Hamilton: A Legacy of Timekeeping
Founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1892, Hamilton has crafted watches that strike a unique balance between authenticity and innovation. Hamilton timepieces synchronized the first railroads, kept time for aviation pioneers, and became trusted companions for U.S. soldiers. Known as the watchmaker of filmmakers, Hamilton watches have graced the screens in over 500 movies and TV shows, with custom designs playing pivotal roles in Hollywood blockbusters. Beyond cinema, Hamilton made history by designing the first branded watch featured in a video game.
With an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and accuracy, Hamilton introduced the world's first electric watch in 1957 and the first LED digital watch in 1970. As a proud member of the Swatch Group, the global leader in watch manufacturing and distribution, Hamilton’s current collections merge its American spirit with true Swiss precision.

The Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical: A Tribute to Heritage and Innovation
The Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm tells time and whispers tales of daring adventures, resilience, and timeless style. Welcome to the distinguished world of the Khaki Field Mechanical, affectionately known as the original soldier’s watch. Hamilton, always attentive to the desires of its dedicated clientele, proudly introduces three exquisite new color variations of this esteemed classic, now available in a refined 38mm size.
Firstly, consider the revamped white dial Khaki Field Mechanical. This model now features a striking green Super-LumiNova®, offering enhanced visibility and a fresh intensity, paired seamlessly with a sleek all-black NATO strap. This combination merges traditional elements with a bold, modern twist, making it a standout piece.
Next, check out the classic matte stainless-steel case that now houses an all-new blue dial. This version, paired with a matching blue NATO strap, brings a monochromatic aesthetic that revitalizes the conventional earth tones of field watches. The serene yet sophisticated hue adds a unique touch of elegance to your wrist.
Furthermore, the Khaki Field Mechanical Bronze, a standout since its introduction in 2021, makes a notable return with a captivating new white dial. The use of bronze, inspired by military medals and valued for its robustness and anti-corrosive properties, continues to be a distinctive feature of this beloved collection.
At the core of these remarkable timepieces lies the H-50 movement, a testament to military precision and exclusively developed by Hamilton for their hand-wound watches. With an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours, this movement ensures your watch will maintain accurate timekeeping for over three days on a full wind, offering unparalleled reliability.
The absence of a winding rotor allows the 38mm case to remain slim and lightweight, enhancing both comfort and versatility. The Khaki Field Mechanical is not merely a watch; it is a reliable companion, a definitive reference in the realm of field watches, prepared to accompany you on any journey.
