Hamilton Ventura Elvis Anniversary Collection Watches
Lead words: 2010 is Elvis Presley’s 75-year-old birthday. Elvis’ fans all over the world held a variety of activities to remember this rock king. Hamilton also launched “Ventura Elvis’ 75th Anniversary Collection.
In 1961, Elvis who just left the army appeared in the Hollywood film “Blue Hawaii”. In this film he wore a Hamilton Adventure series watch. From then on, Elvis and Hamilton watch forged a profound destiny of love. He not only had several Ventura watches for daily wear, but also collected Ventura watches. He completely became a collector of Ventura watches. Elvis especially loved metal strap watch, for which Hamilton specially designed patent Ventura watch with two-tier comfort steel strap and presented Elvis as a gift.
Elvis was an American musician and actor. He is often referred to as the “King of Rock and Roll”. Presley is regarded as one of the most important figures of 20th-century popular culture. He had a versatile voice and unusually wide success encompassing many genres, including country, pop ballads, gospel, and blues. He is the best-selling solo artist in the history of popular music. Nominated for 14 competitive Grammys, he won three, and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36. He has been inducted into four music halls of fame. To celebrate Elvis’ 75th birthday, Hamilton launched five special models of the iconic Ventura watch. The distinctive, shield-shaped timepiece, worn by Elvis in the 1961 movie, Blue Hawaii, comes in five new interpretations.
Ventura Elvis Anniversary Collection
The Ventura Quartz is a faithful tribute to the original 1957 model, which made watch-making history as the world’s first electrical, battery powered watch. Design detail of the case of the new model mirrors that of its 1950s ancestors and today comes in either silver-colored stainless steel or a yellow gold PVD finish. A black dial is also reminiscent of the 1950s Ventura timepieces, complete with digit markings all culminating in an embossed rounded point like the surrounds of the iconic wall-clocks of the era. These nostalgic looks enclose a modern Swiss quartz movement to ensure precision timekeeping for the 21st century.
The choice of attachment for the Ventura Quartz, with the possibility of a metallic flex bracelet or a bi-color leather strap in gold paired with silver or black, has its own story to tell. The watch originally purchased by Elvis would have had a leather strap and archive material reveals that, at his special wish, the jeweller exchanged this for a metal bracelet to satisfy his celebrity customer.
Ventura XXL Elvis Anniversary Collection
Having started its life as a pioneer, the Hamilton Ventura continues to make a bold statement over half a century later in the form of a limited XXL edition. This special timepiece integrates touches of the unexpected to give its classic inspiration a futuristic and rocky feel. The familiar shield shape of the gunmetal colored case gets a distinctively contemporary look through smoothed surfaces and XXL dimensions. The angular crown is integrated into the case with its pointed tip signalling 3 o’clock. The white or black dial has racy looks with a background effect resembling that of a high-tech sound box. A touch of fiery red stretches from 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock and daringly reappears on the tip of the seconds hand. Celebrating modernity, the case elegantly flows into a stylish, smooth black rubber strap. The limited edition which will only be produced during 2010 will contribute to make the King’s legend alive.
Hamilton was founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. Hamilton watches combine the American spirit with the unrivalled precision of the latest Swiss movements and technologies. Known for its innovative design, Hamilton has a strong foothold in Hollywood, with products appearing in over 350 films. The brand also boasts a strong aeronautical heritage. Hamilton is a member of the Swatch group, the largest watch manufacturer and distributor in the world with 160 production sites in Switzerland.
