Hamilton Khaki field mechanical the watch I hated!! 

Beautiful video, really outstanding photography and narration. I am envious of how you convey so much information so concisely. May I ask, what was that lovely snowy landscape on the water? Nice to see CF straps too, they work extremely well with that Hammy. As for the negatives, yeh I agree there, imagine if they had lumed the numerals nice a thick, OMG that would be amazing. Keep up the good work. Cheers, T. P.S. Thank you for the shout out!

Some of y'all kill me complaining about 50m water resistance for a everyday watch. God forbid it gets splashed while you are washing your hands.

For me, I rarely immediately like a watch right out of the box. But after a week or two I’m completely happy and have them worked into the ‘rotation’. Hamilton makes a beautiful watch and my plan is for a day-date version.

Out of the two biggest cons (lack of AR coating and 50m WR) the AR lack of coating doesn't bother me, however I wish it came with with more than 50m of WR so I could comfortably swim with it. The WR is enough for its purpose though, if I'm trudging through the bush on a long hike and fall in a river, or it starts raining I know it will be fine.

I’m truly shocked at how many people appear to have zero idea how deep 50m is 😮 Do you folk realise that an average swimming pool is only 3m deep ? Where are you all going that this watch would be in danger 🤷🏼‍♂️

Awesome visuals as always!! 👌 I've often thought about picking one of these up but whenever I've gone to try one I kind of feel the same way that you used to so alas not pulled the trigger yet maybe this video will give me the nudge that I want/need....

lol dude. It’s a reissue of a military watch that was used in world wars. If you wanted flashy, then why in the hell would you purchase this watch. Also, 50 M is more than most of us will ever need! That’s 164 ft under water! The heritage and the simplicity of this watch, is why we all love it! Not to mention the quality of components and the butter smooth winding (which is second to none).

The watch my dad wore in WWII when he fought with the 29th ID in an amphibious invasion of some consequence was a Hamilton of only 17 jewels, 32mm in width, non-hacking, and only somewhat water resistant. The strap wasn’t a seatbelt NATO either-it was an OD canvas strap. It withstood the violence of combat. And it still runs after nearly 80 years. The invasion was Operation Neptune/Overlord. I would not worry too much about specifications. Most of us baby our watches. Few of us rely on our watches for our lives.

Good points made, I absolutely love mine, but then again field watches are my favourite style of watch. The lack of AR is a bit annoying at the water resistance needed to be better, but other than that. It lives up to the hype in my eyes.

I do feel like almost every Hamilton lacks in the lume department, which is a bummer. I like the field watch design language of this one for sure! Nice vid bro, really well done! 😎🍻👍

What do you think about the KHAKI FIELD EXPEDITION AUTO? Great info. Thanks.

This thing costs 600 where I am ... for a watch without proper water resistance that I have to wind by hand. This is thing is a rip-off.

I don't care about WR, Lume or AR... but those long lugs and the gap it shows when you use a leather strap. Ghasly! But in a nato it looks sweet! I am buying one.

You and I see eye to eye on this piece. For under 500 where will you find a Swiss automatic with such heritage and quality? Lume and AR coating is lacking in all of Hamilton watches including those over a grand price point.

Has it been a year already?! I was so surprised when you didn't like it at first. Glad to see how it grew on you. 👍

Outstanding review. You did a great job summarizing the beauty and simplicity of this piece. I need to add one to my collection! The TGV video on the history of Hamilton is just remarkable as well. Bravo.

OK wow.. Just wow, you completely stepped up the game Miguel! Fantastic video. I love the cinematic pivot.

I think it's good for everyone to have one field watch and/or one flieger but that's about it. Divers an steel-bracelet GADA watches is where it's at.

I love this watch! Thanks for the video! I had the brown one and loved it! I sold it to fund another watch and I quickly regretted it! Now I may buy the white dial! Cheers!

Great video. A constructed review. I've just ordered one to add to my collection. A worthy addition. Great value for money and a good-looking watch.

I have one of these, along with another Hamilton field watch marketed through L.L. Bean and purchased in 1987. These two are the watches I don't part with.

This is the best Video of the Hamilton Khaki Mechanical Field Watch 🤩,thanks Dude 👍🏼.

Great video Miguel! The Khaki Field Mechanical is way high on my wish list!

Great video! I plan on getting one in the white dial variation, love that one.

Very nice video my friend , I just discovered your channel after listening the podcast you made with Fernando. I have been listening your podcasts when driving, I really liked them specially the one you made with just one more watch. It would be nice if you made more with more Mexican and Latin channels. Kind regards

Hi to everyone!! I’m in love with this watch and it’s history and heritage and I’m thinking of getting one but I’m really skeptical when it comes to its crown…I read that it’s really easy to break it while winding it…like because of the fact that they extended their battery to 80 hours this has made the needle inside way smaller hence easier to break it…what do you think? Does this watch comes with the durability that you would expect from a field watch? Thank you all in advance!!

I’m getting one of these, can’t find non conflicting information on showering. I’m a laborer and this watch is about to have a hard dirty life.

I'm saving for my first luxury piece but I might sell something to get one of these... It's got to be the best deal on the market right now and everyone loves it

Love that hammy. The steel version on bracelet is on my radar. Your already know that. 😂 great vid Miguel. Thoroughly enjoyed it my friend. 👍

A watch classic! Wear it in good health and thanks for the review.

Would be good to see the difference vs the islander. Big price difference so interested to hear your thoughts

Liked the video and subscribed to the channel. Your narration reminds me to Relative Time channel. Please keep making watch reviews!

Great production Miguel. Enjoyed it immensely .

Got to agree with you. If this was 100m of water resistance then this would be 💯 package watch.

Hi, I want to buy an watch with a maximum price of $ 600. I was thinking about this; Do you have a suggestion?

This watch would be great, if there's no one huge mistake: these lugs drilled so far from a case, that every two-piece strap looks goofy when you wear the watch. And even with nato straps it looks disbalanced.. This thing really bugs me, especially realizing that Hamilton ruined such beautiful case with such weird decision

Great video review, I really enjoyed your take on the Hamilton Khaki field mechanical. However, I'm just curious to know your wrist size, this 38 mm on wrist does seem to wear rather large for its size, I'm curious to know your thoughts - thanks !

I ordered a khaki mechanical, when i received it i was immediately disappointed by it. The bead blasting is strangely rough almost a pitted finish and you have brushing on random places like the case back and clasp. The whole bracelet felt terrible i don't get why seiko gets flack but this doesn't, i have never had a seiko with this bad of a bracelet even at half the price. I could live with all that but after owning it for a day it already ran 8 seconds fast. I know you shouldn't get a mechanical watch for accuracy but when you spend this much on it you expect it to be better than a cheap seiko, which it wasn't as my past cheap seiko's where all better. This watch had no appeal to me at all so i returned it after a day, something i never done before. Every watch i ever owned i kept for at least a year before selling.

This was great Miguel. Nicely done!

Great review mate getting better and better. Enjoyed the white dial I reviewed quite a lot

Get a long island field watch $199 lots of lume. Shipped from US. In fact every Long island watch has lots of lume.

Awesome video bro! Killing it!

Great vid man! I love that watch. I have the black dial and white dial. I think i prefer the black dial.

I have the Brown Dial version .

mate, tbh, it is weird that you are disappointed about the dial. I mean, you saw videos on the internet and then you bought it. You gotta knew about the dial cuz it is a visible part

Cool glasses!

whats your wrist size?

6-$700? are you kidding??? I've had 2 and both broke on winding. Nope never again. And no I didnt overwind them they broke halfway through the wind up.

almost Every watch company has a military history. Really

Great video my bro I personally love the Hamilton Khaki Field!

05:36 Why do Americans so eagerly make free advertisement for Amazon?

Dude. Great video. 🔥

A 500.00 pass down watch? LOL now thats funny

now it worth +600€

What is your wrist size?

Put it in the oem bracelet. You won’t look back.

lgl=too long for 38mm

What's the point on having a 100 meters water depth resistance for a field watch? That's not an argument. 99% of the populations will never dive more than 4 meters in their life time. 99,999% will definitly never go over 50m, and if they do... guess what, they will use a DIVE watch. If you just need to go for a swim and you can do that just fine. It's one of those thing you say you have but you will never use. Like those ultra dive watches... 600 m. Do anyone knows anyone who has been on a dive that deep. No because no one ever passes 150m on regular industrial saturated diving, and if you go more you can, but I think the record is still on 500 something meters. It's just impossible. So what's the point. To drop the watch on the middle of the ocean and pick it up with an ROV an be happy that it's still working?

don't worry...i bet the poor watch absolutely hated YOU. Is your shower or bathtub 100 meters deep?

I've never understood why these are so popular. Ridiculously long lugs, with crappy AR coating and horrible lume. Not to mention the most boring dial and an ugly dull finishing on the case. 🤢🤮

I still hate it, it's so unreliable

totally DISAGREE!

yeah your favorite watch is the kind of too many stuffs on it, it makes you look like a Power Ranger or some sh!t.
