Hamilton, the trailblazing watchmaker that introduced the world’s first electric timepiece in 1957, known as the Ventura and famously favored by Elvis Presley, has embraced the spirit of Mid-Century Modern design with a new release. Drawing inspiration from the iconic hit single “Blue Suede Shoes,” the Ventura Collection now boasts six new models that pay homage to the groundbreaking design that defined an era.
Elvis Presley, a devoted fan of the Ventura since its debut, showcased his affinity by amassing a personal collection and even featuring the watch in his musical “Blue Hawaii.” The Ventura became a symbol of innovation and daring individuality, much like the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll himself.
The newly unveiled Ventura Collection draws its inspiration from Presley’s influential hit single, “Blue Suede Shoes,” which marked the beginning of his legendary career. In the same vein, the Ventura watches usher in a new era of watchmaking with their distinct design and innovative features.
The collection encompasses six models, each highlighting a striking gradient blue dial that accentuates the elegant lines of the triangular case. The Ventura is powered by a reliable 3-jewel quartz movement, ensuring precision in timekeeping. The iconic case is available in either stainless steel or PVD-coated yellow gold, offering a choice between classic and luxurious aesthetics. Complementing the case are matching stainless steel or PVD-coated yellow gold flex bracelets, seamlessly blending with the overall design. For a touch of nostalgia, rich Blue Alcantara strap options evoke the famous shoes that Elvis Presley immortalized.
Within the Ventura Collection, two models stand out as Ventura Chronograph Quartz editions. These timepieces are equipped with a precise 23-jewel quartz movement, featuring three subdials measuring seconds, minutes, and hours on the gradient blue dial. The Ventura Chronograph Quartz is exclusively available in a stainless-steel case, accompanied by either a matching stainless steel flex bracelet or a Blue Alcantara strap.
With its roots in history and a nod to the timeless influence of Elvis Presley, the Ventura Collection is a testament to Hamilton’s commitment to innovation and style. Each watch captures the essence of Mid-Century Modern design, making a bold statement for those who appreciate the fusion of iconic music and groundbreaking timekeeping.
