I've just published my review of the Hamilton Pilot Pioneer. It's a great reissue of a classic military piece, but I've got to admit, I find the pricing a bit odd.
It retails for £720, but it doesn't offer much more than the Khaki Field Mechanical, which is just £395. About the only improvement in specs is that the Pilot Pioneer has 50m more water resistance.
I can't help but feel that this is a bit of a cash grab on Hamilton's part.
Anyway, what do you guys think? Is the Pilot Pioneer worth the extra cost?
