Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Handwinding Black 38 - Bracelet Ref. H69439131

Today, we would like to offer their outdoor Khaki collection- a timeless epoch under their belt since 1914, a continuation of their military history in the design of form follows function. This Khaki collection is the epitome of best value Swiss manufacturing timepieces today. Strong history known that radiates robustness and reliability, no wonder even from elite collectors to those starting their watch collecting journey, would still favor and appreciate a solidly built all-rounder watch that Khaki watch provides.

TheHamilton Khaki Field Mechanical HW Black 38 - Bracelet Ref. H69439131 sets forth as a perfect example of what we just mentioned above. The Khaki Field Mechanical is a tribute to its military pedigree, precisely like their MIL-W-46374 spec watch produced specifically for use by navigators in the U.S. Air Force during the 60s and 70s, while their field watch dates back even earlier during World War 2 in the 1940s. This particular version sets forth where it is designed to be the perfect combination of a vintage piece with modern technology. Measuring wittily at 38mm wide and 9.5mm in height, the stainless steel case is done in matte sandblasted tone to mimic the original finishing during the days to minimize reflections coming from polished surfaces. Further, at 38mm, the Khaki Field Mechanical bears 50m water resistant and wears exceptionally well and versatile from most of our wrists, both for men and women.

Original MIL-W-46374 specifications

Ok, we have to strongly emphasize the practicality of having a drilled-lug hole on-field watch’s case, and this Khaki Field Mechanical nails it through and through, this allows the wearer to swap in and out for the enjoyment of pairing new kicks (straps we meant) on it to fit one’s mood. Further, the case features a domed sapphire crystal and screw-in case back with essentials specifications engraved onto it. The crown has knurling on it, done with the right size for one to wind the watch up with ease.

Moving onto its military-spec dial, it is done and conformed to look precisely like the MIL-W-46374, while let us described it like how Eminem rhymes his selective words with his instrumental bars- uncluttered, vintage, utilitarian, soldier-ly, and versatile. The dial took the ode-to-the-past aesthetic, like for instant, only bears the “Hamilton” title on the dial, keeping the sterile look with simple 12 and 24-hour military scales, luminous syringe hands, and all of them done in vintage patina brown color. There is no date display done, resulting in the original field watch look while keeping things balanced symmetrically. Strapping the Khaki Mechanical Black to the wrist, one can conclude the built for function above all things and built to last like during wartime, while most of us believed only to do from desk-diving to cafe hopping to be our daily activities.

Quality matte sandblasted finished in Switzerland

The Khaki Field Mechanical is powered by its Caliber H-50, which is a tweaked 17-jewel ETA 2801-2 hand-wound center seconds movement. The main tweak has the power reserve pumped up to 80 hours while having the frequency of the balance slowed from 4Hz to 3Hz, or from 28,800 beats per hour to 21,600bph. Further, the mainspring got lengthened due to the reduction of the barrel arbor’s core. This allows a longer power reserve benefiting a hand-wound movement, with the lower beat-rate reminds one of an old school hand cranker found on vintage military watches. With all this said, Hamilton truly is the few that can produce such movement upgrade on a large scale and further being well priced.

Hamilton paired the Khaki Field Mechanical with a 20mm sturdy steel bracelet in matching matte tone with the case, and is suitable for all occasions and conditions.
