I sold all of my expensive luxury watches (including my speedy) and now I’m just going with my g shock and this Hamilton 38 mm Khaki auto on bracelet. I have to say, I’m much happier this way!

@EscapementWatch Год назад

Awesome thanks for sharing!

@Tribalius Год назад

Very good decision!

@ewesleye Год назад

Sometimes less is more! I’m trying to downsize as well and just stick with the few that I wear the most. Love to read comments like yours.

@demounit 8 месяцев назад

I have this Hamilton on the black leather bracelet and a gshock gwm5610. they are all I need.

@normang663 11 месяцев назад

This is my first serious watch. But it got out of the rotation for over 2 years. Recently went on a 3 day solo travel and decided to take it with me for old time’s sake. Wow, I now remember why I fell in love with this one. Classic american design language, versatile, wears so great on my 6.5 inch wrist, 80 hours reserve, 100m WR, comfy bracelet. The hamilton khaki auto should be in everyone’s collection. It is not perfect, but you will always find a fault even if you got a million dollar watch. So get it!

@marcosdelima7484 3 года назад

There's something about the way this watch looks that is just hypnotic. I love it, even the bracelet. It's one of the few watches I own that I would never sell.

@m.kennedy342 2 года назад

@@ChaPPie01 Just pick up a sapphire crystal with AR from Crystal Times. CT98 is the item number. That’s what I did and it made a big difference in the overall dial clarity.

@timemeasured9137 3 года назад

The 38mm is the perfect field watch and is much more desirable than the 42mm. The 42mm wears more like a pilots watch but can still work if you like looking at a larger dial. Another great review FallingTitan!!!!

@suleymanthetufekci 3 года назад

It’s interesting though. I went and tried both sizes and although my other three watches are all 42 mm and fits spot on, this watch looked weird on my 7 1/2 inch wrist with that size. Now I’m a tall guy and normally wouldn’t go below 40 but this 38 mm version is very elegant looking and can even be passed as dressy.

@KBD-ONE 2 года назад

I tried on the 42mm today, and it felt big because of the lug to lug length.

@martinrea8548 3 года назад

Ok, I've only had mine for two days now, I got the 40mm version in blue, but so far the accuracy has been insane. I set it against my iPhone clock and it hasn't lost or gained a single second. I'm well impressed. I really like the watch. It's robust and solid, looks good and sits very comfortably on my seven inch wrist. Two areas for improvement might be a screw down crown for extra water security and some anti reflective coating. I don't think it has any. But man, if this new watch maintains this level of accuracy I'll be a very happy Hamilton fan. Good review-I like your friendly style. 👍

@jipke 2 года назад

Agree, also on your points of improvement. I took care of the crystal myself (had a watchmaker replace it with another crystal I found online). Screw-down crown would be good but I'm not sure how easy this would be to mod.

@RedwoodAggie 3 года назад

Such a classic design! I love the "record grooves" too. I am good with the date, and the double 15. I've got no complaints, and also like that it comes in a 42mm for those with bigger wrists. It's a great first Swiss automatic watch for people, in my opinion.

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

An older vid. Some shakey footage...but Hope you all still enjoy. A great field watch for sure. But I think I like my field watches not so thin....maybe a bit more presence? What is your Fav field Watch?

I just bought it, i definitely prefer the thickness as is, even used as a tool watch.

@AlexandreCopper 3 года назад

The bracelet is actually made of two links in the middle, it's not a "line". Which I find nice

@dustinr16 3 года назад

Love the centre links of the bracelet split into 2 pieces. It makes it look different than every other watch bracelet out there. This watch is a superb value. Excellent bracelet, great case, great movement and decent lume. Plan to get one down the road to replace my Seiko SNK field watch.

@zippin1 3 года назад

@JohnBuckmaster-sw3wm 3 года назад

Thanks for the review! I finally pulled the trigger and purchased this one. It’s been on my list for a long time and I’m glad I held out as now it has a 100 m water resistance where as the former model did not. I see some reviews that says the loom is better as well which is a major drawback and some thing that has made me put off getting this one. Here’s to hoping! I have the Sorbo 17 alpinist and now I will have this. I think I’m good on field watches! Now back to buying 3 drivers a month! P.S. I do not mind the 15 being pushed in a bit…

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

Great choice! Congrats on the new timepiece! ⌚

@varghejo 3 года назад

Pulled the trigger on this watch in March and I love it. Probably because of this video too, lol.

@johnhill8529 3 года назад

I have the 42mm version on the oem leather strap. The 15 next to the date is unnecessary, but that’s the only fault I can find. This one probably gets more wear than my Planet Ocean or my Rolex. I’ve got a 42mm Longines Spirit on order as I love the simplicity of this and the Longines.

@mikepurdy3952 Год назад

@mad0uche 3 года назад

All your criticisms are very valid, especially taking out the 15. It's a detail that didn't bother me about my watch until you mentioned it, but it is what it is. I've had it for a while now no regrets.

@bonzostarr Год назад

Just ordered the Hamilton khaki field. Thanks for the info! I’m a musician and my band just made our second vinyl album. The grooves on this watch look like grooves on a vinyl album and I didn’t notice this til after I ordered the watch. Think it’s a sign?

If you have the watch on a strap instead of a bracelet, you definitely benefit from sapphire on the back, since the watch will be resting on a flat potentially scratchy surface often.

@prpapas 2 месяца назад

Nice review of a great watch. I used mine as an every day GADA and it excelled better than any other model I've ever tried that with. I liked the bracelet but agree it looks amazing on pretty much any strap (I had it on a dressy croc as well as a Zulu and both were perfect matches). One question - does it in fact now have AR coating? Every Hamilton field watch I've seen lacks AR which is a shame as the dials are beautiful with excellent legibility, which is compromised imo by the lack of AR coatings.

@EscapementWatch 2 месяца назад

They started to put AR coating recently but it's still very reflective because of the double dome.

@domokun938 3 года назад

My accuracy is a very steady 3s a day consistently. very impressed.

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

i find the dial/crytsal too reflective. they need more AR coating. that's it's only weakness. i also saw a mod with cathedral hour hand which brought it to the next level.

@nicholascurran4290 Год назад

I have a 7” wrist and I can’t pick between the 38 and 42!!! The 38 is classic and wears larger, but I’m intimidated by smaller watches. I also don’t like 15 on the 42.

@EscapementWatch Год назад

38 for sure. It took me a while to go down to smaller watches. But now I enjoy 36mm on my 6.5inch wrist. And when I wear a 38mm I can't believe how HUGE it looks on me. You have to have that "AH-HA Moment" may take awhile

@cyrussataravalla6731 Год назад

Ma786sai dua wonderful video truly. I plan buying one. Do I buy the 42mm automatic or the 38mm automatic? Somehow I’m leaning toward the 42 as I prefer a bigger watch. So both the38 and 42 are reduced 21600 bph right?

Choose the Hamilton 42 version every time guys. It's subjective I know, but the quality and accuracy for the money is outstanding and on my average 7inch wrist the 38 seems a bit too small. My go-to everyday watch when not wearing my Rolex Sub 16610 or Omega Seamaster 300.

Escapement & Watch thanks for going deeper into your reasons. I actually think the oem oyster that’s on the 117 you mentioned is really nice. I know some have mentioned the clasp being flush but it’s certainly not a deal breaker for me. I like the fact that the taper isn’t very big and I do think the alpinist works well on a number of straps. But it depends on the dial colour you choose. The 117 or the newly released 201 look like they’d be easy to pair with various straps. Look forward to your review of the 117, certainly stands out with the different indices. Thanks 🙏
