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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.
