Upon its release in 1957, the Hamilton Ventura stunned the watchmaking and design worlds with its innovative electric circuit and bold case shape. Conceived by forward-thinking industrial designer Richard Arbib, the avant-garde Ventura lives on today in a special new, oversized iteration with a dial that illuminates in red. Futuristic and inventive more than a half-century after its release, the Hamilton Ventura is a watch that signaled the future. Its use of an innovative, electric-powered movement combined with a positively science fiction-esque case shape in a timepiece that pushed the boundaries of both horology and design. When Elvis himself wore one in his 1961 film Blue Hawaii, all bets were off — this was the watch of tomorrow!
