Best Hamilton Ventura Watches For Men & Women
Unconventional and innovative, the Hamilton Ventura watches are truly in a league of their own.
Ever since the 1800s, Hamilton has been on a journey to acquire perfection in each component of their watches. Knowing that the dial design is the soul of a watch, they worked hard to create a uniquely shaped series of triangular watches. The result is the now-iconic Ventura Collection.
Ventura’s history goes a long way back to 1950’s America. Richard Arbib, an industrial designer, sketched a watch to his liking, without consideration for practicality nor technicality.
He came up with Ventura’s triangular shape that somehow captivated the spirit of ‘freedom’ in that era. Being the first electrical battery-powered watch, its launch was a huge milestone for Hamilton and the watch industry. Together with Elvis Presley’s publicity for this watch, it soon became one of the most sought-after timepieces of all time.
If you’re not yet familiar with the iconic Hamilton Ventura and its innovative and pioneering designs, read on to find out more.
Hamilton Ventura Quartz Unisex
Operating on a quartz movement, this Hamilton Ventura is adored by many due to its striking similarities to the classic piece. Save for its modernised hands and an all-black cow leather strap, the watch reminds us of the original Ventura launched in 1957.
This watch boasts a three-hand H10 movement and a date function. Moreover, its movement is widely known for its pearled design and streamlined surfaces specially designed for pilots’ watches. Add on an 80-hour power reserve and you got yourself an excellent timepiece.

Drawing inspiration from the brand’s original Ventura design, this Hamilton Ventura watch is an upgraded expression of a timeless trend. Its unique dial surface, coated with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, has an entrancing marbled effect that exudes elegance from every angle. The signature dot and line hour indexes and silver-tone hands add a sophisticated appeal to this 24mm watch.
An F03.101 calibre quartz movement powers this feminine watch, which offers 50m water resistance. Meanwhile, a white cow leather strap completes its elegant look.
Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 Auto with Black Dial
Although this Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 Auto has a power reserve of 80 hours, the ‘80’ in this case is a tribute to Elvis Presley on his 80th birthday. In remembrance of Elvis’s ‘rock n roll’ spirit, this watch is bold, daring, and relentless in its demeanour.
This watch’s atypical and eye-catching shape creates an impressionable first look. Its sleek black dial and silver luminous hands create texture and a layering effect.

Other than the automatic movement and scratch-resistant features, this watch boasts a skeletonised dial with luminescent and reflective hour and minute hands. Its caseback is also transparent, enabling one to peer into the fine art behind the H-10 movement. For those who prefer a ‘peppier’ version of the black dial Elvis80, this may well complement your taste.
