For more than 17 long years, one
of the most popular Hollywood
actors, Harrison Ford, has been
on the board of directors for Conservation
International (CI) and rallied for
environmental protection. Preservation
of the planet is one of the most pressing
issues today.
The high-precision Swiss Automatic
GMT movement in the Khaki
Conservation watches, visible through
the see-through case back, mirrors this
fact. Ford was actively involved in the
design of the watches, which clearly
reflect his love for style, action and adventure.
Hamilton, a member of the Swatch
Group, has been known for innovative
design and watch technology in its 116
years of existence. Being future-oriented
in its approach, it made a financial
commitment to CI, a non-profit
organisation dedicated to protecting
life on earth and to demonstrating that
human societies will thrive when in
balance with nature.
The Khaki Conservation timepieces
have GMT functionality, with
the second time zone selection covering
a range of focus locations for CI
projects, from Colombia to Indonesia.
The classical black dial bears bold
numbers with inner and outer counter
rings adding a touch of edgy dynamism.
Providing meticulous attention
to detail are crafted finishing
touches such as fine cut-out hands and
date windows, or studded and stitched
leather straps. Decorating this ‘window’
is the engraved signature of Harrison
Ford together with the CI logo.
Going a step beyond is the packaging
in corrugated cardboard, which only
adds to their message of preserving resources
by utilizing recycled materials.
