With novel and more solid dimensions, the Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Auto 38mm Blue's 38mm titanium case, a lug-to-lug distance of 46mm as well as its thickness of 11.68mm alludes to its vintage military-issue predecessors. Functional and simple, the tapering athletic lugs, vertical case sides, a completely brushed finish and a narrow sloping bezel of this timepiece accentuate its overall utilitarian feel.
 
It feels exceptionally lightweight at merely 64 grams, providing an extremely comfortable all-day wearing experience on the wrist. As a watch originally built for action in the field, titanium is an absolutely fitting choice of material for a modern tool watch, offering considerable corrosion resistance, robustness and durability, essential characteristics that the Khaki Field calls for as a field watch. Moreover, this watch is further poised for 100 meters of water resistance during an underwater adventure.

The introduction of the serene deep blue dial variant refashions its design to portray a softer and more muted tone. The dial took the ode-to-the-past aesthetic, like, for instance, only bears the "Hamilton" and "Khaki Automatic" titles on the dial, keeping the sterile look with simple 12 and 24-hour military scales, luminous syringe hands, and all of them done white on black background tone for legibilty. Adding a touch of depth, the 12-hour scale sits on a sunburst CD-textured pattern, subtly elevating the visual appeal. The rehaut features a crisp white 60-minute scale, further enhancing readability. Strapping the Khaki Field Auto 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.
 
The Khaki Field Titanium Auto 38 Blue on Bracelet is powered by its Caliber H-10 which is a tweaked 25-jewel ETA C07.611 automatic 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 enhancing an automatic 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.

SuperLuminova for Superb Glow In Dark

Hamilton has paired the Khaki Field Titanium Auto 38mm Blue with a robust 20mm titanium sports bracelet, featuring a signed clasp. This perfect combination ensures durability and comfort, making it ideal for any occasion and built to withstand all conditions.
 
All in all this new model would hit a sweet spot for watch lovers and outdoor enthusiasts with its sturdy case dimensions and architectural-grade configurations. 100-year tradition in military timepieces together with lightweight materials render the Khaki Field Titanium Automatic the best imaginable all-purpose watch for contemporary heroes. Indeed, this model is certainly not to be missed out on.
