Description
The story
The Ventura Collection is an elegant tribute to Elvis Presley and his timeless hit “Blue Suede Shoes,” reimagining the Ventura, the world’s first electric watch that debuted in 1957. This Mid-Century Modern masterpiece, beloved by Presley and featured in his film “Blue Hawaii,” is revived in six new models, capturing the essence of the iconic song. Each model showcases a gradient blue dial, symbolizing the vibrancy of Presley’s impact on music and style.
In a blend of tradition and innovation, the watches are equipped with nickeled hands and a reliable 3-jewel quartz movement, encased in either stainless steel or PVD-coated yellow gold. The collection also includes two Ventura Chronograph Quartz models, with a 23-jewel movement and subdials for added functionality, exclusively available with a stainless-steel case.
The design pays particular attention to detail, with matching bracelets and a Blue Alcantara strap option that serves as a stylish nod to the eponymous blue suede shoes. The collection not only honors Presley’s daring individuality but also Hamilton’s legacy of watchmaking innovation, offering a timepiece that’s both a fashion statement and a piece of history.
