.

 

The new Hamilton Indiana Jones watch

 

 

If you’re anticipating the launch of the fifth and final instalment of the Indiana Jones story, you’ll be pleased to know the famous archaeologist’s choice of watch is very befitting for his character. The Boulton watch is a 1940s design that belongs to the watchmaker’s American Classic watch collection. The gold-toned watch is Art Deco-inspired – perfect for the period of the franchise movie. Sitting somewhere in between a cushion and rectangular shape, the Boulton watch from Hamilton boasts gentle curves and soft edges that give it a casual and relaxed vibe whilst its golden accents are beautifully classic and refined.

 

The Hamilton Boulton Indiana Jones watch features a white dial with a running second sub-dial located at 6 o’clock. The typeface chosen for the Arabic numeral hour markers is very tasteful indeed. Executed in the Serif style, which is rarely seen today, the markers are crisp and well-proportioned for the rest of the dial, with golden tones that compliment the finish of the case. The Hamilton name takes residence at 12 o’clock on the dial, framed by a classic railroad minute track in black.

 

 

The dimensions of the new Indiana Jones watch from Hamilton measure 27mm x 31.6mm, making them well-proportioned for the wrist, especially if you measure on the small side. The watch evokes a distinctly vintage feel on the wrist and is finished on a traditional brown calf leather band with an alligator pattern and a yellow gold PVD-coated stainless steel buckle to match the rest of the case. The watch is also water resistant to 30 meters and holds a quartz movement at its centre.
