Beautiful video, really outstanding photography and narration. I am envious of how you convey so much information so concisely. May I ask, what was that lovely snowy landscape on the water? Nice to see CF straps too, they work extremely well with that Hammy. As for the negatives, yeh I agree there, imagine if they had lumed the numerals nice a thick, OMG that would be amazing. Keep up the good work. Cheers, T. P.S. Thank you for the shout out!
Thank you for the support TGV and that footage was shot last year in Big Bear Lake (here in Southern California). If you ever get the chance to go, I recommend it 👍🏼. Take care my friend, Miguel
So it is definitely waterproof? Just picked up a second hand nearly new for just over €500 amd just jump to the conclusion a watch that retails new for over €800 would definitely be water proof🤷♂️
@terrysadlier8456 When they are new, you can for sure jump in the pool no problem. However when you pick them up preowned, I would recommend you take it to a watch repair shop so they can check the water resistance 👍🏼
For me, I rarely immediately like a watch right out of the box. But after a week or two I’m completely happy and have them worked into the ‘rotation’. Hamilton makes a beautiful watch and my plan is for a day-date version.
Good points made, I absolutely love mine, but then again field watches are my favourite style of watch. The lack of AR is a bit annoying at the water resistance needed to be better, but other than that. It lives up to the hype in my eyes.
Awesome visuals as always!! 👌 I've often thought about picking one of these up but whenever I've gone to try one I kind of feel the same way that you used to so alas not pulled the trigger yet maybe this video will give me the nudge that I want/need....
Adrian thank you 🙏 so much for watching and you can’t go wrong with this one. At the end of the day if you don’t like it, you can sell it and pretty much get your money back. Take care my friend! ❤️
I love this watch! Thanks for the video! I had the brown one and loved it! I sold it to fund another watch and I quickly regretted it! Now I may buy the white dial! Cheers!
The watch my dad wore in WWII when he fought with the 29th ID in an amphibious invasion of some consequence was a Hamilton of only 17 jewels, 32mm in width, non-hacking, and only somewhat water resistant. The strap wasn’t a seatbelt NATO either-it was an OD canvas strap. It withstood the violence of combat. And it still runs after nearly 80 years. The invasion was Operation Neptune/Overlord. I would not worry too much about specifications. Most of us baby our watches. Few of us rely on our watches for our lives.
Outstanding review. You did a great job summarizing the beauty and simplicity of this piece. I need to add one to my collection! The TGV video on the history of Hamilton is just remarkable as well. Bravo.
You and I see eye to eye on this piece. For under 500 where will you find a Swiss automatic with such heritage and quality? Lume and AR coating is lacking in all of Hamilton watches including those over a grand price point.
I do feel like almost every Hamilton lacks in the lume department, which is a bummer. I like the field watch design language of this one for sure! Nice vid bro, really well done! 😎🍻👍
I’m truly shocked at how many people appear to have zero idea how deep 50m is 😮 Do you folk realise that an average swimming pool is only 3m deep ? Where are you all going that this watch would be in danger 🤷🏼♂️
I don't care about WR, Lume or AR... but those long lugs and the gap it shows when you use a leather strap. Ghasly! But in a nato it looks sweet! I am buying one.
Out of the two biggest cons (lack of AR coating and 50m WR) the AR lack of coating doesn't bother me, however I wish it came with with more than 50m of WR so I could comfortably swim with it. The WR is enough for its purpose though, if I'm trudging through the bush on a long hike and fall in a river, or it starts raining I know it will be fine.
lol dude. It’s a reissue of a military watch that was used in world wars. If you wanted flashy, then why in the hell would you purchase this watch. Also, 50 M is more than most of us will ever need! That’s 164 ft under water! The heritage and the simplicity of this watch, is why we all love it! Not to mention the quality of components and the butter smooth winding (which is second to none).
Hi to everyone!! I’m in love with this watch and it’s history and heritage and I’m thinking of getting one but I’m really skeptical when it comes to its crown…I read that it’s really easy to break it while winding it…like because of the fact that they extended their battery to 80 hours this has made the needle inside way smaller hence easier to break it…what do you think? Does this watch comes with the durability that you would expect from a field watch? Thank you all in advance!!
Thank you for watching and I personally never had that issue, I also know a lot of people that own this watch and that was never an issue. Best of luck to you 👍🏼

Great video review, I really enjoyed your take on the Hamilton Khaki field mechanical. However, I'm just curious to know your wrist size, this 38 mm on wrist does seem to wear rather large for its size, I'm curious to know your thoughts - thanks !
@@SoCalWatchReviews Thanks for the positive feedback, this gives me a much better idea of how well the 38 mm version will actually wear on my own wrist, as I believe the 42 mm version is just way too large for me. Great content - thanks again !
Thank you for watching and you’re a baller 👍🏼 I also prefer the black dial version, but to be fair I’ve never seen the white dial in the metal. Take care my friend.
Very nice video my friend , I just discovered your channel after listening the podcast you made with Fernando. I have been listening your podcasts when driving, I really liked them specially the one you made with just one more watch. It would be nice if you made more with more Mexican and Latin channels. Kind regards
Thank you 🙏 so much for the support and I wish I could collab with more Hispanic collectors, unfortunately most of them don’t feel comfortable enough coming on the podcast and speaking English. By the way this is my Spanish channel in case you’re interested in checking it out! m.ua-cam.com/channels/A72WWAAHIPKjNAcjvPfJXA.html
This watch would be great, if there's no one huge mistake: these lugs drilled so far from a case, that every two-piece strap looks goofy when you wear the watch. And even with nato straps it looks disbalanced.. This thing really bugs me, especially realizing that Hamilton ruined such beautiful case with such weird decision
I felt the same! Really wanted to wear some killer straps with this one but, I swear. You could park the Titanic in those gaps 🤮. Plus I felt it was a little thin too. Made for natos 100% .....trouble is I hate nato straps.
I've watched dozens of reviews of this watch and you are the first person to simply say it needs to be wound approximately 40 times from a dead stop. Thank you very much.
I'm born raised in Hawaii, surf/fishing/DIVING... 50meters??? When you go snorkeling you'll go at the MOST 10m and thats only if you've diving all your life, if you're not snorkeling less than 5m hell less then 3. If you've singed up for a scuba adventure? Well OF COURSE you'll use a dive watch, 'oh i'm going scuba diving today think i'll use my Hamilton rather than my Citizen' SAID NO ONE EVER. Only non-watermen think 50m is weak.
@@lalaboiz I love Hawaii ❤️ 🌸 and you bring up a fair point, but the water resistance and other specs are just nice to have, you know? Thank you 🙏 for the support 🤙
I ordered a khaki mechanical, when i received it i was immediately disappointed by it. The bead blasting is strangely rough almost a pitted finish and you have brushing on random places like the case back and clasp. The whole bracelet felt terrible i don't get why seiko gets flack but this doesn't, i have never had a seiko with this bad of a bracelet even at half the price. I could live with all that but after owning it for a day it already ran 8 seconds fast. I know you shouldn't get a mechanical watch for accuracy but when you spend this much on it you expect it to be better than a cheap seiko, which it wasn't as my past cheap seiko's where all better. This watch had no appeal to me at all so i returned it after a day, something i never done before. Every watch i ever owned i kept for at least a year before selling.
mate, tbh, it is weird that you are disappointed about the dial. I mean, you saw videos on the internet and then you bought it. You gotta knew about the dial cuz it is a visible part
@@ozziejim8472 When it comes to water resistance in the watch world is not about the actual usage of the watch in that particular setting. It’s more about knowing that my watch has the spec to go a certain depth. If you can buy a car that has a top speed of 150MPH or the same car for the same price that can go up to 200MPH. I guarantee 10/10 times you and I will pick the faster car. Are we going to drive that fast? Heck no, but it’s cool knowing your car (watch) has those specs 👍🏼
6-$700? are you kidding??? I've had 2 and both broke on winding. Nope never again. And no I didnt overwind them they broke halfway through the wind up.
Yeah I fell for it too, same thing happened to mine and the replacement. I think they tried to make a solid product, realized they were duds and sold them cheap to wholesalers who paid a bunch of you tube shills to market it.
That’s good to hear. I am a fan. The extension can cause the watch to open if the metal is not bent around enough to hold. I found that annoying and had to pry it to get a tighter fit. I agree too, I like diver’s and the utilitarian case and busy printed dial had/ has me contemplating selling, but it’s still here. Good point about needing a long stretch with the watch to go through all the stages. My father’s middle name is also Hamilton so I feel I need a Hamilton in the collection. First and only Hamilton watch I can foresee.
@@dogsarebetterproductions honestly these watches are keepers and I’m happy to hear that this has a connection to your dad in a way👍🏼 thank you again for the support!
What's the point on having a 100 meters water depth resistance for a field watch? That's not an argument. 99% of the populations will never dive more than 4 meters in their life time. 99,999% will definitly never go over 50m, and if they do... guess what, they will use a DIVE watch. If you just need to go for a swim and you can do that just fine. It's one of those thing you say you have but you will never use. Like those ultra dive watches... 600 m. Do anyone knows anyone who has been on a dive that deep. No because no one ever passes 150m on regular industrial saturated diving, and if you go more you can, but I think the record is still on 500 something meters. It's just impossible. So what's the point. To drop the watch on the middle of the ocean and pick it up with an ROV an be happy that it's still working?
@@SoCalWatchReviews So it's the ROV option! Hehe. You know that maybe many of the 200 meter watches would probably have issues if they were there for long. Anyway nice video and a really nice edition! Congratulations.
I've never understood why these are so popular. Ridiculously long lugs, with crappy AR coating and horrible lume. Not to mention the most boring dial and an ugly dull finishing on the case. 🤢🤮
Thank you for the support and I think it’s honestly social media that hyped these watches so much. They’re great for what they are and have tons of history, but you already know how I feel.

Some of y'all kill me complaining about 50m water resistance for a everyday watch. God forbid it gets splashed while you are washing your hands.

It's just a UA-cam stereotype. All UA-camrs have about the same text, often having no idea what a military or diver watch really means.

For me personally is not about actually testing the functionality, it’s more about knowing the watch is capable of doing so. Thank you for watching.
@@SoCalWatchReviews So it's the ROV option! Hehe. You know that maybe many of the 200 meter watches would probably have issues if they were there for long. Anyway nice video and a really nice edition! Congratulations.
@@84Justino Thanks man!
don't worry...i bet the poor watch absolutely hated YOU. Is your shower or bathtub 100 meters deep?
😂 👏
$6-700 range? 😂 Definitely not.
@@black79montecarlo123 😂
totally DISAGREE!
👍🏼
I've never understood why these are so popular. Ridiculously long lugs, with crappy AR coating and horrible lume. Not to mention the most boring dial and an ugly dull finishing on the case. 🤢🤮
Thank you for the support and I think it’s honestly social media that hyped these watches so much. They’re great for what they are and have tons of history, but you already know how I feel.
I still hate it, it's so unreliable
@@djrar 👍🏼
yeah your favorite watch is the kind of too many stuffs on it, it makes you look like a Power Ranger or some sh!t.
Hell yeah, you know it 👍🏼
