Launched in 1957, the original Ventura made watchmaking history as the world's first battery-powered electric watch. With its bold and distinctive design, the model quickly became an icon and a collector's item. The latest incarnation of the Ventura is a faithful homage to the original and reflects the pioneering celebration of mid-century modern shield-shaped design. The Hamilton Ventura Quartz H24411732 men's watch offers a novel design that makes it a suitable addition to a shirt or suit. Its timelessness, however, makes it an ideal accessory for every day. The detailed dial is protected by a mineral glass. The watch case is made of stainless steel and the watch stays on the hand thanks to a well-crafted black leather strap with a silver butterfly clasp. The watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement ETA F05.111. The steel shield-shaped case, designed by Richard Arbib for Hamilton in 1957, is the unmistakable and main feature. The rich black dial is contrasted by the central electro-curve running between the dot indices 3 and 9. The water resistance of the watch is 50 m (5 ATM), so it can handle basic contact with water, such as rain or a shower. Fans of the Men in Black movies will know that the Hamilton Ventura model has played a "supporting role" in three of the four films (Men in Black I (1997), III (2012) and IV (2019)), so you can see the watch on the wrists of the three main agents J, K and M.
