Do you know what Base Jumping is? It is an extreme sport that consists of jumping into the void from buildings, towers, bridges or natural reliefs, and landing by means of a parachute. This is the inspiration behind the very sporty Hamilton Khaki Base Jump, available in both time-only (ETA 2824-2 automatic movement) and chronograph (ETA-Valjoux 7750 automatic movement) versions and with a more than generous case (50 millimetres in diameter) in titanium and black or bronze finish with matching dials.
A very special feature of the Khaki BASE Jump Auto Chrono is the chronograph function that can be activated via the rotating bezel. A rotating bezel is also integrated in the Khaki BASE Jump Automatic version but, in this case, for an original bi-directional countdown. Both watches use the typeface commonly used for 'confidential information' files, giving them a dynamic and sporty look. The chronograph crown is positioned on the left side of the watch.
