The Hamilton Khaki Field should be part of every single collection out there, gorgeous watch, reliable movement, iconic history... I cannot praise this watch enough
@@Not-a-bot222 it's still a great watch. i hope you have the appropriate size tho. it comes in a 38mm and 42mm which makes a difference. i wish i would have bought the 38mm instead of the 42mm. Regarding the strap, it's all about the eye of the beholder. i'm very picky,,,, to me the leather is a hair on the lighter side. it's also pretty stiff. the buckle is nice though.
Thanks for the review, enjoyed it! I own the watch as well on the metal bracelet. Fantastic watch in every way, I never tire of it. On the topic of anti-reflective coatings, I have heard others complain of the lack of AR coating on watch crystals in general, as if it is such a big deal. Honestly, I love that it has no AR coating. The reflective qualities make it a stunning watch to look at. Unless my life somehow depended on seeing the time in perfect clarity at all times, I see no issue with it whatsoever and frankly, see the lack of AR coating as a positive.
This watch blows me away. I picked one up after thinking about it for years. I personally like the latest movement. Makes it different from my older Tissots and Certinas etc. A classic!
I have one on the way. I had the 38mm mechanical, but was not a huge fan of the matte finish, which, imo, limited its ability to be work as a casual everyday piece. Also, the mechanical is rated to 50m and was perhaps too thin for my taste. This auto (for the same price) takes care of the three small issues I had with the mech. This H-10 movement has an astounding 80 hours of power reserve! I know the Khaki auto 38 will be one that’ll stay with me and eventually will be given to my son. A totally iconic piece!
I’ve checked out several reviews. Then got myself one. Very happy, I’m not a tiny wrist guy, just don’t like big watches. This keeps fantastic time. I set it to the second at noon on Sunday, next Sunday at noon I watched the second hand coming up to 12 and my phone time (with seconds running) keeping right up with it. Was pleasantly surprised to note my watch was 1 second fast 😂 This one is a keeper for me
Wish there was a navy blue version in this model. Good size. Good movement. Good looking dial. Maybe there is a place to customize dials???? Gotta do research now
I own five Hamiltons and am seriously considering adding the 38mm auto. Thank you for a great review of this classic-looking watch. I enjoy the style of your presentation ... liked and subscribed 😊.
For me that new shock absorber looks like a hybrid of Nivachoc and Novodiac. Maybe it works better, since Nivachoc is used in Omega, but it's probably not a huge deal. IMHO it looks more flexible. Upside is you know you have the newest 2019 movement, since H-10 came with Novodiac before, even that newer iteration with "Star H" logo. I just got mine Khaki field 38 with the same movement/antishock combo. Did yours also came in a foux wooden box or a standard black one?
I have been back and forth with wanting this watch over the years, but I'm sure I will end up with one sooner (probably) or later...great video quality by the way, I enjoyed the review and especially the natural soft light, really brings out the best of the watch. I don't know how I've never seen this video before, but from a quick look at your videos I have to subscribe!
Great job on the review! I've owned that watch for a year now and love it. I don't really like the strap much, but its versatile and overall a great watch. Cheers!
Bob McMahon if you like soft strap then I would recommend the Fluco suede strap. I use it with the white dial of the model, it looks and feels very good.
The 2017 model year is currently being sold by a third party on Amazon. If you buy this from an AD, do you get the current model year, and would it make a difference in terms of movement, etc? This probably applies to many of the third party grey market watches sold. What model year was the reviewed watch? Thanks.
I grabbed my first Hamilton back 7 plus yrs ago when I bought a Silver dialed Intra-Matic on bracelet and loved it immediately and finally after buying plenty of solid microbrand with Swiss movements from Hamtun to the Lorier Neptune and the Smiths Everest I am going to add a Khaki Field 38 mm on leather to the collection. I feel it looks great on bracelet so I am going to try it on a Strapcode brushed w/ polished centre links so hopefully it looks as good as the photos and not too small. Thanks 🙏🏽 for the review. I just wanted to check this vs the Khaki King II/bracelet to see what I should grab. If anyone has an ideas for nice quality after market bracelets for any of these pieces let me know. Thanks again bro ! Solid work !
I definitely agree that it is probably the best watch under 500, but I think the some of the seiko presage watches look way better even though the movement in the seiko is not as good.
I have three Hamilton's, they all "just work" in my world. unpretentious, good looking and functional watches, easy to read at a glance, classy and timeless. I have a Jazzmaster for dress up, a Mariner navy for hard work, and for every day is this one. Total investment is about $4k, less than one Uber watch, and I have choices.
I've been holding off from buying my first luxury piece but I find it hard to justify the prices. If there is any watch I want to purchase to somewhat itch the urge, Alpinist and Khaki field auto will do it.
On the original bracelet this is a beauty. I wanted a Rolex Explorer 39mm or the Oyster 36mm on the jubilee but once I got this Hamilton on the bracelet I new this was the better choice. Fits well, very comfortable and looks great. Definitely my favourite watch in my collection.
I’m looking at buying one of these but in the dial yours says khaki automatic and the one I’m looking at online says just khaki, are these different models?
There is a quartz variant which is quite similar but cheaper. Make sure you are buying the automatic movement (assuming that is what you want). Searching "Khaki Field Auto 38mm" should get you this exact watch.
I would recommend getting this watch on the bracelet, the leather strap is a bit disappointing imo, you can always buy a strap afterwards, really wish I’d have gotten the bracelet :(
I can't decide between this and the Longines Hydroquest ... I'm not a huge fan of leather straps, they can get stained, wrinkled, but I don't really like the Khaki field with a metal strap. Help me decide
The H10 movement can only be serviced by Hamilton, right? How much value does the H10 offer in the long run when considering servicing costs? I know some people prefer the ETA movement for the fact that it can be serviced for less, even though the power reserve isn't 80 hours.
No, from my knowledge the H10 like any other C07 611 movement, can be serviced by basically anyone who can service the ETA 2824. The H10 is very similar to the 2824, only some minor changes. I don't see why the H10 would be harder to service. They have removed the regulator screw/pin so it's a bit harder to adjust, but still possible of course. But that will help with the accuracy of the movement in theory. Short answer: The H10 can be serviced just like the ETA 2824. Regards GAW
@@WatchesAndCars Agree. I once had H10 in a Jazzmaster and did my research. It says 25 jewels beacause escapement is serviceable (metal parts with 2 pallets). On the other hand Powermatic 80 has a plastic escapement (hence 23 jewels) which is not serviceable. Watchmaker has to put a new set in. I'm not sure if every watchmaker will be able to get these parts from Swatch Group.
I think it looks too small for your 7.0 inch wrist. Should have been a 40 mm. There is a similarly designed dial at 42 mm. I know that there's a Khaki field that is 40 mm but this watch you reviewed has a really nice and better looking dial. I have a 7.25 inch wrist and what I bought instead is the H704450 silver model. Matched with a light gray NATO rubber and a gray leather NATO, it makes the watch look like a 40 mm in my wrist. I appreciate your insights, it helped me in my purchase.
I’m struggling with this same debate. I kind of prefer the aesthetic of the 38 mechanical, but I think the auto is more wearable and versatile in modern fashion. Any recommendation?
I miss the old background music like you had with the Orient Mako USA. Good review. I own a Hamilton Navy Pioneer and really enjoy it. This one has always been on my list as a maybe.
I miss the background music as well. But people back then didn't seem to like it much. Perhaps I will bring it back. The Navy Pioneer is a great watch. You could definitely have both the Pioneer and the Khaki 38 in the collection. Regards GAW
I've bought one in silver dial (h70455553). I've been told it's both automatic and hand winding but I doubt It Is actually hand winding: when I turn the crown forward, there Is no end stop! Can you please clarify that to me? Thanks in advance
I have this watch on the bracelet and compared it to an older generation Explorer 1. The Explorer bracelet felt a lot more tinny compared to the Hamilton bracelet.
The 36mm Explorer is very small (essentially feels like a dinky piece of jewellery to me, not the versatile tool watch I imagined) and the 39mm doesn't look right... 38mm Hamilton would be my vote.
@@radarphaser I can't speak of the orient . But the Hamilton, khaki field automatic is an excellent watch . I have the 42mm version and it's my most accurate watch always within +-1 spd. Usually dead on . I also have a Hamilton, khaki king and a pilot day date . They run +6 and +4 spd. 80 hr. Power reserve . Just awesome swiss made watches . Like I said I've never had an orient . But I believe this is a better watch . I do own a few seiko's and the Hamilton's definitely out perform them in accuracy. Check out Joma shop I got my Hamilton khaki field automatic 42mm for 370.00 .
I had 42mm version bought 2014. and that has problems with WR. Whole crystal was fogged up from inside.Really something unbelievable. I don't know if they had fixed that in todays watches.
@@danijel3227 Oh boy! That's what bugs me from getting a Hammy. Do you think the older generation Khaki , with the ETA 2824-2, somehow has a better WR than the new one with H-10?
@@andrewkristanto3517 My was old one 2014. with 2824-2 ...i will like to know did they fix problem with new one. Trust me, old one was 1 year old when was completely fogged up and that was NOT from washing hands ...watch was completely fogged up from wearing it in sommer.
@@danijel3227 Thanks for sharing Daniel. Guess I have to do a pressure test after I get the watch. Or perhaps I should start looking for another watch. Too bad I really love the look of the Khaki.
Hey guys, just a little criticism after having the 38mm khaki field auto for a time now. 1. I wouldn't get the 38mm, I'd go for the 40mm or 42mm (if you have the wrist size). 38mm is a dress size not a field size, yes, you can get away with it, but it also feels(to me) wrong. At least go have it sized before you buy. 2. The dial is actually two-toned in a way, you don't notice it much in the video but the dial is split in two with an inner and outer edge. 3. you definitely need to buy either a military nato or brown strap, dark color straps take away from the watch. What is shown in the video is the limit of dark brown.
Too big is subjective - and you admit as much. It’s perfect for me. The dial is actually three toned with an outer matte finish, a middle sunburst finish, and an inner muted sunburst. I am not a fan of the leather strap - mine is black. This watch deserves a NATO. Mine is on a dark grey NATO and looks great. I use this watch on weekends and when traveling.
If you say that then you'd be surprised when you learn about the traditional field watch sizes back then (spoiler: it's 31-36mm), those that the design of this watch is based on. 38mm pretty much already a modern design by today's standards. 😁
I was planning on going to buy this watch but I decided not to do it, the reason is that you can't regulate it yourself, you have to send it to Hamilton every time
HarryUnchained yep pearl harbour some other thing where a guy is buried alive maybe ryan reynolds and in other general war movies. It has american heritage. On a nato timeless and gorgeous
@@johnzeppfelix I know the Hamilton is 70 hour power reserve rather than 40-50 hours but that good news re the keeping better time. Am thinking of buying the Hamilton, its a good looking watch too.
@@WH-hi5ew A great move you wont regret. I have the Divers model also... mayby thats even a better move. I love Hamiltons.. i have several vintage Hamilton pocket watches. They last forever and are easy to have serviced. Its a lifetime watch.🤗
Looks are of course subjective, but the Hamilton have equal or perhaps even slightly better finishing, better movement (the 6R15 is more comparable to the H10), thinner, brand history etc. The Hamilton is objectively the better watch. The Falcon can of course be subjectively better though.
Um not saying the Lorier isn't a nice watch . But the Hamilton definitely outclasses it . H10 > nh35a, sapphire > mineral crystal, swiss>Japanese. The Falcons claims 200m w/r so it does top the 100m of the khaki field.
The Hamilton Khaki Field should be part of every single collection out there, gorgeous watch, reliable movement, iconic history... I cannot praise this watch enough
@@Ferien7 To each their own. I prefer a bold and highly legible dial. I think the black on brown combination is very sharp.
@@Ferien7 Great, Move along and find one you like, I think it's beautiful.
it's a great watch, but the strap looks and feels cheap
Matt Robert don’t say that ha, mine is on the way in this configuration. Although I’ve seen this with a black and grey NATO which looked great

True, the strap is not the best. Pretty stiff when you first get it. But it gets better after a few days.

If you say that then you'd be surprised when you learn about the traditional field watch sizes back then (spoiler: it's 31-36mm), those that the design of this watch is based on. 38mm pretty much already a modern design by today's standards. 😁

HarryUnchained yep pearl harbour some other thing where a guy is buried alive maybe ryan reynolds and in other general war movies. It has american heritage. On a nato timeless and gorgeous
Why is this more expensive than the khaki king?
Ich habe eine solche Uhr.Leider spiegelt das gewölbte Deckglas sehr.Man kann sie teilweise schlecht ablesen.
Ich habe so eine Uhr. Das gewölbte Glas spiegelt furchtbar..
My Hamiton out performs my bothe Rolex & Omega. + a fraction of the price. Go figure..
The Hamilton Khaki Field Auto out performs the Rolex and Omega in what way?
@@WH-hi5ew it keeps better time fore a longer period of time. Of course its knot a Rolex ore An Omega. I said fore the price....
@@johnzeppfelix I know the Hamilton is 70 hour power reserve rather than 40-50 hours but that good news re the keeping better time. Am thinking of buying the Hamilton, its a good looking watch too.
@@WH-hi5ew A great move you wont regret. I have the Divers model also... mayby thats even a better move. I love Hamiltons.. i have several vintage Hamilton pocket watches. They last forever and are easy to have serviced. Its a lifetime watch.🤗
@@johnzeppfelix Thanks, much appreciated feedback. I've learnt to try before I buy but its top of the list now.
is to small watch
They come in larger case sizes
I have a similar quartz that costs 30 pounds. Why pay this much lol.
You're not a watch guy or gal if you had to ask that question.
you bought a child's toy not a watch. quartz is lame
Steve E. Brown that is quite an ignorant comment and does lots in the way of showing you lack of knowledge in this hobby.
My Lorier Falcon is better, imo.
Looks are of course subjective, but the Hamilton have equal or perhaps even slightly better finishing, better movement (the 6R15 is more comparable to the H10), thinner, brand history etc. The Hamilton is objectively the better watch. The Falcon can of course be subjectively better though.
Um not saying the Lorier isn't a nice watch . But the Hamilton definitely outclasses it . H10 > nh35a, sapphire > mineral crystal, swiss>Japanese. The Falcons claims 200m w/r so it does top the 100m of the khaki field.
38 mm ? For a 13 years old boy wrist would be perfect.
A fat ass said
Or just buy a seiko 5 lol
Well you could but they aren't as good. The movement in the Hamilton is way better.
