Hamilton Khaki Field 42MM Review - Captain America's Watch

[@JS-.-]

As I’m watching this, drooling over the Hamilton…you flashed your left hand and have the same watch as me! I’ve got the GW-6900 which I think is the best 6900 variation with the solar and multi band option as well!

[@garycasteel4961]

Great looking watch. Lug to lug is pretty long but wears very well on my 185mm wrist. However, 42mm and a large face make for a very large looking watch.

[@victorio681]

Para mí este maravilloso Hamilton es más un reloj de vestir que una herramienta de campo, sí lo sé, sus clásicas formas, sus números, el dial sobrio, sus 100m…. Pero esa caja y bisel llenos de brillos pulidos en casi todas sus direcciones lo hacen muy muy…sensible a los arañazos. Tengo un Bulova lunar pilot gris cepillado arenado y es mucho más cercano a herramienta aunque tampoco lo sea que éste. No tienes que tener tanto cuidado ya que te costará más rallarlo. Para mí este Hamilton khaki field es uno de Los relojes más preciosos que pueden tener pero es para mimarlo y cuidarlo por ejemplo en un evento o buena cena más que para llevarlo al campo. A no ser que en dos semanas lo lo quieras tener más rallado que una verja. Mi próxima adquisición después de muchos relojes de todo tipo sin duda va a ser este Hamilton, Que usaré en momentos muy selectos. Gran análisis!!!!

i really Love my 42mm too it's gave me a precise punctual time keeper even it's an older version of eta2824-2. but the 42mm version was awesomely my choices instead of the 38mm. thanks for sharing

[@erickonassis6310]

Beautiful, can't stop looking at it

[@TheTimekeeper]

It certainly is.

[@mattwebb5351]

I love this particular model. I bought the 38mm for my wife and I got the 42mm for myself. The leather strap is nice but I got an assortment of 22mm natos to change out over time.

[@TheTimekeeper]

I’m with you. I’m looking for some natos myself for it.

[@dazlarg]

Hi mate does you watch fee grindy when you wind it,, looking to purchase one myself

[@whoknows8678]

No, mine winds very smoothly with a nice resistance sturdy feel.@@dazlarg

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

Got the 38 and love it. I generally hate leather straps but have found the black to be quite comfortable.

[@TheTimekeeper]

The 38 is probably the better size and it’s a better representation of field watches of that era.

[@andywilliams4887]

I have owned this exact version for a year and it's my favourite beater watch. Well built, attractive, textured very clear dial, decent strap and keeps great time. The lume is the only let down, but at £365 an easy purchase. Great on a NATO strap. The 38 mm version was too small for my wrist.

[@HdHd-cg4nz]

@Andy Williams Hi there where did you pick this up for £365 ?

[@HdHd-cg4nz]

@Andy Williams Cheers mate. I’ll be purchasing one of these in the coming weeks. It will be my xmas present to myself. All the best mate.

[@andywilliams4887]

@@HdHd-cg4nz Enjoy getting your Xmas present and pleasure to help Sir! I have mine on today as it happens.

[@David-vt1dd]

Hi Andy, where did you find this price? Thanks

[@dazlarg]

Hi does your watch fee grindy when you wind it?

[@webvideofan]

I agree, some watches are strap watches, and this is definitely one of them.

[@TheTimekeeper]

I'll probably put on a nato strap one day to see how it looks but yeah definitely a strap watch.

[@scrhunter3901]

Cool video. Thanks. Love the watch because the second hand looks so cool and this watch is elegant but with understatement. 👌🏻

[@The_Crazy_Monkey75]

would have been great if they put this model on a 40mm instead of a big 42mm. That's why the 40mm Khaki King is the perfect size. I have the 38mm size of this model. Although I can still pull this 42mm off on my small wrist since the bezels are thick which makes the dial smaller, unlike the same-sized 42mm Hamilton Pilot Day Date which has a big dial and very thin bezels.

[@TheTimekeeper]

Totally agree! I wish they made an intermediate size.

[@DxPxOfficial]

Some people have said that they had issues with condensation, like from just washing their hands. Have you had any issues like that?

[@swiss86watches]

Great review love everything you said about this watch I traded my 42 for 38 mm 😅

[@TheTimekeeper]

I have thought of doing the same thing and with a 38. Maybe I will one day.

[@emrahustuner7899]

Thanks so much for the video. Very nice watch. 👍

[@TheTimekeeper]

No problem. Thank you!

[@petehamada7073]

Yea, I think it looks like the type of watch you wear while camping or hunting. The second hand is very nice

[@TheTimekeeper]

You put on a nato or rubber strap and it would be in its element.

[@jovianleong4651]

What is the strap width that I should get for my strap modification? I have the 42mm as well. Should I get 20mm or 22mm?

[@TheTimekeeper]

I think it’s 22 for the 42.

[@lowersaxon]

The champaign dial is very nice as well but sometimes not that legible, I fear. And a field watch thats not legible under all circumstances is no field watch at all, right? I think you are right with the strap, btw. What about the reflection of the crystal? I‘ve heard that can be quite annoying with some Hamiltons.

[@TheTimekeeper]

The black dial is really nice. No issues with legibility in my opinion. Reflections are not a problem for me.

[@dazlarg]

Can you tell E what your watch feels like to wind .. I know it’s an auto but i hand wound one in my ad the other day and it felt gritty and not buttery at all .. are they all Like that??

[@TheTimekeeper]

The wind is fine. It’s not the best in the world but it’s far from the worst.

[@dazlarg]

@@TheTimekeeper right ok? Does it feel a little grindy tho? I’m used to my speedmaster wind which is buttery smooth and my Tudor bb58 which is a dream also.. the Hamilton felt worse than my seiko king turtle even .. I was quite surprised… so is that normal for these ?

[@philmunson7773]

Great video!

[@TheTimekeeper]

Thank you!

[@dazlarg]

Hi have u ever tried the 38 mm khakis.. I just wondered as I too have a 7 1/4 wrist and trying to decide which model to get..

[@TheTimekeeper]

If I had to buy it again, I would go with the 38.

[@dazlarg]

@@TheTimekeeper can I ask why?

[@TheTimekeeper]

The lug to lug on the 42 is pretty long. Also, the 38 is more true to the size of field watches from post ww2. Even a 38 would have been considered big back then. If you like wrist presence, you’ll like the 42 but I’d wager the 38 wears closer to a 39.

[@dazlarg]

@@TheTimekeeper I see I’m Looking at the khaki field Mechanical too as a more tooly option As I already have smarter watches.. did u look at any of them for aesthetics and size?

[@tunglethanh8998]

My wrist is 17.3cm. Which size i can go with sir?

[@TheTimekeeper]

I probably recommend the 38mm unless you like the look of a big watch.

[@gestapo81]

i also have a 7.25 wrist. do you think i should get the 38 or 42mm?

[@TheTimekeeper]

I would probably go for the 38.

[@gestapo81]

@@TheTimekeeper thank you!

[@princerobk5405]

38 is way too small

[@danielhovet5675]

Can someone please put a link to a screenshot from the Avengers 2012 movie, of captain america wearing hamilton khaki field? I can't find one frame on the movie of him wearing the watch

[@TheTimekeeper]

It’s a very lame cameo. It’s actually in a deleted scene and the watch isn’t clear in the shot. I don’t know how Hamilton can take credit for it. See 2:49. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqDZZaSDiMuab9k
