From the silver screen to the gaming universe, Hamilton continues to redefine precision storytelling — and this time, the iconic watchmaker is stepping into the world of adult animation. The brand’s legacy of cinematic craftsmanship expands with Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, the first-ever adaptation of Ubisoft’s legendary stealth-action franchise, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell.
Premiering globally on Netflix on October 14, 2025, the series introduces fans to a dark and high-stakes animated thriller, produced by Ubisoft in collaboration with John Wick creator Derek Kolstad, animation studio Sun Creature, and Fost. The voice cast includes Liev Schreiber (The French Dispatch) and Kirby Howell-Baptiste (Killing Eve).
Hamilton Timepieces Take Centre Stage
Hamilton’s presence in Splinter Cell: Deathwatch goes far beyond product placement. Each watch plays a vital role in shaping the story’s tension, precision, and emotional depth.
Rising operative Zinnia McKenna wears the Ventura Quartz during a pulse-pounding sequence — a nod to innovation and rebellion. Meanwhile, legendary agent Sam Fisher is defined by two Hamilton classics: the Khaki Field Expedition, built for durability and discretion, and the Khaki Navy Frogman, a rugged companion for any field operative.
The Khaki Aviation X-Wind Sandstorm also becomes central to the plot — holding a hidden secret capable of shifting the geopolitical balance.
A Legacy of Storytelling Across Mediums
For Hamilton, storytelling is second nature. The brand has left its mark on blockbuster films such as Interstellar and Tenet, and continues to appear in the gaming world through titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Death Stranding 2.
By expanding into adult animation — one of entertainment’s fastest-growing genres — Hamilton reinforces its role as a creative collaborator across media. Each timepiece doesn’t just tell time; it tells a story.
“Our goal has always been to fuse precision watchmaking with the craft of storytelling,” said a Hamilton spokesperson. “With Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, we’re proud to help bring another world to life.”
The Splinter Cell Universe Expands
Originally debuting in 2002, Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell remains a benchmark in stealth-action gaming. The series follows Sam Fisher, an elite NSA operative navigating high-stakes espionage, information warfare, and prototype technology. The franchise has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, cementing its place among the most influential gaming series of all time.
Fans can revisit the franchise’s history via Ubisoft’s official website, while Splinter Cell: Deathwatch brings a fresh perspective to Fisher’s world — blending espionage, action, and cinematic animation.
Hamilton: The Watchmaker of Filmmakers
Founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1892, Hamilton has a long-standing history of innovation — from timing the first railroads to designing the world’s first electric watch in 1957. Known as “the watchmaker of filmmakers”, Hamilton timepieces have appeared in over 500 films and series, blending American spirit with Swiss precision.
