Hamilton X-Wind Auto Chrono

Introduced in 2005, Hamilton’s W-Wind was the world’s first watch to feature a drift-angle calculator. Designed in collaboration with aerobatic champion Nicholas Ivanoff, the sliding scale assists pilots with correcting for crosswinds during flight. Two separate scales are built into the chapter ring, which are adjusted by rotating the crowns at two and four o’clock. A third scale on the bi-directional rotating bezel is required to complete calculations. Hamilton introduces a brilliant new blue dial color to the automatic chronograph version of the X-Wind. It is powered by the Hamilton caliber H-21 automatic movement with a 12-hour totalizer, a day-date complication and a 60-hour power reserve.
