Introducing The Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz
The Hamilton Khaki Field Watch is a classic timepiece featuring a military-inspired design that seamlessly blends vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. Now equipped with a quartz movement, it evokes the “G.S.” (General Service) design from the 1960s, originally crafted for non-military personnel. This updated model caters to a broader audience by offering a more accessible price point while maintaining its timeless appeal.
This Hamilton field watch features a Swiss quartz movement, which is known for its reliability, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, making it a practical choice for everyday wear. The case is made from stainless steel with a sand-blasted finish, giving the watch a rugged and utilitarian look. It is available in two sizes: a larger version that measures 38mm in diameter and 8.30mm thick, and a smaller version that measures 33mm in diameter and 7.55mm thick. The round case design includes a smooth bezel and a large fluted crown positioned at 3 o’clock for easy handling, complemented by a sapphire crystal known for its scratch-resistant properties. The watch also features a solid case back for additional protection and is water-resistant up to 50 meters, making it suitable for everyday activities, including light swimming.
The watch is available in three different dial colours: black, white, and blue. The black dial comes in two variants: one with green Super-LumiNova (SLN) accents and hands, and another with old Radium SLN in beige tones for a vintage look. The white dial is paired with old Radium SLN in beige tones, offering a classic appearance, while the blue dial variant features white SLN for a modern contrast. Each dial is designed with large Arabic numerals for easy readability, a triangle marker at 12 o’clock that is a signature feature in military-style watches, and three central hands, including a lollipop seconds hand that adds a playful touch. The dial also includes a railway minute track around the edge, enhancing precision in time reading. The brand’s inscriptions and retro logo are positioned at noon, and the word “Khaki” replaces the traditional “G.S.” at the 6 o’clock position, aligning with the watch’s field design inspiration.
The watch comes with a NATO-type textile strap with leather inserts, which adds to its rugged, military-inspired aesthetic. The strap is green for the white and black versions with the old Radium SLN and matches the tone of the dial for the remaining variants. Priced at CHF 375, this watch is a competitively priced option for those looking for a quality field watch that combines classic design with modern features.
Overall, the Hamilton field watch, with its new quartz variant, continues the brand’s tradition of creating durable and versatile timepieces with a strong design heritage. The introduction of a quartz movement makes it more accessible without sacrificing the classic aesthetics and practical features that fans of the brand appreciate. This watch is an appealing option for both enthusiasts of military-inspired watches and those seeking a reliable, everyday wristwatch.
