Some of these are just meant to be wild and special.

The watch that inspired this limited edition watch collection was the Hamilton 6BB “G.S” - a discreet, but tough field watch issued to the British military in the 1970s. These watches were specially compensated for heat and humidity - denoted on their casebacks by a simple engraving: “TROPICALIZED”.

So we packed our bags and flew to the pacific coast of Mexico where we planned to tap into the watches’ equatorial, 007-esque origin story. We shot the campaign over the course of the week and were lucky to have been surrounded by a talented, welcoming and like-minded group of friends throughout.

We had a lot of fun creating this one. And we think it comes through in the piece.
