Hamilton

Hamilton is a watch brand with American roots and Swiss production today, known for its strong history in aviation, military, railway, and cinema watches. Founded in 1892, the brand has produced a wide range of reliable mechanical, automatic, and quartz timepieces. Hamilton watches are appreciated for their practical design, historical character, and accessible connection to both American and Swiss watchmaking traditions.

Bezel

The bezel is the ring surrounding the watch crystal and dial, often serving both decorative and functional purposes. Depending on the watch type, a bezel may be fixed, rotating, engraved, or fitted with an insert for timing functions such as diving or elapsed time measurement. Bezels are commonly replaced when they are scratched, dented, missing, or no longer secure on the case.
