Hamilton has held the title of the king of field watches for the past century by maintaining the look and performance it established during World War I.
Under the Swatch Group umbrella since 1974, the brand has kept the iconic Khaki Field Watch collection competitive with technical updates. However, the appearance has respectfully stuck to a well-established design language.
Straying from that well-loved and time-tested design language is risky, but Hamilton has pulled it off masterfully with a new special edition dial. The texture is an icy blue and white, meant to emulate the surface of Alpine glaciers.
Because the dial texture is so extraordinary for the Khaki Field collection, Hamilton’s design team was wise enough to keep every other visual element in line with existing models.
This 38mm Khaki Field Mechanical has a bead-blasted stainless steel case with a signed crown. The dial markings and hands match the current format used throughout the Mechanical line.
It comes with a pair of nylon NATO straps. One is solid blue and matches the strap paired with the standard blue dial Khaki Field Mechanical, and the other is blue with a white stripe.
