Hamilton has two lines, American Classic and Khaki. All of their watches fall into one or the other. I have three from the Khaki line, all of which use auto movements (two Valjoux 7750 and one ETA). I would imagine the Field watches would be where you would find the manual wind movements. And yes, this Stowa is a beauty! Sort of. Hamilton has two lines, American Classic and Khaki.

Is that true? Looks nice. Talkin about German watches tho... aren't Sinn watches the bomb too! Same movement as the Hamilton Khaki- apparently it's a pocket watch movement or something. Is that true?

Nothing like a hand-wound watch with a display back. I think I'd figure out a way to strap one on upside down so I could watch the balance wheel all day long. But then I'd miss that clean dial....
