Hamilton has revived its 1920s cushion-shaped watch designs with the new American Classic Cushion Mechanical collection. Available in 30mm and 34mm sizes, these hand-wound mechanical watches feature updated movements and modern conveniences while staying true to their Art Deco heritage. The collection draws inspiration from historical models and has gained recent attention due to its appearance in the movie "Oppenheimer."
- Available in 30mm and 34mm case sizes.
- Features a hand-wound mechanical movement.
- Boasts a 57-hour power reserve.
- Water resistant to 50 meters.
- Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
- Models start at $995 for steel and $1095 for gold PVD.
- Available now.
The 30mm version measures exactly 30x30mm and has a 16mm lug width.
The collection consists of six models across the two case sizes.
The collection is inspired by the Cushion Plain and Cushion Engraved models from 1926.
The designs are from the 1920s, a period not as commonly revisited for reissues as midcentury watches.
The H-42 calibre is based on the ETA 7001 and features a Nivachron balance spring.
The H-42 caliber is Hamilton's branded version of the ETA 7001, noted for its compactness.
The engraved 34mm case option is compared to similar styles found on some Ralph Lauren watches.
The 30mm case is offered with a white dial and Roman numerals, or a beige dial with Arabic numerals, with a PVD gold option for the latter.
