Hamilton GG-W-113
A mil-watch staple, the GG-W-133 was one of Jon?s first serious watch purchases. The GG-W-133 does not feature “H3” or the radioactive symbol on the dial, a detail specified because this watch was designed for pilots who wanted the cleanest possible dial. Though it doesn?t get too much wrist time these days (the watch is a bit small for Jon’s wrist), he has no plans to sell it.
