“Time waits for no man,” as the saying has it, especially when applied to the issue of environmental protection. Hamilton is reinforcing the urgent call to action made by the non profit environmental group, Conservation International (CI) with a special new watch, the Hamilton Khaki Conservation Auto Chrono.

Hamilton Khaki Conservation Auto ChronoDesigned in collaboration with Harrison Ford, vice chair of the organization’s Board, the watch is dedicated to encouraging individuals to take time to reflect on conservation and the need to preserve important resources. The recently issued piece also contains a new movement, the H31, highlighting the brand’s commitment to translating technological progress into measurable benefits. A significant portion of the proceeds generated by the new watch will contribute to time-sensitive conservation work of CI.

Time for action
The work at CI embraces six vital areas – climate, fresh water, food, health, cultural services and biodiversity. With the Khaki Conservation Auto Chrono, Hamilton and CI mark their third collaboration project to raise funds for and awareness of the organization’s valuable work. This potentially benefits initiatives as diverse as bringing clean drinking water to communities in Madagascar, as well as supporting sustainable coffee farmers in Mexico. Harrison Ford confirms the added value of this ongoing partnership, “The first two collections Hamilton and I created to support our cause proved extremely successful, so I’m sure that the new watch will follow in those footsteps. By contributing to Conservation International’s mission in this way, Hamilton is helping us achieve measurable conservation outcomes with a far-reaching impact.”

A tribute to sustainability
Committed to making the most of that priceless and threatened resource, time, the Hamilton Khaki Conservation Auto Chrono is powered by a newly developed movement. The H31 integrates an above average power reserve of 60 hours. It also affords impressive operational stability, assuring long-term accuracy, due to the presence of a reversed or glittered spiral. The date has a fast corrector at 10 o’clock, a subtle reminder to all wearers that “it is Time to DO”. A vintage beige dial, an intricately grooved case and a stitched brown leather strap add nostalgic touches to underline the theme of preservation and longevity. The robust stainless steel case and sapphire crystal further emphasise the importance of durability. On the back of the case is the charity’s logo, endorsed by the signature of Harrison Ford.
