My HMT watches

[munno]

nice find, Hari. All Roman's (Quartz and Auto) seem to be very well finished and designed.

HMT Roman with E/L backlight:

A mee-too watch released by HMT as an answer to the Timex Indiglo which was quite a rage in India about 10yrs ago. Powered by the Miyota 6N10 movement with E/L faceplate.









A grainy shot of the E/L backlight at work. The dial is actually transparent and is screen printed.

Hi Naren,

Welcome back! Yeah, the Roman range is quite well made and has a very high quality strong Gold plating: 5microns. I will email you with the info about how much I paid for these watches.

Best,

HMT Vijay NL:

Vijay is Victory in Hindi. This is the NL (Non luminous) variant. This watch wears very well on the wrist. The stock configuration is with a steel bracelet, I changed it out to a 18mm "RoboBand". I love its steel dial and stuck indices.









Cheers!

1987 made watch still looks good. Good find.

HMT Priya:

Priya is "beloved" in Hindi. Somewhat hard to find model now. Found these in an old forgotten watch store, in stock livery. This is the same strap that was stock on the Sonas of yore.



















Cheers!

I have this same Vijay and alternate between a Timex leather strap and the metal bracelet it came with.

Hi Matt, Yes I remember your picture of the Vijay that you bought from Madras. It is a nice little watch, keeps pretty good time. The stock bracelets are hair pullers for me, I bought a few mesh straps, I plan to put them on the Vijay and a few others.

Regards,
Hari

Had the good fortune of being able to acquire a few discontinued HMT models, I will be documenting them here in the coming days...

HMT Kohinoor: Blue Dial

Named after the famous Kohinoor diamond. Kohinoor is still being produced by HMT in white, black, grey, steel, yellow, brown and matte fade blue dials but the Electric blue dial was made for a very short while.
