Since its introduction in 1957, the Hamilton Ventura has been a model of inventive design and watchmaking, capturing the spirit of futurism. The renowned timepiece starts on a revolutionary voyage as the Year of the Dragon approaches, with new models featuring a unique and bold skeleton dragon dial design, paying homage to the legendary creature’s prestige and might.
In Eastern culture, the Dragon embodies not only strength and luck but also a resilient enterprising spirit, symbolizing opportunities and success. Over its half-century reign as a futuristic icon, the Hamilton Ventura seamlessly blends aesthetic allure with technical ingenuity.
The Dragon Skeleton, the newest addition to the Ventura bloodline, heralds in a new era of innovation with its dramatic cutaways displaying a dragon’s face oozing power and courage. The dragon’s face elegantly coincides with Ventura’s trademark and avant-garde geometric shield shape, which is positioned at a prominent 90° clockwise angle on the dial.
Available in two captivating versions, the first boasts a rose gold PVD coated case and a black skeleton dial, framing the dragon’s penetrating green eyes. The second model, featuring a black PVD case, showcases a dragon with fiery red eyes. A vibrant red second hand glides across the all-black dragon face, capturing the anticipation of unleashed energy.
The H-10-S movement, which has an amazing 80-hour power reserve, is hidden beneath the appealing appearance. This technical marvel includes a NivachronTM balance spring, which increases resilience to magnetic fields, temperature changes, and shocks.
The sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating ensures optimal visibility, while white Super-LumiNova® coated hour and minute hands make the watch equally suitable for day and night wear. The finishing touch comes in the form of a black rubber strap adorned with a 3D dragon scale pattern, epitomizing the boldness of this timepiece.
The Ventura Dragon Skeleton is a talisman that represents luck and strength, pushing wearers to seize every chance that comes their way. As we welcome the Year of the Dragon, embrace the unusual, enjoy the legendary, and seize the power and grandeur contained in Hamilton Ventura’s newest inventions.
