The Hamilton Khaki Field Auto is a tried-and-true design meant for everyday wear, no matter the circumstance. Born from Hamilton’s history of manufacturing military field watches, this version takes the format into a slightly more dressed-up territory by mixing a textured dial in with a beautifully finished cased. Add in the 80-hour movement, and you have an incredibly versatile design you can wear to the office, the beach, on a hike, etc.
The case in either 38 or 42mm is a classic design that should be comfortable on any wrist, all day long. Featuring a brushed mid-case and polished bezel, it’s surprisingly elegant for a watch with military roots. The dial speaks to classic field designs with bold numerals, 12 and 24-hour tracks, as well as a radial minutes/seconds track around its perimeter. In other words, you can read it at a glance. A date at three adds some convenience as well.
Inside of the Khaki Field Auto, you’ll find Hamilton’s impressive H-10 Swiss-made automatic movement. With an impressive 80-hour power reserve, it also features an anti-magnetic Nivachron hairspring, 25-jewels, date, hacking seconds, and a frequency of 21,600bph. This is a reliable movement with a great power reserve.
