Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Auto Watch Review | aBlogtoWatch

[@AyeJay99]

The watch is great but the titanium inscription on the side seems to cheapen it in my opinion.

[@ChiHoKo]

+JHUMAD BHRO™ ya, its a bit sad that they did that...

[@ADcrackerjack]

+JHUMAD BHRO™ Exactly my thoughts.

[@liudizzle]

+Bill Hill i was looking to buy this until I saw that :(

[@shaggylocs232]

+Bill Hill paint it black problem solve

[@CerealKiIIer]

I have the watch and you don't really notice it.

[@555Gear]

Excellent to see the khaki offered in titanium. Personally I find the PVD and etching on the side of the case out of character for this watch, even with the movie connection. But I would be very interested in it if they offered it in a blasted in case.

[@NicolasLopez-gy5rg]

Got mine about a week ago and I love it, it doesn't look like a $1,000 watch but it is and it's so rugged and tough I love it

[@4gegtyreeyuyeddffvyt]

Nicolas Lopez beautiful watch! How are you liking it so far ?

[@dezent]

why would they write titanium on the side? looks cheap.

[@artyomkomarov9534]

Honestly, you don't see this word when watches is on your wrist. It's not a trouble for owners.

[@steven3379]

dezent Correct as I can attest to, it's a great watch, the only thing I'm not crazy about is the instructions on winding and setting it they are kinda vague in is there a time when you should not set the date and time to avoid damaging the movement?

[@john-carlosynostroza]

Hamilton puzzles me. Seems like they have really great design almost all around but they always end up doing something weird or stupid like riding Titanium on the case...? Zoinks

[@MM-qv5lf]

john-carlos ynostroza They are riding the case? How can you ride a watch case? It's physically impossible. 😉

[@porschephile2k3]

Yeah, should've just etched or written it on the non-glass part of the case back.

[@Triplekia]

I honestly feel that the titanium wording on the side of the watch "cheapened" the watch. Also, the date window bothers the harmony of the dial. Get rid those two and IMO, the watch would look more attractive.

[@pablocruise678]

Just bought mine today!!! Gorgeous timepiece !!! FINALLY!😍👌

[@tomasinacovell4293]

Why PVD Black instead of a DLC finish, wouldn't DLC be longer lasting and wear away far more gracefully, like a LED touche's aluminum or steal case body?

[@andy1209na]

very nice watch and very informative video, my only comment and dislike about it is that you were moving the watch a little too fast for anyone to really appreciate it. take your time, and keep up the good work.., thanks

[@TheSouthpawSoldier]

I can't stand how the date window cuts off the 3. Such an ugly design choice. Either move the date window over to the left or remove the 3 all together.

[@dedesurachman10]

TheSouthpawSoldier yeah, It really bothers me :(

[@glendaly6367]

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I've never seen anything like that. I think they could have just eliminated the three. It's not as though you wouldn't know it's 3 o'clock.

[@avrila7447]

Glen Daly dkekzkaoKZz

[@ottoposhner9000]

Then don’t buy it. To each his own go complain elsewhere

[@ryanfowler9176]

Id be willing to bet my next paycheck that Hamilton thought of all this way before you, and decided this is what looked best. How would they move date? The only way to do that would be using a larger movement to fit the 42mm case. I bet removing the 3 all together left a strange looking blank spot on the dial. While I agree it's not the best design choice, I guarantee it looks better than the alternative.

[@abbath1586]

Can you do a review on the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date, also known as the "Interstellar"?

[@paulojpcarvalho74]

Nice watch! Do you know if they have this model in 38mm for small wrists?

[@juny007325]

nice review. sir can it be scratch and lost the black color??

[@MystikEssence]

I've said this before, but I look forward to every time James Stacey does a review!

[@jamestacey]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@diokas]

Can you use this watch for some diving? Proper use it while swimming? What about this particular strap in water

[@tstu1701]

Neat. But pretty hard to watch because the watch is never still.

[@ArslanAndArslan]

I feel light headed 😂 had to pause the video to see if it has a seconds hand

[@andy1209na]

you' ve mentioned durability. i have had my fair share of titanium watches, but how does it holds up againts scratches? does it shows really bad being it is also in pvd color..?

[@Nayr747]

James, you said the lining is rubber, but it says calf leather on it. Do you know which one it actually is?

[@jamestacey]

Textured canvas strap with a leather lining.

[@Nayr747]

Thanks. I wish it was rubber though.

[@vitolucci636]

whats the water resistant depth ? can you swim with it ?

[@giuseppeleone6917]

Excellent to see the khaki offered in titanium.

[@Kamikazekman]

If the date number was blacked out with white numbers like you would've liked, the date would've been lost next to the "15" and cause just that slight initial confusion when looking at the date. The white date isn't too out of place IMO. Great watch. A Hamilton is definitely on my foreseeable wish list!

[@MichaelGarcie]

James, I tend to bump my watch a lot. Which do you think would hold up better, this one or the Ocean 7 LM4 V2 that you reviewed?

[@Moedy1]

Those are two choices I'm looking at as well. The LM4 would definitely hold up better being ceramic. I wish hamilton made a ceramic watch. Did you end up buying either?

[@MichaelGarcie]

I ended up going with one that is brushed titanium. I almost went wet the Ocean 7 but it was sold out at the time.

[@paulmicrons8416]

looks nice and from his side of the screen it looks easy to read. price ?

[@paulmicrons8416]

ok caught the price

[@elbowroomtube]

Hi. Great site. Thanks for the reviews and expertise. I have a question regarding a screw down crown compared to push pull. Assuming you have two watches that are equally rated for 100 meters, would not the screw down offer a greater sense of water resistance just by design? Or can a push pull be equally as secure? Can you explain the design of a push pull and how it works with regards to water resistance? Is the design of some push pulls better than others? Thanks very much.

[@PanosMk_GR]

in my eyes... just perfect , but i wish it was day-date and not the date in 3 position . great stealth look , best lum and like the "titanium" too ...

[@hamradiocomms]

Really excellent review of this watch, keep up the good work.

[@enzod]

Thank you your video! I'd like buy one of khaki titanium but I'm afraid that the black color will be fade; what do you think about? thank you your help. vincenzo

[@kendallarkema312]

I've worn this everyday for a year and it still looks brand-new.

[@JohnVKaravitis]

How loud is the ticking? Timex watches are horrifically loud when it comes to ticking.

[@sebastian-daquanglocknerjr1883]

star999nine mechanical movements tick, just at a much higher rate than quartz

[@sebastian-daquanglocknerjr1883]

star999nine definitely not horrific. a quartz watch i can hear several feet away, while my 'beater' mechanical watches (a steinhart o1vr with eta 2824, khaki field with 2824, and a seiko 5 with a 7s26 ) a very faint ticking sound can be heard when held to my ear.

[@nls8520]

Winner. I have not been so interested in a watch in a while.

[@winteric]

That'd go nice with an HK

[@eyaidghanim7431]

Great Review on a Great Watch!

[@ACafe141]

Anyone know what grade titanium this is?

[@ryanfowler9176]

That strap never breaks in. Most uncomfortable strap ever, definitely going to want to buy an extra strap.

[@Guderian1939]

that's a beautiful watch. well shown too.

[@tststststststs]

Hi James, Thank you for the great review.I absoluteky love the style of this watch. I am a student and Just can't afford to spend this much on a watch. Do you know of any similar watches? I hoped you would be able to guide me in the right direction. Tom

[@jamestacey]

Hi Tom, Hamilton makes a variety of watches with a similar style (generally called a "field watch" within their Khaki Field line. I would start by checking out more from Hamilton on their site.

[@BeckVMH]

Old post, but for those still viewing these comments, do a web search and click images. There is always a wide variety of choices for all budgets.

[@Gravy_Master]

I just started getting really into watches in the last year or so and subscribed to your KZbin channel a few days ago. You definitely have THE BEST channel as far as I'm concerned for watches. I have been considering a Hamilton Khaki automatic and was literally about to order one today but I held back. I've read a few reviews here and there about people owning ones that are rated to 100m water resistance and have gotten condensation under the crystal just from swimming or getting the watch a little wet in the sink. Do you know anything about this or have you heard it's an issue? I am not wealthy and spending 4 or 5 hundred bucks on a watch is nothing petty for me, so I would be livid if I wasted that cash on a defective watch.

[@benldr]

I'm in the exact same position as you. There are lots of reviews on amazon stating the same thing. Some people claim it is due to the crown not being pressed in. That's why the reviewer in this video mention that it doesn't have a screw down crown. Whether or not it is a defect or if it is operator error remains to be seen. I know that if I'm going to be scuba diving or even swimming that I will be using my G-shock. Why risk it. Whatever you do, never take any watch of any kind in a hot tub.

[@Gravy_Master]

+Ben Leader Yeah I did a bunch more research and thinking and ended up ordering a Seiko sarg011 instead. It should be delivered in the next couple of days - if you're interested I'll reply here and give you my impressions.

[@benldr]

+RandMan14 ok, let me know! So it's that bad with the Hamilton?

[@Gravy_Master]

Is it that bad with the Hamilton? I honestly don't know; I've never owned one or even seen one in person to be honest. The things that led me to choose the Seiko were: 1) The potential for the Hammy to get water inside it just from rain or washing your hands, and the nightmares that have apparently ensued with people not being able to get them properly repaired. 2) The Khaki Auto comes in either 38mm or 42mm. 38 is too small for me for this style of watch and 42 would be ok except for the fact that on the 42 the date window is plopped in a really weird spot (this is a common complaint). The Seiko is a 40mm which is perfect. 3) The Hamilton looks a little plain. Don't get me wrong - it's a handsome watch. But a lot of people have complained about the honeymoon ending quickly and then really soon it's just a plain, boring watch that you don't get thrilled to have on your wrist. 4) That bright red second hand on the Seiko. Oh man do I have a thing for that second hand!

[@benldr]

+RandMan14 those are some of my same concerns I had. I don't think you can go wrong with the SARG. I've just had my eye on Hamilton watches for a long time, but I also need a 42mm+ case diameter. I've been looking at Orient watches as well. Yoy can biy the Orient flight is $129.00. It has a 22,000 beat rate and a screw down crown. Cons, no hacking and no skeleton case back. Not too sure on the reliability either, but it is supposed to be a good movement and from some of the reviews I have seen on Hamilton it may be a good gamble. All that being said, I've heard of Seiko autos going for 15 years without service. The Orient Bambino also looks like a great watch. It's just a little more difficult to find the larger diameter cases for my 7.5 in wrist. let me know you impressions of the SARG.

[@adrianarnsvik8134]

Hi! How thick are your wrists?

[@74LOK91]

Yeah, I'd also like to know that, since in the Video the watch is already on it's tightest! =)

[@yukosaturno]

Adrian Arnsvik 7 inches

[@74LOK91]

yukosaturno thanks! But I bought it anyways, still very happy with it! Unbelievably comfortable! It's rather loud though =)

[@yukosaturno]

***** oh,i really want it,please make me a mini-review here about it... i have for now a rolex daytona in steel from 2004 and a brazilian brand quartz dress watch in rose gold and i want to add this to my colection as an every day watch...

[@74LOK91]

Okay, just so you know to what I compare it. My main watch is a rado hyperchrome xxl (ceramics) - i bought the hamilton, with the same intention as you (because I already have scratches on the rado!!) I wore the hamilton during my yearly army service(3weeks) and in any other occasion. It is really loud, I hear it when it's quiet, or when it lies directly on the night stand (or through a pillow), but I'm really happy with it. It still has absolutely no scratches on it and it is very light! The leather is awesome, it's still in perfect condition even after wearing it on hot days(sweat) and in the water(not saltwater!) I have to say I find it even more comfortable than the rado on hot days! Which to me really isn't usual with a leather watch. It's great in the dark and looks good overall. I realized that it runs a bit fast, I think. At least everytime I switch watches it's ahead. And of course - compared to a rolex, no one will see the value of this watch (same with the rado =)) -but I like it that way

[@woooose]

I loved this watch but the glare was so unbearable I had to send it back. I don't think there is a single watch on the market with more glare than this one. Definitely look into that before buying it, lots of people have gotten rid of it for that very reason.

[@jrodriguezquiros]

Very nice video, very informativa of all relevan aspects. Thanks. Can you indicate the price?

[@alpinestarsssss]

This or Victorinox Airboss Black Edition?

[@autotitslinger]

I admire your extensive knowledge of the components within the watch but I haven't been able to find a dark blue face which is very appealing to me but I still love the design of Hamilton but I also haven't been able to decide which watch I want. Right now i'm stuck trying to decide between a Hamilton aviation date and day and a Tissot PRC 200 date and day. I know that the Hamilton aviation is more expensive having 25 jewels and 100M water resistance while the Tissot PRC 200 only has 23 jewels yet supposedly has a more advanced mechanism found on more expensive watches from the little information I have been able to find. Some say that the Tissot is of lesser quality at lower prices between $500 $750 price range but I dont really know If the technicalities I listed are what matter. I also have noticed that Tissot seem to be cheaper overall compared to Hamilton for the same function other than water resistance which goes to Tissot but Like I said I really dont know. From what I provided about Tissot In addition to your knowledge in general, do you know any mechanical differences that would put one in front of the other in terms of accuracy and longevity?

[@Markericak]

Big omission for not having a screw down crown.

[@bhimraos2864]

Great review. Good watch. Cost of this please

[@atl3630]

Awesome review.

[@Moedy1]

Hamilton needs to make a ceramic watch priced under $1500. They would sell tons of them

[@Moedy1]

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at their line of watches and they have some nice watches but nothing similar to the style of a hamilton. The ceramic cases they have look dressy which doesn't really suit the benefit of having a ceramic watch. I'm looking for one that is military or pilot inspired for a daily watch. So far the only one that fits the category is the Christopher Ward C1000 but it's still a bit high for what it is in my opinion. If you have any more suggestions I appreciate it and like that you and James Stacey review watches that are quality for the money rather than status symbols.

[@74LOK91]

Moedy1 ***** I just ordered this watch here. But I've got the Rado Hyperchrome court xxl because I also wanted the ceramic watch and the matt black design. I have to say I love my Rado and it's a beautiful watch, but it is so annoying because you have fingerprints and all over it. And it also got a scratch on the lunette - I honestly never touched a wall or anything, since Rado says it is such a tough watch I am rather disappointed of it. Besides the power-reserve is 38h which I also think is simply not enough for a watch of 4,5k swiss francs. Just wanted to let you guys know of my expirience =)

[@simonboev]

Nice video.,price ?

[@jamestacey]

As mentioned at 6:41 - $995.

[@365SEVA]

Great review!

[@Antharas007]

Military watch?

[@peterjg]

Thanks for the excellent review James. This looks like a watch that would be easy to live with every day. Nice!

[@jamestacey]

Glad you liked it!

[@lorbat]

I cannot see 3 digit hidden by date. It would have been better to omit date or 3 digit. IMHO

[@noodle_knot]

you should do a small series explains how watches are construed, elaborating for those of us who have no clue as to why they use the pink jewels

[@lowvoltedc7380]

I really enjoy James' reviews, not that I don't enjoy Ariel's because those are excellent also but it's nice to hear from other knowledgeable enthusiasts as well. Keep up the good work fellas as I greatly enjoy these videos!

[@jamestacey]

Glad to hear you like the videos, we will keep them coming!

[@АртёмГирин-п7й]

Хорошие часики!Сколько стоят?

[@artyomkomarov9534]

Два года назад, были приобретены мной у официального дилера Hamilton в Москве (Conquest) за $1000. Сейчас ввиду невнятной ценовой политики Swatch Group при курсовой волатильности в России, их стоимость существенна снижена, и в долларовом эквиваленте составляет около $650. Для новых покупателей, полагаю это хорошо.

[@dennisberceles7387]

To: Hamilton Please make Hamilton Titanium automatic black or pvd (time only) watches in 38mm. Asians almost always have small wrists. Hoping for your consideration. Will wait for it this 2021.

[@pictionary_cheat]

And still waiting

[@charlesh3362]

Beautiful watch

[@BudokonUniversity]

Bought one and it broke within a year. Repared it for $500, then the back broke within 3 years due to cheap materials (rubber). Don't waist your money.

[@indytim]

Why did it cost you $500 to repair the watch when Hamiltons come with two-year warranties? Did you purchase it from a grey market retailer? If so, they are often 'Frankensteins' due to being serviced/previously repaired with cheap third-party components.

[@reynaldoflores4522]

Don't take your nice watch to the corner watch repair shop. Take it to the authorized shop.

[@bearjk1982]

Nice watch and Nice review. Wanna have one

[@jamestacey]

Thanks!

[@jasonamoako9729]

is this antimagnetic

[@Lowkeyman5184]

Orient had made field watch with a screw down crown it would be nice if hamilton do the same..this could be perfect to me if it has the white stainless steel or sand blasted steel version..and could ne nicer to me if its hackable..

[@sfeldman1953]

very professional review. thanks....

[@Giantpandaspeppers]

Today, I realized that I am douche bag. After he said, "the accuracy of this movement is frankly, outstanding. It ran within just a couple seconds a day", I paused to analzye that statement, a second later found myself nodding my head in agreement at how impressive that is in this price range. A couple of seconds...hahahaha

[@ZucaluDucado]

Lindo exemplar!

[@boysenberry412]

Hmm how about that lum

[@hansima0573]

beautiful whatch

[@gunshooter26]

ok.. i want one...

[@gunshooter26]

never mind i dont have a thousand dollars...

[@dennisberceles7387]

Its better that "Titanium" word was inscripted on the watch, to prove that its not pvd at all.

[@chrisevans4712]

No doubt this is a great watch but it the review i have issue with, slating other brands isn't a great move, I have several other brands of pvd watches, not cheap but cheaper than this, that have excellent pvd coatings and unsurprisingly get a pvd crown. If your making these statements you need to back up with facts

[@scottmassie8981]

As far as the watch worn in the movie,, Horse Shit! it was shown only once for a about 3 seconds! The rest of the time the watch actually worn had a silver bezel.

[@jonbudi]

I prefer hamilton tatanium khaki watch with no date...

[@user-bo8yt4uc8b]

That would be perfect watch for me if it came without that horrible "TITANIUM" text on the side of the case ☹️

[@reynaldoflores4522]

You can easily scratch it or paint it off.

[@ragaetsenna2852]

oh my god what a lovely watch

[@dennisberceles7387]

It's ok and nice to see the word "Titanium" inscripted, it's like wearing a denim blue jeans with "LEVI'S" name on it. Otherwise you can't tell which one is alien or not.

[@reynaldoflores4522]

Yes. I like the "Titanium", too. I'm only concerned that it might get worn off with time.

[@schreedzz4311]

Anyone from supernatural

[@liudizzle]

TITANIUM

[@huetuber1204]

DAMNIT! Will you keep the watch fucking still when you're holding it? You keep flipping it back & forth & back & forth. Some people want to stare at the face of the watch while listening to you talk. I mean, you don't buy a watch because it looks fantastic from the back!
