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. A strong record 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 collection that Khaki watch provides.

In 2020, a new color variant has joined their military dive watches, and what we have here is the new Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Auto Green Ref. H82375161. Like the Khaki collection, Hamilton’s military scuba dive watches are purpose made tool watches. And suppose their Khaki Navy Frogman divers are their fully-geared dive watches in military quirks, like the unmistakable screw cap over the crown. In that case, the Khaki Scuba dive watches are low-key, stripped-down version to their essentials. While keeping the form-follows-function, no-frills elements that Hamilton possessed with since oh-too-well for more than 70 years.

Swiss mechanical dive watch with a value proposition

The Khaki Scuba Auto punches way above its price category with a lot to go for, and this particular version gets all the right notes with its olive-green tone. Although it was only introduced in 2017, Hamilton has had experience in dive watchmaking. It can be traced back to its history since the early 40s, producing dive watches for the US Navy. Today, the brand continues the legacy for watch heads, those who appreciate an excellent Swiss mechanical dive watch with a value proposition.

Measuring at 40mm wide and 13mm in height, the 100m water resistant Khaki Navy Scuba Auto comes alive with its stainless steel case, done in full satin-brushed. The top surface spots a lovely satin-finished that flows towards the strap sections and screw-down crown for the crown guards, while the case band gets an excellent horizontal brush. This results in a refined yet utilitarian appeal that’s suitable for a classic dive watch like this. While the case is fully satined, conversely, its bezel with an olive green aluminum insert gets an excellent polish finishing seen on the groove.

The 60-click unidirectional bezel sits slightly within the mid-case. It gets a black accent for the first fifteen-minute markings, resulting in pleasant contrast with the full militaristic green theme. That said, rotating the bezel has a nice tactile feel with assuring “click” sound and can be done with ease. The lugs continue to curve down nicely, making it even more compact and wearable on the wrist with enough presence. Further, at 40mm plus a lug-to-lug distance of 50mm, the Khaki Scuba Auto wears and sits oh-so-well on most wrists with versatility and then some.

Full satin-brushed stainless steel case

When viewed upon its olive green dial through a slight-domed crystal made of sapphire, the new Scuba Auto continues the mil-spec package. Cladding a 24 -hour markers that are flanged by 12 applied ones, mainly in block and trapezoid shapes. Minutes markers are done prominently in-between the primary hour markers with an unobtrusive date display in-between 4 and 5 o’clock, placed nicely with the 24-hour markers. As a military theme diver, the Khaki Scuba imbued a set of sword hands for precise time-reading, only to be accentuated with its red-tip second hand. Texts are kept to the minimal, with an applied “H” logo with Hamilton branding above, balanced blissfully with the “Khaki Automatic” wordings at the bottom. Finally, all the markers and handset are filled with SuperLuminova luminescence for low light reading even when one enters the water.

Enclosed behind a screw-down case back lies another value offering by Hamilton. The Khaki Scuba Auto technical features do not stop here. Behind its engraved case back powered a Hamilton caliber H-10 - an automatic movement with modification of the ETA caliber C07.611. The main upgrade on this 25 jewels Swiss-made movement is the bi-directional winding system by the rotor, and the power reserve pumped up to 80 hours compared to the usual 38 hours. Date adjustment and hackable functionality to stop the movement when the crown is pulled for a precise time setting. Hamilton truly packs the Scuba Auto with this robust movement while still being amazingly well priced for a Swiss dive watch.

SuperLuminova for Superb Glow In Dark

In completing the value proposition, Hamilton paired the Khaki Scuba Auto with a 20mm triple-row stainless steel bracelet with a quick-adjust diver’s extension at the signed clasp. The bracelet is multi-finished, mainly done with satin finishing, with the raised trapezoid center-links displaying polished surroundings for a nice contrast. All that makes the Khaki Navy Frogman suitable for most occasions and conditions.

H82375161 is a perfect example of versatility designed for active service on land and water while captivating a classic design ethos with very own back-to-those-days military aesthetics.
