Khaki Pilot Day Date was featured in the movie but was not designed for the movie. It was one of the regular Hamilton watches. The watch which was designed specifically for the movie was Khaki Field. It was worn by Cooper’s daughter Murph. Later it was produced as a limited edition.
I have this watch with the H40 movement in it. It's a gorgeous watch that is bulletproof, I've knocked it around quite a bit and it looks brand new. I love how easy it is to tell the time, its loses around 2-3 seconds a day which is fantastic. I also love how the watch looks like an altimeter. superb watch. Well worth the price tag.
This has always been one of my favorite watches. And even more so since the excellent Christopher Nolan film immortalized it. You should check out the documentary on the watch his daughter wore and how they modified that Hamilton to do code. Really interesting. I'm at work on mobile or I'd find it and link it. Great review, Sam. Cheers
Michael J. Savage my mistake. It wasn't a documentary per say. But here is the article from a blog to watch www.ablogtowatch.com/hamilton-watches-movie-interstellar/
I go this a few weeks ago. On the wrist it averaged +0.5 seconds per day over a two week period! I have the later version with the h40 movement. On the bracelet or a nato it's my current favorite.
Great video dude, how did you manage to find one with the older smoother sweep movement? I looked everywhere but couldnt find one and ended up buying the newer version with the powermatic 80 which operates at 21600. I really wanted the 28800 one but couldnt get my hands on it! You are very lucky!
Hi, thanks for commenting. Thats is a great question and I can only guess at the proper answer as I borrowed this for a review (as mentioned in the video its a friends) He got it from a local jeweller in a local Mall near us in Mission Viejo.
I have 6” wrist and kind of intimidated by it’s size but the watch is a beauty and I’m sure I will be wearing it soon. If anyone has 6” wrists and wears it please share your experience with this watch!
Thanks Mario, my wrist in this video is 7 and a quarter inch! The watch is thin and I think that makes a difference. Hopefully someone with a similar wrist size can leave a comment!
I have a Jazzmaster with ETA 2892, which is incredibly accurate, and yesterday I bought a Khaki Field Aviation automatic with H30 and an 80-hour power reserve with a blue dial. Hamilton watches offer a lot for their price, which justifies their purchase.
I have subscribed. You are scratching all my watch issues. Having a Spencer Klein interview is truly the work of a renaissance man! Hamilton is my favorite watch brand even though I can afford more expensive watches. Well done!
Hey Tod, thanks for commenting. Yes I have been very lucky so far with my interviews, you should check out the one I did last week on the Rolex Engraving very interesting. Anyway, thanks for subscribing!
Hello,I bought this watch from a friend yesterday, and I noticed something different with yours, my watch without “2834-2” this code on back. It’s a really beautiful and nice watch, but I’m concern about this part, Is it possible a fake Hamilton ? BTW,the price that I spent is around 700 dollars. (Brand new is around 850 dollars here) Sorry,I’m from Taiwan so I speak English not correctly. Anyway,great video, thank you!
Hey. So I borrowed this from a friend but there is two versions of this watch. I didn’t realize at the time of filming that there are two versions. Look at both and then make a comparison Your English is really good.
I bought one, doesn't get as much wrist time as I thought it would. Fleiger wise I wear my Speedbird III more often, possibly due to the more wearable size.
@@CasualWatchReviews ridiculously well made watch for the money. Matt Black soft iron dial, case is made by the chap who CNCs the Damasko cases, the bracelet on the early batches is a work of art and engineered to very high tolerances and my one has a very high end ETA. The challenge of course, is buying one from Eddie 😉😁
Hey Riff, yes this is a very solid feeling watch. I supposed the laco and Stowa are more traditional in their look than the Hamilton, but I think that makes this more multi functional as a formal or casual watch. As always, thanks for watching and commenting
The Murph watch, is the one designed for the movie. Apparently they had days to design it. You can't buy it unfortunately. But this one has been out for a while I believe.
Such a gorgeous watch. I had it for a year and stupidly sold it. I went ahead and just ordered it again. Is it me or doesn't this watch feel higher end then it is??
Honestly David I can't really remember. I'm sure I would have mentioned it if it did. I have a feeling with it being ETA that in the date setting position you went up for day and down for date. But I can't say for sure, let me text my friend and ask.
I just got this piece (lighter dial and no lume on the indices) and noticed what you’re experiencing: the crown pulls out all the way to set time and the day/date setting in the middle is VERY subtle and easy to blow past. Pull the crown out all the way and back it off a couple times and you’ll find it, then up for day, down for date.
Hey Chris. They are really two different watches so its hard to make a direct comparison. This one looks like a 6k value as opposes to $600 were as the SKX is a $200 watch that looks its value. This watch is very impressive in person
It's hard to love a watch brand that's merely a marketing name now. Love the american Hamilton Watch Company that made watches in the US. Amazing to me that the Swatch precursor SIHH, bought the Hamilton Watch Company WAY BACK when: "In 1971, the Omega & Tissot Holding Company Société Suisse pour l'Industrie Horlogère (SSIH) purchased the Hamilton brand and utilized the Hamilton name for a number of branding efforts, including numerous quartz watches in the 1980s."
I actually like that about the brand, if you consider that after the quartz crisis Hamilton could have been dead and buried. What would be worse if the name had been sold to a company that didn't treat it with its former respect and produced watches not worthy of the name and I'm sure we can think of countless examples of American brands that that happened to, Elgin and Waltham immediately come to mind. Hamilton offer a very high quality watch is a sector of the watch market that is tough to navigate in terms of cost vs quality. I think this watch represents an excellent nod to the past of Hamilton and an excitement about what they can do in the future. If they had been lost after being an icon of military service and had been sold to a company just for the name then that would have been just awful.
Well said. Similarly, Bulova is now owned by Citizen. Here's the former Bulova HQ in N.Y.C.: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/19/Bulova_Corp_Center_75-20_Astoria_Blvd_jeh.jpg
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. This is just the way I talk. I know I do it and am working on it. Im trying to get that much detail in and I dont want to read from a script so I tend to just talk how I naturally talk and concentrate on trying to get the details right. If its that irritating for you then I apologize.
I think it may be down to the two different movements this watch had. One I believe was an ETA movement as it came from ETA. And the other is an ETA that Hamilton then upgraded themselves.
@@jasonrouse6912 I only used as dressing watch. I stop wearing for two three months, now it run n stopped. It’s not wearable. I bought it in 2019 it cost $895.
@@thupchod not good. I would understand if you used it for work and it broke. But it stopped working as a dressing watch. I would take it back if it's not even that old and they'll probably repair it or replace. No decent watch maker wants bad publicity. Something definitely wrong with that watch. I'll have to rethink about getting one now.
'really nice kind of like metal strap.' lol it's called a bracelet dude. a stainless steel bracelet. and then you call it a 'workhouse' movement. think you mean 'workhorse'. a workhouse is where homeless poverty stricken people used to have to go for room and board, many years ago, not many nice watches in them places.
Hi Steve, thanks for watching and thanks for watching so intently. Im always making a few gaffs like this in my uploads! I used to obsess about it but I sounded like a robot reading a script, it was not fun to make them like that so it is what it is! Hopefully you still enjoyed the upload
Hey Roger, when my mate Dwight bought this at an AD thats what he paid for it. They must have gone up since then. If you prefer I can change the title although it sounds like you got a good laugh out of it?
@@CasualWatchReviews no, it's fine. Don't change it cause probably at the time, it's was at $600, but when I bought this piece a month ago their weren't to many availiable under $948 online. I bought it on ebay from timepiece at $801 with an offer from $875. Jomashop has it cheaper but I wanted the original warrenty and papers. Thanks
Hi Roger, I have bought a few watches from Jomashop, they have their own warranty for certain things but I would trust it, same with a lot of amazon watches. You get all the papers just not the warranty card and they get the watches usually directly from the manufacturers or ADs, there are a few good uploads on youtube around it. I would say it is honestly worth the savings on a watch like this if your looking again.
Hi Kevin, thanks for the information. I definitely don’t mean the watch is crap, exactly the opposite! Saying Carkey just sounds too posh for my northern background!
Actually according to the inline Cambridge dictionary, carky is British pronunciation, the other way is american english. Several other site state this as well. Even the Ixford site states “kaa kee.
