Some engineer came into the CEO's office in Hamilton with the idea to make that watch...that sounds unbelieveable......but the fact that idea was accepted, that sounds even more unbelieveable. That guy should be awarded with a medal. It's very hard to find something so unusual, so nice. That thing is readable, it's useful, it's a masterpiece. That thing looks like analog G-steel on a drugs :-) :-) :-). ETA inside, swiss made crazy thing, to me that sounds like a perfection. That thing really don't have to be modded because that bracelet is beautiful. That movement looks like a song, a work of art. It was an extreme pain to produce that thing, i'm sure. Come on Simucom, that thing is not designed to take it inside the cave, or to dive deep, a lume is not a primary thing there, they could put a great lume there but they didn't want to do it, that was a message from Hamilton off course. Good job Hamilton, great video Simucom Like
I got the black version with rubber strap, I feel like it is easier to wear with different outfits, and doesn't stand out at first as much, until someone spots it with its weird shape. Absolutely the favourite watch I own.
Yes I agree it is expensive. It is considered "budget-friendly" to the higher-end watch collecting community (can't wait till I can consider that budget-friendly lol). At least for me it was priced reasonably enough for it to be a realistic goal to save for. The style is so great too. I think they did an excellent job blending the 60's rock style with today's modern lines.
There's nothing wrong with it at all, only mentioning that for me personally it was a little difficult to operate with my sausage fingers. Elvis knew how to dress clean that's for sure.
Weird design, but very clean in the same time. 0:31 - Wow, the red minute markers and the white ones between them resemble so much these ones of the speedometer of old Cadillacs. I usually associate such 15 minutes markers with a rotating bezel and a diver. May be wrong... 0:43 - Is the glass having anti reflective undercoating? It doesn't look to have... This way the play of the lights looks more natural in my opinion. 1:26 - Very cool how curved is the body in that position, and this domed glass, witch almost seamlessly integrated in the... bezel. Looks to me almost as a CRT TV watched on the side. 2:31 - Why infamous? Is this even thinkable when you wear the most famous triangle watch (probably in the world)? :D Actually, it (the 3D triangle of the watch body) reminds me for a rotor of a rotary engine (Mazda RX-7). 3:13 - Fortunately, we already know what this abbreviation means from the source :) 80 hours power reserve is really impressive, indeed... These are more >3 days, wow! 3:53 - Never and nothing is perfect... Always there are some cut corners which otherwise look as easily achievable. 6:05 - Love the look of the bracelet - looks solid and runs fluently with the butterfly style clasp, in my opinion. Very cool and relaxing review. Thanks!
That's awesome, really appreciate the positive feedback. The background music I got from UA-cam Studio's audio library. It's called My Trains a Comin - Unicorn Heads
Great review. I wish you would of covered a bit more on the history...Elivis traded Omega for this watch (mostly just being humble)...but the fact the predicessor to this watch spans history including elvis wearing his in the movie Blue Hawaii is a pretty big deal. Since this is an automatic, I get it would be difficult to discuss the watches origin as a pioneer electric watch before the infamous quartz crisis...but it really is a beautiful watch that deserves the care and romance of an automatic. Love this watch, and great job showing it to us. I think your review provides some of the clearest angles I have seen yet. Good work.
I always forget about the powermatic 80 reserve, pretty decent grey market price for an icon only other really iconic piece with an ETA and a decent price I can think of is a maybe a glycine airman
I have never owned either a Tissot or a Glycine despite their very good reputation. I will have to visit their catalogue even though more watches is really the last thing I need in my life right now lol.
It's not bad but it's not an improvement on the original and it has nothing to do with Elvis who wore the original. One thing Hamilton could do it take the original and lume the hands and markers but none of the variations are great like the original.
Is that a workout watch ? To me it does not look practical to wear doing exercising . A fitBit watch would be more of an exercising watch . But hey...I guess a person can wear a Rolex while working on a car engine if they choose to , but it wouldn't be me .
It's not a workout watch at all. However I have worn it while working out and it was fine. No issues shoulder pressing 102kg/225lbs overhead. I've noticed if a watch is not designed properly for me, it will really start to dig into the back of my hand when I press over 84kg/185lbs and it's quite uncomfortable.
I took his comment to mean that as a watch reviewer he wore it in many different circumstances to determine its level of fuctionality. This is especially critical since many would pass on a watch like this since it is assumed the odd shape would make it unconformable or unwearable in cirtain conditions. You may not be going to work out, but if a task presents itself durring uour normal day that might have you physicly active, lifting, or mobile you sure dont want to have to be removing your 1-2k watch and pocketing it so you complete a task that came up in the moment.
O my god, this version - auto, black dial, all in steel gives me goosebumps! MY PRESSIOS, I MUST HAVE IT!

I don't think it's possible for this watch to not stand out lol.
Wow!!! That is stunning! This is a Grail watch for a good friend. Would make a nice addition to anyone's collection. Thank you for the great video!!!
I totally agree. It's nice to add a new shape to my watch box!
That's awesome!!!!!! So high though in price. That style is timeless. I would rock it for sure.

Yes ! I’ve been really geeking out in these watches. The original electrical versions are so cool. Would be worried about getting serviced though
I will eventually try and get my hands on the more classic style Ventura as I do consider those to be pure class.
I first see Elvis Presley himself wearing one then I had to get it myself and I love it and I've never had say problems with the dial winder
There's nothing wrong with it at all, only mentioning that for me personally it was a little difficult to operate with my sausage fingers. Elvis knew how to dress clean that's for sure.
@@degenerateWA talk about sausage finger's, I had to specially order 2 more links so my watch could fit
@@ajsmith5295 wow I thought I had it bad with my 7.5" wrists. Good stuff💪
This watch and the white face are the best version, only in automatic, I have the white face, unique watch for sure.
Super cool, beautiful, sexy, and classy all in one package 🤘

Great analysis as always.
I’ve been enjoying your reviews a lot. What’s the name of the background song used here? Great choice of music.

Means a lot. With all of the outstanding watch channels out there, having a content that is clearer than all of them is an achievement🤘
Great review! MIB got me into these as well!
Awesome! Thank you!
The original "Ventura" was an Electric watch while the atomatic version was called the Pacermatic!

Love it! The elvis feel
Yes, very cool indeed. Like they took all the great things about the 60's and today and blended it together.
Can’t find this in silver with the same band ? Any ideas 💡
No idea, that's unfortunate if it's no longer available. I see one for sale used on eBay if that helps any.
Definitely a head turner. The best thing about this watch besides the design is the price. I would love to add this to my collection.
Great review!
Totally agree! I consider Hamilton to be expensive, but very realistically attainable with some patience.
Getting mine tomorrow
Great choice, you're gonna have lots of fun with it🤘
Mmmm...like it very much. Think it would have looked more elegant on a leather strap though.
Pleasant review, I am already checking this watch out for a few years, yes no yes no, but I will get one in 2022, thanks
Fantastic, it's a beautiful and unique piece that will spark up a discussion with enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike.
I love this watches, so modern?
Very futuristic looking. Perfect for arresting aliens 👽
@@degenerateWA elvis didn't die, he only returned to home
My Seiko Sna755 is obviously heavily influenced by Ventura. They both have great wrist presence!
I checked it out, that's a funky watch too (in a good way).
An skeletonized ventura would be awesome
I think there actually is one. Not the same case as this one but still a Ventura.
Yes, indeed there is one.
This watch looks like it's gonna fly at any time.
It would look great on the wrist of a suave airline pilot for sure!
Beautiful watch but a non reflective crystal would have been great. Too much reflection....
Here come the Men In Black. Is all I need to say to make people want this watch.
True! An excellent movie (at least from my memories as a 10 year old) and an excellent watch.
Too big for me but an amazing watch
Just like a Porsche.
I'm glad someone gets what I'm trying to say!😁
