They certainly are.

The first ever electric watch I believe...

Here's mine



And here's the one from MIB II (or at least the one which Hamilton rushed out to promote it) : -

The original Ventura was the World's first electric watch and Hamilton themselves were said to be quite pioneering in their early days in the U.S., I think that they were true manufacturers in the sense that they made the entire watch, including movements. During WWII pretty much all of their production was for the Forces and original issued watches can be quite sought after They're part of Swatch now, just like many others...

Never been brave enough to splash my own money on a Ventura but have tried just about every varient on, they're very unique in style.
