According to the link you posted, the watch pictured above is 38mm. The one ABTW gave away was 42mm.

I would have to get the 46mm version.
Posted by: herculodge | November 11, 2014 at 07:58 PM
Wow---that watch in the photo looks considerably larger than 38MM. If that's a 38MM watch, it plays bigger than any other watch I've seen under 42MM.

Angelo,
The poster of the picture said, "My wrists are 6" (15.25cm) and I think the 38mm Hamilton is a perfect size. It wears big for its size, so you might find it a little large."
I think it's the small wrist size that makes the watch look bigger.

I came across a good looking, inexpensive Citizen Eco-Drive aviator watch on Amazon (model AW1361-10H). This one has a 45mm diameter. The only flaw I see from reading the reviews is that only the hands are lumed, not the markers. (On the three Eco-Drives I currently own, the markers are lumed.)

Amazon actually had it on sale for under $96 for a couple of days recently, then it went back up to $138.75.
In addition to the brown version, there is a black version (model AW1361-01E).
These aren't as nice as the Hamilton Khaki pilot watches, but they look good for the money.

My favorite Hamilton is this one:

The black dial version. I'm a sucker for "duo chronos" and hope to get one at some point.

I worked at an advertising specialty agency for 12 years (promotional products, awards, recognition gifts, etc.). Hamilton was one of our suppliers. Really nice clocks (beautiful carved/stained wooden cabinets----nice finishes on those clocks and on the watches too). I always thought some employee getting a top end Hamilton watch for a work anniversary was a lucky person. Bel Air (Swiss or USA made from Swiss components) has a similar program. I have a couple Bel Air watches that I like a lot. They are very accurate and wear extremely well---comfortable too, even the heavier ones.
