It's refreshing to see brands starting to produce watches for real human anotomy instead of nfl players or wrestlers sizes, and Teddy I think you have your share in this revolution.
@@JL02141912 couldn't agree more. Average healthy men should usually have 7 inch + wrists. I am absolutely tired of seeing grown men crying to reduce watches to 36 - 39mm, which is quite small and feminine. 41 - 42mm is a sweet spot. 40mm as well if the lug to lug is 45mm+
My biggest and only gripe about Hamilton is the massively long lugs on almost all their watches. Lugs that long make a watch unwearable for my 6in wrist. I’m excited they made the lugs compact on this one because the Murph has been my favorite Hamilton style wise for awhile
@@Gumby56 No kidding! I picked up a 36mm Ahoi and the lugs were still so long that it threatened to be too big. Luckily it fits perfectly, but those lugs...
Funny. I just watched a video where the guy commented how long the lugs were on this. I was dude, you need to start bulking up if these lugs are too long for your wrist
Like many of us, I’ve been hoping and pleading with Hamilton to make this for some time now, and I honestly can’t believe it happened. Every time they posted shots of the Murph on social media, the calls for a 38mm version were overwhelming, with good reason: this has a great chance to be more than a niche film tie-in. This could possibly be the Hamilton equivalent of an Explorer or Aqua Terra, even more so than the HKFM or Auto. It’s perfect blend of uniqueness, Hamilton-specific design, story/heritage, and versatility. I really hope this will become a big seller for them, and I hope to own one soon.
Sometimes you find a model, and you can't explain why, you just love it. I have it with the murph. Its the perfect match between dress and field because its very easy to read. Nothing but hours, minutes and seconds, the hands are ultra pointy and classy. And you can wear it with anything. I would just have used a shard shape into the seconds hand, to make it pop but its a personal choice. It's a bit too expensive for me but someday... I swear I'll have it. Best field watch with cathedral hands ever. As usual, good video Teddy ! Thanks for entertaining !
Amazing watch! I had mine for 2 weeks now. I have considered the 42mm before but was a bit too big for me, so this one I purchased at the moment I saw it. I can not stop looking at it, even watching interstellar again with this watch on my wrist was really cool for me. Best reviews like always, Bravo Teddy!
Yes!! Been waiting for this video. The Murph was my favorite Hamilton for years and it broke my heart that I couldn’t wear it with my 6” wrists. I ordered the 38mm the day it launched and I LOVE it. It fits perfectly. The strap is meh, but I’m getting a replacement from Strap Mill Canada.
I bought the 42 without realizing they had issued it in 38. I think given that I relate the watch to a father giving it to his daughter the larger size makes more sense but it is a big watch. I'm probably going to need to add a hole to the strap so it doesn't flip around on my 6.5 inch wrist. I do value the connection to the movie so the Morse Code on the seconds hand is a must. My dad as a WWII vet knew Morse Code so I like that about the original watch.
@@morgennichols9550 I do love it and am glad it's in my collection. I confess to wearing my smartwatch daily so I haven't worn any of my other watches lately.
I am shocked by how well it is finished even under your macro shot, considering it cost less than USD1000. I mean, even Rolex watches has dust and lint and rough finish on their dials and markers. I am very happy with my 38mm Murph, but now even more impressed! And Teddy, the 42mm with morse mode = Movie tribute watch. This 38mm without the morse code makes it THE real watch on the movie where it actually does not have the morse code motif, granted, 42mm reduced to 38mm. And the 42mm case is chosen for better close up shots and to fit the mechanism that is in charge of moving the hands for the morse code scene. While 42mm is the size of the movie prop watch, 38mm would be far more realistic to be worn by Murphy.
I will be picking one of these up in the spring. Last year I opted to get the Seiko Alpinist instead. I do love the Alpinist, it has a tremendous amount of character, is very fun and adventurous. The Murph is a little more versatile, works better with dressier occasions.
I’m a big guy at 6’4”, with 8.25” wrists; anything smaller than 40mm looks dinky on me, and a 42mm Khaki looks smaller on me than the 38 does on Teddy’s wrist. So the 38mm Murph is not the watch for me… but I’m glad they made it. It’s a cool watch, and there should be sizes available to fit as many people as possible. I’ve been lucky that lots of great watches are available in larger sizes that fit me well; it’s about time more were offered for the slimmer-wristed.
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on AMZWATCH 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
I received mine a few days ago. I replaced the OEM strap within about 30 seconds with a more rugged looking, chocolate Horween leather strap. Loving it.
it never ceases to amaze me how little regard the modern watch enthusiast has for issued straps. So much thought goes into engineering something special, from all the specs, the color choices, finish...and yes, the strap is designed to pay the ultimate compliment to the watch case. It's your money and your taste, do as you please. But immediately changing out the strap is like going to a 5-star world renowned restaurant, ordering a signature dish and dumping a bottle of ketchup on it.
The morse code, I think makes it less accurate to the movie since the watch in the movie doesn't have that. And in my opinion, I think the 42mm case size of the original prop watch was more so because of it's utility in the filmmaking process (a bigger dial is easier to film, and a bigger case would accomodate that unique mechanism for the story) rather than a design choice of being just a watch. In-universe, the watch would probably be a 38mm. So the 42mm is the recreation of the prop watch which acknowledges itself as based on a prop, while the 38mm is probably a real life recreation of the watch in-story.
I watched this video a while ago and after some research I decided I wanted the Murph. Finally found it in Edimburgh early this month. I tried the 42 mm just in case, my wrist is average to large, but the 38 mm wears way better. Readability is the key characteristic for me in a watch and this one does a great job, while being elegant. I cannot say I am a collector, but I like having a few good watches. Thank you very much!
Thanks, Teddy for having featured this watch. I am located in Europe, which is why I rather ordered it from a domestic online store... in the US, I would have ordered from you. I am really looking forward to this watch. I think the 42mm is not too big, however the design makes the bigger brother look really huge.
I LOVE Hamilton field watches. They're simple, rugged, and just plain cool. The problem is I have an absurdly tiny wrist (5 1/2 inches), so I can't wear 90% of the watches out there. I love everything about this watch, the face, the hands, the simplicity of the whole thing. Everything. So when I saw the lug to lug was actually smaller than their field watches, which I can't wear, I was ecstatic. I just bought the Marathon MSAR 2 weeks ago and wasn't planning on buying another more expensive watch for a long time, but I have been working lots of overtime just to get this watch. In a week or 2, it will be mine. On another note, I love all your videos, Teddy. You can clearly tell you love watches, ALL watches, and you're never, ever condescending towards anyone who has a different interest than you. You are my go-to watch guy, and I appreciate everything you do for us.
Marathon was my first Swiss watch! I got the Marathon TSAR to wear as an everyday watch back in 2020 and is proudly sitting on my wrist as we speak! I have since then owned several omega’s, a Tissot, and soon this Hamilton Khaki Murph! good luck on the future collecting!
My daily watch. I don’t care what it goes with or doesn’t. If I can wear it, I’m wearing it. Needless to say I love it! Haven’t had to wind it for over a month, adjusted it only once since setting up, banged it against stuff with no scratches/scuffs so far. The only thing I didn’t like was the stiff squeaky strap, but it has broken in after wearing it daily for a month
Perfect review as always Teddy. I have this watch and it’s fantastic. Point of note the strap is terrible but I put it on a high quality aftermarket strap and this has made this a truly great watch
@@jgo8305 curious if this works out for you. Which vaer model bracelet did you order? Did you measure the end links or just eyeball it. Would love to have mine on a bracelet.
Thanks for finally reviewing this eagerly sought after watch from Hamilton, I can't wait to receive mine, I think this is the first time that a watch brand has listened to its customers & reacted accordingly.
It's interesting that the biggest complaint about the smaller watch is the absence of the Morse code; my biggest beef with the "original" is that it _did_ have the Morse code. As far as I'm aware, the one in the movie didn't have it, so a replica shouldn't either.
I tend to agree . . . the absence of the morse code on the 38mm is a real plus for me as, while I thought the movie was great, the connection isn't why I'd buy the watch. I don't mind the price but too much reflection in the crystal and a boring strap are other negatives.
Had this watch for a few months now. I love it. I may love it even more when it's on a nato, mainly because i dont want the leather to get wet.. Either way, it's perfect for an everyday watch.
I think this watch is absolutely perfect for what it is. Beautiful, reputable, classic, and also a pretty perfect price. The only thing that stands out which isn't a big deal is the crown, wish it were a tiny bit smaller but can easily be overlooked.
I own the 42mm and one point I'd like to make is that as appealing as all these press and marketing shots are, you will NEVER see the dial *as depicted* in any of these shots. The crystal (and bezel) are SO reflective, that regardless of the position you hold the watch (try as you may) you will never see the dial without the ever present GLARE that never goes away. Yes, you can read the dial, no, it will never appear as black as it does in the shots shown in this video. It's a common problem in marketing shots (most brands are just as guilty) but in this watch it's just more noticeable--meaning you can't ignore it! Otherwise, it's an amazing watch that I actually paid just under $700 for--in a damn mall!
Excellent video presentation. Best watch content anywhere. We all have different wrist sizes and a standard size does not fit us all. I have to give kudos to Hamilton who listens to customers ideas. It is a beautiful design and now more appealing to customers that have a problem with a larger diameter. Hamilton quality, long history of craftmanship. What you get for the price is a bargain.
Got this watch last week and it's a beaut. Wish there was a little more AR coating and a screw down crown, but that's just me nitpicking. Best $900 I've spent in a while.
I’ve had mine for nearly four months. Love it. Have to sell my Seiko alpinist bc the murph made it redundant. The only cons so far are the weak lume, the dial (looks a little cheaper in person, and the stiffness of the strap. The strap is actually really good looking, but it’s taking forever to break in. Silver lining is that the stiffness of the strap motivates me to wear this more in hopes of breaking it in lol. As for the dial, I would have loved a lacquered black. I think it would have made the whole dial “pop.” Love it though. For $700, I couldn’t have asked for more.
Por fin!! 38mm👏🏽👏🏽 tengo el de 42mm y me gusta pero este de 38mm siento que las proporciones son mejores para mi muñeca, me hubiese gustado que la corona fuera atornillada, sé que es resistente a 100m pero cuando la corona es atornillada te da la sensación de mayor seguridad Saludos ✌🏽
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the AMZWATCH's watches are the most intriguing.
The movie Interstellar is what got me into Hamilton and I love all three of them. I wear my Hamilton’s more because of how comfortable they are. Teddy you have me looking again job well done.
Agree! I've been lucky enough to acquire a Rolex 16710 before prices went crazy..that should be an exit watch,right? I love it and I still wear it in special occasions, but since I own a KFA 38mm I feel I can sell all my watches
@@pippo702 I’ve really starting to look at different brands of quality watches like Grand Seiko. I like the Tag Heuer Carrera Automatic Chronograph with the brown leather!
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the AMZWATCH, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
Really great watch, irrespective of the Interstellar tie in. Due to the 24hr deletion, it wears big for a 38 - real presence; but it fits small, due to the short lugs. So, win win... Looks very classy too, not convinced it's worth nearly double a standard khaki, but a real winner and proof Longines should have gone 38 for the Spirit.
This is such a brilliant add to the Hamilton family. As a huge Interstellar fan and a 7.25 wrist this feels perfect. The more we code though neat hidden on the original it was screen accurate and the word STAY had greater impact vs EUREKA. This is the best look and feel for those that love film and watch making.
Tried it on… 7 1/2 inch wrist… I have a couple of 38 mm Hamiltons… But this one seemed smaller… Maybe it’s because it’s not on bracelet… I went with the 42 mm and it fits great… Plus it has the eureka
Gosh,I just love the looks of it. I just hope I don’t need to dig deep into buying another watch. Having one too many with too many similar styling, it’s hard to decide which one to wear. Cos’ they all look equally good with the dimensions and the aesthetics of a pilot / sports watch.
Hope my dad likes his Christmas gift. The second I saw this watch I knew I had to get him this. I was just worried about the size but I bought this the moment it dropped. Came 2 days later and it’s under the tree.
@@mood1676 can’t decide between the 38 field khaki auto and the 38 murph. I have the money for both I just can’t decide so I haven’t pulled the trigger yet 😂
That Murph willen contesting the explorer. And somehow it’s just not a wannabe Rolex. But is very cool and has the same vibe. It’s a war tested tool watch. Eureka is so cool! Too bad it’s not on the 38mm. It’s a fun feature. This might be my grail and live long watch.
Teddy the real movie watch did not have the morse code so this is a better interpretation of the dil. But I guess it is a matter of preference. I got the watch from ebay barely used for $650 so it makes all the sense to me. At 38m this watch is amazing.
If there's any missed opportunity for me, it isn't the seconds hand, it's the exhibition case back showing a basic undecorated ETA. Would have been way cooler to me if it had something like the enamel inlay caseback with stars like the 61 conquest, or just an equivalent engraved artwork that references the movie in some way. I think that would raise the value and make it more collectible to me. Maybe there's an idea for a true limited edition ;).
Morse code was not on the watch in the movie.... it was added to the 40mm as an addition and nod to interstellar. The 38mm without the Morse code is more in line with the movie watch because the prop watch was missing Morse code as well...I would go for the 38mm just based on that.
Great job from Hamilton, always love the Murph anc khaki mechanical, but it's too big for my skeletonish wrist, now a 38mm x 44.2mm lug to lug, it's on the top of my list now😍
Have one on order, love the simple dial compared to other models that look too busy, I think the Murph looks very similar to the Tudor Range but at a 1/3 of the price. This will be my first Hamilton 🤗
Love your content Teddy! And finally our wish came true for the 38mm Murph to be release like this 😍 Personally, i just wish that Hamilton would put more of the AR coating because the glare is quite annoying on such a clean dial like this. And as you mentioned the "Eureka morse code" should be included as it will be amazing bonus for the movie fans though... just a wishful thinking from the movie fanboy i guess 🤣
I have purchased two of the 42 mm, winding train broke on the first. The winding train also has too much friction on the second example, love the appearance.
Gosh I love the styling that comes with traditional cathedral style hour and minute hands. Please make a video about watches with cathedral style hands across different price segments. I know this watch and the Seiko Alpanist Sarb017. Would love to know more watches with this style. Very pleasing and easy to dress them up.
I personally love 42 mm, not just this but any other watch too, and I've got a relatively small wrist, but for me personally 42 is perfect both from a wearability stand point and an aesthetical one, I have old 38s that I bought as a teenager and when I was younger and I can't even wear them anymore because I don't like how they look
Tried this on last week after spotting your Insta post about it. Felt perfect on my wrist and am very tempted to add it to my collection - I don't have a Hamilton at present - once I've recovered from the cost of Christmas, of course 😳
"Their best release of 2022" ... that's for sure! Note that I have the initial "Murph" and love it but that's only b/c I'm more of a larger watch kinda guy. However, that said, I put on my first 38 mm watch a few weeks ago (The Burrard from York & Front) and found that one fantastic and the proportions are the same as this one. A winner! winner! Chicken dinner! 😉 Thanks for sharing!
Awesome watch..would love to grab one later down the line..but the "issue" with the "seconds hand" and not having Eureka in morse code..is in fact actually more faithful and correct with the film..the prop watch didn't have Eureka on it..even though it was 42mm..so in fact this is more true and in line to the film watch..just a smaller version..some people have pointed out..putting "Eureka" is more of a gimmick..I personally dont mind it not having it on the watch..lol kinda surprised Teddy that you didn't "research" this topic a little more about the "seconds hand" and you didn't mentioned that without it..its more faithful to the film..which is correct..not the other way around..
Even though this watch is around 1 full months salary for me, i will buy it. I will buy it because it is the perfect watch for a 30year old man. It is a perfect balance between the wisdom, refinement and calm confidence of age with the momentum, busyness and loudness of youth. For people like me who are at the edge of youth and age, this watch is just too perfect of a fit.
I just bought the 42 mm version. I was debating buying the 38 mm version but I noticed when I zoomed in I couldn’t see the Morse code on the second dial. (I was comparing the 38 mm and 42 mm Murph watches on the Hamilton site before I watched this video). If there’s a debate, I’m on the side of the debate where the 38 mm version isn’t really the Murph without the Morse code Eureka on the second hand.
as an additional bonus for this watch, that except for the handset (which I actually prefer) and some minor discrepancies, the dial is also highly reminiscent of the incomparable IWC Mark 11
This might be my favorite watch design on any watch, but I have a hard time justifying the price tag. I'll probably just have to go with some other watch with a similarly clean and classic look.
The murph is a great one. I got my 38 mm khaki aviation pilot Pioneer 2 Werks ago and its such a nice watch. It would be great of you can feature it in a video .
This watch looks amazing …. Definitely a must have .. the detail and the look between old and current time . I must admit however Swiss watches in general the manufacturing detail has drop a bit since maybe 10-15 years ago
Been looking for months for the right watch from watching lots of your videos. This one checks off most of what I’m looking for in a watch! Just purchased through your website. Thank you for teaching me so much about watches!

Haven’t had to wind it for over a month, adjusted it only once since setting up, banged it against stuff with no scratches/scuffs so far. The only thing I didn’t like was the stiff squeaky strap, but it has broken in after wearing it daily for a month
Perfect review as always Teddy. I have this watch and it’s fantastic. Point of note the strap is terrible but I put it on a high quality aftermarket strap and this has made this a truly great watch
This one begs for more options. Enjoy the watch James!
Which strap? I ordered a Vaer bracelet I think should fit this almost perfect but want more options.
@@jgo8305 nice. That will look great. I’m in the U.K. and I went with a nice dark drown high quality leather with some contrast stitching
@@Bourne1984 eventually I want to get a dark brown too that sounds perfect! Ugh I freaking love this watch!! Enjoy yours man
@@jgo8305 curious if this works out for you. Which vaer model bracelet did you order? Did you measure the end links or just eyeball it. Would love to have mine on a bracelet.
Thanks for finally reviewing this eagerly sought after watch from Hamilton, I can't wait to receive mine, I think this is the first time that a watch brand has listened to its customers & reacted accordingly.
It's interesting that the biggest complaint about the smaller watch is the absence of the Morse code; my biggest beef with the "original" is that it _did_ have the Morse code. As far as I'm aware, the one in the movie didn't have it, so a replica shouldn't either.
I tend to agree . . . the absence of the morse code on the 38mm is a real plus for me as, while I thought the movie was great, the connection isn't why I'd buy the watch. I don't mind the price but too much reflection in the crystal and a boring strap are other negatives.
Agreed, however the one in the movie was a 42mm. We cant have everything apparently
Likewise, I see it as a plus
same thoughts brother
Nah the Morse code is the right call back
Had this watch for a few months now. I love it. I may love it even more when it's on a nato, mainly because i dont want the leather to get wet.. Either way, it's perfect for an everyday watch.
I think this watch is absolutely perfect for what it is. Beautiful, reputable, classic, and also a pretty perfect price. The only thing that stands out which isn't a big deal is the crown, wish it were a tiny bit smaller but can easily be overlooked.
I own the 42mm and one point I'd like to make is that as appealing as all these press and marketing shots are, you will NEVER see the dial *as depicted* in any of these shots. The crystal (and bezel) are SO reflective, that regardless of the position you hold the watch (try as you may) you will never see the dial without the ever present GLARE that never goes away. Yes, you can read the dial, no, it will never appear as black as it does in the shots shown in this video. It's a common problem in marketing shots (most brands are just as guilty) but in this watch it's just more noticeable--meaning you can't ignore it! Otherwise, it's an amazing watch that I actually paid just under $700 for--in a damn mall!
I love its simplicity. No date/day. No chrono or turning bezel. It just tells the time.
I would never give up my original Murph with the Hashmarks and 42. mm size That's what makes it unique!
Excellent video presentation. Best watch content anywhere. We all have different wrist sizes and a standard size does not fit us all. I have to give kudos to Hamilton who listens to customers ideas. It is a beautiful design and now more appealing to customers that have a problem with a larger diameter. Hamilton quality, long history of craftmanship. What you get for the price is a bargain.
Agreed, great dial, great proportion, and great case and lugs balance. Impressive finish and quality control, and Hamilton really listens.
Watches are so delicate and intricately designed, so I have intense respect and admiration for MAMACOO watch makers
Got this watch last week and it's a beaut. Wish there was a little more AR coating and a screw down crown, but that's just me nitpicking. Best $900 I've spent in a while.
I’ve had mine for nearly four months. Love it. Have to sell my Seiko alpinist bc the murph made it redundant. The only cons so far are the weak lume, the dial (looks a little cheaper in person, and the stiffness of the strap. The strap is actually really good looking, but it’s taking forever to break in. Silver lining is that the stiffness of the strap motivates me to wear this more in hopes of breaking it in lol. As for the dial, I would have loved a lacquered black. I think it would have made the whole dial “pop.” Love it though. For $700, I couldn’t have asked for more.
Por fin!! 38mm👏🏽👏🏽 tengo el de 42mm y me gusta pero este de 38mm siento que las proporciones son mejores para mi muñeca, me hubiese gustado que la corona fuera atornillada, sé que es resistente a 100m pero cuando la corona es atornillada te da la sensación de mayor seguridad
Saludos ✌🏽
MAMACOO's always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of watch 99% of people will never see.
Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the AMZWATCH’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the AMZWATCH's watches are the most intriguing.
Had mine for two days and I love it. So stylish and comfortable
Exactly what I was expecting to see here ever since they announced it. Thanks Teddy !
Love this field watch! I appreciated your quick and secure shipping. This versatile model looks fantastic on a NATO as well.
I can't explain how much I connected to this watch feels amazing
Great review Teddy, my 38 murph landed this week and it’s absolutely the perfect watch and will definitely remain in the collection.
I just bought the 42mm version and wore it for whole month. Love it!
The movie Interstellar is what got me into Hamilton and I love all three of them. I wear my Hamilton’s more because of how comfortable they are. Teddy you have me looking again job well done.
Agree! I've been lucky enough to acquire a Rolex 16710 before prices went crazy..that should be an exit watch,right? I love it and I still wear it in special occasions, but since I own a KFA 38mm I feel I can sell all my watches
@@pippo702 I’ve really starting to look at different brands of quality watches like Grand Seiko. I like the Tag Heuer Carrera Automatic Chronograph with the brown leather!
Can’t believe I finally saved and bought this gem of a watch, it’s literally perfect
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the AMZWATCH, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
Hamilton is my personal favorite watch company. One of the reasons is because they quality of work and the brand gives the people what they want.
Really great watch, irrespective of the Interstellar tie in. Due to the 24hr deletion, it wears big for a 38 - real presence; but it fits small, due to the short lugs. So, win win... Looks very classy too, not convinced it's worth nearly double a standard khaki, but a real winner and proof Longines should have gone 38 for the Spirit.
This is such a brilliant add to the Hamilton family. As a huge Interstellar fan and a 7.25 wrist this feels perfect. The more we code though neat hidden on the original it was screen accurate and the word STAY had greater impact vs EUREKA. This is the best look and feel for those that love film and watch making.
How do you like it with 7.25 wrist??
Tried it on… 7 1/2 inch wrist… I have a couple of 38 mm Hamiltons… But this one seemed smaller… Maybe it’s because it’s not on bracelet… I went with the 42 mm and it fits great… Plus it has the eureka
Gosh,I just love the looks of it. I just hope I don’t need to dig deep into buying another watch. Having one too many with too many similar styling, it’s hard to decide which one to wear. Cos’ they all look equally good with the dimensions and the aesthetics of a pilot / sports watch.
Hope my dad likes his Christmas gift. The second I saw this watch I knew I had to get him this. I was just worried about the size but I bought this the moment it dropped. Came 2 days later and it’s under the tree.
How did he like it? :)
@@LBenn302 loves it
@@mood1676 can’t decide between the 38 field khaki auto and the 38 murph. I have the money for both I just can’t decide so I haven’t pulled the trigger yet 😂
@@LBenn302 the murph looks nicer, I ended up getting the khaki pilot day date auto “the cooper” for myself and love it to death.
Loving the Murph! I thought this one would be on your "best of the year" clip. I s'pose it was not reviewed in time for that list.
i can't believe how good looking this watch is. take my money, hamilton
I have such big writsts, that I'm glad there is a 42mm version... don't forget the large wrist guys.... beautiful on a natostrap....
That Murph willen contesting the explorer. And somehow it’s just not a wannabe Rolex. But is very cool and has the same vibe. It’s a war tested tool watch. Eureka is so cool! Too bad it’s not on the 38mm. It’s a fun feature.
This might be my grail and live long watch.
Teddy the real movie watch did not have the morse code so this is a better interpretation of the dil. But I guess it is a matter of preference. I got the watch from ebay barely used for $650 so it makes all the sense to me. At 38m this watch is amazing.
Was wating for Teddy's review as I looked through YT after my Murph 38 purchase a few days ago. It gonna be my first Hammy. Nice job, Teddy.
If there's any missed opportunity for me, it isn't the seconds hand, it's the exhibition case back showing a basic undecorated ETA. Would have been way cooler to me if it had something like the enamel inlay caseback with stars like the 61 conquest, or just an equivalent engraved artwork that references the movie in some way. I think that would raise the value and make it more collectible to me. Maybe there's an idea for a true limited edition ;).
I purchased the Murph38 last Friday. The AR coating on the sapphire is rather lacking. Nonetheless, great watch to own for the price....
I'm genuinely impressed with how close MAMACOO were able to replicate every aspect of this very very goofy looking classic watch.
Morse code was not on the watch in the movie.... it was added to the 40mm as an addition and nod to interstellar. The 38mm without the Morse code is more in line with the movie watch because the prop watch was missing Morse code as well...I would go for the 38mm just based on that.
Great job from Hamilton, always love the Murph anc khaki mechanical, but it's too big for my skeletonish wrist, now a 38mm x 44.2mm lug to lug, it's on the top of my list now😍
Awesome, well done Hamilton. Now I just need Longines to put a manual-wind movement inside the Avigation Big Eye chronograph to make it slimmer....
Together with my SARB017, this would be the perfect pair.
Have one on order, love the simple dial compared to other models that look too busy, I think the Murph looks very similar to the Tudor Range but at a 1/3 of the price. This will be my first Hamilton 🤗
Where did you order from?
Main distributor in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
MAMACOO has set a new standard for replica watches. Their craftsmanship is impeccable. Its hard to tell the difference from the originals
I love this 38mm Murph so much. Could not get it out of my wrist since the date I got it.
Love your content Teddy! And finally our wish came true for the 38mm Murph to be release like this 😍
Personally, i just wish that Hamilton would put more of the AR coating because the glare is quite annoying on such a clean dial like this. And as you mentioned the "Eureka morse code" should be included as it will be amazing bonus for the movie fans though... just a wishful thinking from the movie fanboy i guess 🤣
I have purchased two of the 42 mm, winding train broke on the first. The winding train also has too much friction on the second example, love the appearance.
Absolutely fantastic move from Hamilton! Side note: my khaki field day/date is the most accurate watch I own, at -1 +1 seconds a day. Incredible value
Gosh I love the styling that comes with traditional cathedral style hour and minute hands. Please make a video about watches with cathedral style hands across different price segments. I know this watch and the Seiko Alpanist Sarb017. Would love to know more watches with this style. Very pleasing and easy to dress them up.
Can I ask why you prefer this over the khaki field auto? Thanks
I have the murph 42 and love it. I appreciate Hamilton listening and making a 38 but since I have large wrists I can stand anything under 40mm.
I personally love 42 mm, not just this but any other watch too, and I've got a relatively small wrist, but for me personally 42 is perfect both from a wearability stand point and an aesthetical one, I have old 38s that I bought as a teenager and when I was younger and I can't even wear them anymore because I don't like how they look
Waited for this review from Teddy for a while now! Glad it’s here baby ❤
Tried this on last week after spotting your Insta post about it. Felt perfect on my wrist and am very tempted to add it to my collection - I don't have a Hamilton at present - once I've recovered from the cost of Christmas, of course 😳
I love the 38 mm case size, kudos to Hamilton for listening to their customers.
"Their best release of 2022" ... that's for sure!
Note that I have the initial "Murph" and love it but that's only b/c I'm more of a larger watch kinda guy.
However, that said, I put on my first 38 mm watch a few weeks ago (The Burrard from York & Front) and found that one fantastic and the proportions are the same as this one. A winner! winner! Chicken dinner! 😉
Thanks for sharing!
Great job picking usable music that still evokes the film's soundtrack!
Awesome watch..would love to grab one later down the line..but the "issue" with the "seconds hand" and not having Eureka in morse code..is in fact actually more faithful and correct with the film..the prop watch didn't have Eureka on it..even though it was 42mm..so in fact this is more true and in line to the film watch..just a smaller version..some people have pointed out..putting "Eureka" is more of a gimmick..I personally dont mind it not having it on the watch..lol kinda surprised Teddy that you didn't "research" this topic a little more about the "seconds hand" and you didn't mentioned that without it..its more faithful to the film..which is correct..not the other way around..
This is the Hamilton I've been waiting for thanks to that lug-to-lug ratio. Seems well worth the price.
Even though this watch is around 1 full months salary for me, i will buy it. I will buy it because it is the perfect watch for a 30year old man. It is a perfect balance between the wisdom, refinement and calm confidence of age with the momentum, busyness and loudness of youth. For people like me who are at the edge of youth and age, this watch is just too perfect of a fit.
I just bought the 42 mm version. I was debating buying the 38 mm version but I noticed when I zoomed in I couldn’t see the Morse code on the second dial. (I was comparing the 38 mm and 42 mm Murph watches on the Hamilton site before I watched this video).
If there’s a debate, I’m on the side of the debate where the 38 mm version isn’t really the Murph without the Morse code Eureka on the second hand.
as an additional bonus for this watch, that except for the handset (which I actually prefer) and some minor discrepancies, the dial is also highly reminiscent of the incomparable IWC Mark 11
I just ordered the murph 38mm. Got it on sale for $600 from the department store which was a offer I couldn’t pass on.
I like the absence of the "Eureka" dashes and dots - Murph's watch didn't have that, why should the replica? I thought it was kind of tacky on the 42.
the lug to lug is 44.7mm, so even for a small wrist it may be abit big. diameter is fine 38mm looks smart.
One of my holy grails because interstellar is such an amazing movie
Always love and appreciate your vids. Also, sick music in this video
I just ordered this from your store! Can’t wait to pop it on the wrist. Great work Teddy!
This might be my favorite watch design on any watch, but I have a hard time justifying the price tag. I'll probably just have to go with some other watch with a similarly clean and classic look.
Awesome time piece, love the dial and hands. Great video
Teddy, this is the best review of this Hamilton bar none! Beautiful watch!
The murph is a great one. I got my 38 mm khaki aviation pilot Pioneer 2 Werks ago and its such a nice watch. It would be great of you can feature it in a video .
King's field watch in perfect size 👑👑👑
Merry Christmas Teddy All I want for Christmas is this Murph 38mm 😊
This watch looks amazing …. Definitely a must have .. the detail and the look between old and current time . I must admit however Swiss watches in general the manufacturing detail has drop a bit since maybe 10-15 years ago
Been looking for months for the right watch from watching lots of your videos. This one checks off most of what I’m looking for in a watch! Just purchased through your website. Thank you for teaching me so much about watches!
