Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 Skeleton Dragon

Since its release in 1957, the Hamilton Ventura has been a model of design and watchmaking, demonstrating the extraordinary power of innovation and futurism. As the Year of the Dragon approaches, Hamilton Ventura opens a new chapter in its legend, featuring an unconventional and bold skeleton dragon dial design that celebrates the prestige and strength symbolized by the legendary creature – Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 Skeleton Dragon. 

The Dragon has many beautiful meanings in Eastern culture, in addition to strength and luck; it also represents a strong enterprising spirit, so it is often a symbol of opportunities and success. As an icon of futuristic invention for more than a half-century, the Hamilton Ventura is the perfect combination of esthetic and technical ingenuity.

Today, as the Year of the Dragon approaches, our new Ventura Dragon Skeleton starts a new chapter of the revolutionary story, with an unconventional and bold skeleton dragon face design on the dial, paying tribute to the dragon’s spirit and celebrating good fortune for everyone.

The striking cutaways on the dial reveal a dragon’s face full of power and courage. The dragon’s face is 90° clockwise on the dial, which perfectly fits the Ventura’s iconic and avant-garde, geometric shield shape.

The Hamilton Ventura Dragon Skeleton is available in two impressive versions. The first features a rose gold PVD coated case and black skeleton dial, framing the dragon’s piercing green eyes.  The second model highlights the dragon in black PVD with flaming red eyes. A dramatic red second hand sweeps across the all-black dragon’s face, as if its gathered energy is about to be released.

Under the dial beats the H-10-S movement with an 80-hour power reserve, an equally uncompromising piece of engineering, with a Nivachron™ balance spring for better resistance against magnetic fields, temperature variation and shocks.

The sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating and the white Super-LumiNova® coated hour and minute hands makes the watch fit to wear from day to night, while the black rubber strap with a 3D dragon scale pattern adds the finishing touch to this bold watch.

As a symbol of luck and strength, the Hamilton Ventura Dragon Skeleton will help you push the boundaries of every opportunity.
