When was the last time that you went to the movies? If you’re a watch fan and love action and adventure, you’ll enjoy the new Indiana Jones movie, which starts June 30. In Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Indy wears a Boulton for his return, a Hamilton timepiece from the 1940s.
For over 90 years, Hamilton watches have been featured in major Hollywood movies, adding depth to cinematic storytelling. As part of their commitment to staying on trend, Hamilton partnered with Ben Wilkinson from the props team for the upcoming film to ensure the watches accurately reflected the time period.
Along with his whip and fedora, the Hamilton Boulton is in line with the character of Indiana Jones. With his inquisitive mind and thirst for noble pursuits, Indy is known for his talent to escape dangers in the nick of time. However, it is not only the Boulton timepiece which stars in the movie, as Renaldo, Indy’s loyal friend, wears the the custom Khaki Navy Scuba.
First introduced in the 1940s, the Hamilton Boulton, part of the American Classic collection, has been re-imagined several times, while maintaining its distinctive cushion-shaped case and its signature Art Déco aesthetics. The quartz watch features a white dial with prominent subsidiary seconds and distinguishing serif-style and slightly raised numerals. The stainless steel/PVD case is water-resistant to 100 meters and has a diameter of 27mm x 31.6mm. Pricing is marked at $695.
