HamiltonKhaki Field Watch, 38mm

Great time piece!

I love everything about this watch! I was looking for an affordable, yet versatile, every day automatic watch that I could wear to the office or on a backpacking journey, and the reviews that I read on this particular watch led me to believe that this may fit the bill. So, I took the plunge and bought it, and couldn’t be happier that I did. It’s definitely worth the price, perhaps even more. It’s a very handsome time piece that looks classy with my business casual and even formal attire, and it looks even better when I’m dressed in casual attire, or shorts and a t-shirt. It definitely fits into my active lifestyle. The movement is basically an ETA 2824-2 (Hamilton calls it their H10), and if you know anything about this particular movement, then you know it’s a rugged workhorse that will run forever with periodic servicing. It runs about -1 second/day, which is quite amazing considering the price point. I haven’t had it off my wrist long enough to really test the power reserve yet. The sapphire crystal doesn’t have an anti-reflective coating, but that’s not a big deal to me. The dial is still beautiful and legible with minimal glare. I haven’t submerged the watch into water fully, yet, but it is rated for 10 bar of water resistance, so I’m certain I will try it at some point (with a water resistant strap). It worries me a little that it doesn’t have a screw down crown, but that’s still not a deal breaker for me. The strap for this model is a premium grain leather, which only took a day or so to soften up. It is fairly comfortable right out of the box, but after a day of wear you won’t even know it’s on your wrist, until you check the time of course. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend it to others who are seeking the same things in a time piece.
