Elegant look versus military-look. The new Hamilton Broadway watches stand for a modern metropolitan design, the new Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman are super-sporty watches and of course a very stylish accessory …
The Hamilton Broadway watches are available in three versions:
in a 40 mm Day Date Quartz version,
in a 42 mm Day Date Automatic version and
as a 43 mm Automatic Chronograph.
The automatic models feature a power reserve ranging between 60 and 80 hours.
The clean, sleek black dial faces are built along vertical lines contributing to an upward-looking effect. These lines are also reprised on the decorative ring below the bezel and crown, forming a recurrent leitmotif that gives the Hamilton Broadway its unique character.
The urban ethos is further accentuated by a central line on the dial, reminiscent of the fabled New York street running between skyscrapers. This motif extends all the way along the smooth leather strap with its visible stitching, and is echoed in the contrasting finishes of the triple-row bracelet.

Why did Hamilton add lume to the 2 on the 12 o’clock hour marker? It’s off-center to the dial and ruins the symmetry. This is not the first time that Hamilton gets things almost right.
Both are very nice watches and certainly up for consideration. The 42mm frogman with the canteen crown is especially intriguing to me.
PS: I really don’t need another 100 bar watch. ‘-)
BTW, is it an automatic helium escape valve?
Automatic …
The Frogman 46 mm looks great, but the date should be black as the dial with white numbers.
Both Hamilton Broadway Auto Chrono and Hamilton Broadway Day Date Auto, especially with steel bracelet, look quite attractive and what’s more, both these watches are quite affordable.
I am sure that quite a few people would have both these watches on their wishlist.
