The Hamilton Khaki Field is Hamilton's field watch, descended from the watches the brand supplied to the American military in the twentieth century. It keeps the military design: a clear, high-contrast dial, Arabic numerals and a simple steel or titanium case on leather, textile or a bracelet. You can choose the hand-wound Khaki Field Mechanical or the Khaki Field Auto, from 38 to 42 mm. Prices run from about $820 to $2,720 CAD, and La Maison Monaco is an authorized Hamilton dealer in Canada.
The Khaki Field Mechanical is the purist's choice: hand-wound, slim and the most affordable, offered in 38 and 42 mm and in bronze. The Khaki Field Auto is the everyday automatic, with versions in steel and titanium and a chronograph. The Khaki Field Murph comes from the watch Hamilton made for the film Interstellar, and the Expedition and King add a more adventurous or more dressy take on the same field design. For most wrists, 38 mm reads closest to the original military watches, and 42 mm gives a bolder look.
What movement is in the Khaki Field?
Most Khaki Field models use Hamilton's exclusive Swiss-made calibres with about 80 hours of power reserve, so the watch keeps running from Friday evening to Monday morning off the wrist. The Mechanical uses a hand-wound movement you wind every few days; the Auto models wind themselves as you wear them. Both have a sapphire crystal and are built for daily wear.
