Was my first really good watch and I can't even begin to tell you how much I love it. I've had it for a few years now and I've worn it just about every day since I bought it at the end of 2016. Works with literally any outfit.

Another good review Jody....I was so pleased to hear the recent news about Lewis Hamilton losing his 3 year court battle trying to stop Hamilton using their name as their trade mark ....a company that has been going since 1892!....what a plonker!....nice watch btw :)

I thought you were joking. But no, you weren't. I googled it and yes , as crazy as it sounds. Lewis Hamilton actually sued them. What in the actual...

A friend of mine bought me the quartz version with the day date at the 3:00. I don't even mind that it's a quartz, you should all have at least one. But you did a great job in showing just how beautiful that dial is. And you're right, when I have it out in the sunshine, I just stare at how much light play there is. It is a beautiful watch.

I’ve learned to appreciate Hamilton more and more. I have the Khaki Field Mechanical because nothing says Field like mechanical. And I also just bought this watch. But not because it was in a movie. It truly is a beautiful yet minimal design. Everyday watch for sure. Can be dressed up or down. Ticks all boxes for me. I’ll continue to add Hamilton to my collection

What an absolutely beautiful watch. It has the finish of elegance while also having the foundation of a tool watch. I have been thinking about this watch non stop since I saw your review so I am expecting mine to arrive next week lol.

[@DanOehlsen]

I purchased mine from Jomashop about 3 years ago. They truly are the goto watch dealer as far as I'm concerned. The watch is everything you make it out to be. Mine is on the leather strap rather than the bracelet. It's a great alternative to a diver as a sporty everyday wear.

[@DanOehlsen]

At your recommendation I bought one, and I must say it´s just stunning. Running perfect, a shame to far more expensive and maybe more flashy watches. I already found out about the strange finish to the dial/ indexes.... Although the numbers seem to appear/ disappear on the angle of light applied, they grasp for almost any ray of light they can get in the cockpit or a car, resulting in excellent readability. Just move it a small bit, and there´s loom in the pit. Nice one Hamilton, I´m loving it.... ❤

I own a Hamilton Khaki Field automatic and it's one of my favorites. Beautiful, and the accuracy of the movement is amazing. I've been thinking about buying another, as well as a type B flieger. This just might scratch both itches. And yes, my Khaki Field suffers from the same AR deficiency as this one, but I can compensate for that just fine. Thanks for the review.

[@mariog7213]

I don’t think they’re underrated at all. At least not the field watches. I think that they’ve hit a home run with their newer releases like the intra matics

[@andyc6736]

Interestingly, nobody talks about this interesting feature when it comes to the Powermatic 80 movements: These come with a free sprung balance which has two eccentric adjustable weights on the arms which lets you (if you have the proper tool and knowledge) fine-adjust this movement better than an ETA28XX! I have a Khaki King P80 and it performs like a Chronometer.

[@josephtorres12]

Just received mine from Jomashop. There were two specs of dust underneath the crystal. We will see how jomashop handles it. Beautiful watch hopefully they can make it right.

[@lukerabin5079]

I bought the white face version, but with a quartz movement as a travel watch, mainly because it’s accurate and gets 200m water resistance, so it can be taken everywhere. AND... I bought it from Jomashop, which gets to me in Sydney fast and cheap. I can’t recommend the watch and the dealer too highly.

I agree, they have got that spot on. Crown guards fantastic. Love the bracelet, when the leather strap goes on my Flieger I'm going that route.

[@edteach3r]

This is an awesome watch, Jody. I have had this Pilot Day Date in my collection for over two years and it is truly one of the most comfortable watches I have ever worn on my 7.5” wrist. For some reason, the bracelet just disappears when wearing the watch. I am a sci-fi geek too and I love “Interstellar” (all Nolan movies, to be honest). Therefore I just had to add the Murph (with the limited Tesseract box 😀) to join the Coop in my collection. Thanks for the review.

Love the film and have always wanted a Hamilton to join my collection. Good for an office daily on 7.4 in. wrist? I don’t like wearing the higher end stuff to work functions so feel like this could be a great happy medium as long as it doesn’t wear too big or look cluttered.

[@alfonso4955]

I got the Murph which is a gorgeous watch and I think this will be my next once I get some pennies together. Unlike the khaki king auto which fits on my 7.5 inch wrist like a kids sized watch I prefer the dimensions on the Murph and this one. Agreed, I wish Hamilton would start using AR coating on their watches!

[@jodyclaborn]

Thanks! I’ve been looking at this one close lately along with the Navy Pioneer. It’s a hard decision for me.

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

Navy Pioneer is a grail for me. The Marine Chronometer look is perfect for casual and dress. I love the wire lugs with the hidden spring bars. But it is the 100m that makes it a great watch all round. Of course the only downside is no lume but the white dial and dark hands work.

[@SiDCrAzY]

I have the Navy Pioneer and I'm about to sell it for this one. I love my Navy Pioneer, but this one fits my collection a little better at the moment.

[@edteach3r]

Good luck with your decision... they are both awesome watches. I own the Pilot and simply adore it. I am a Hamilton fanboy with (too?) many in my collection, but love to add the Navy Pioneer as well.

[@3rdstone1]

I really like how they managed to add quite some details on the classic type B flieger dial without looking cluttered. Another example (quartz though) is Escapement Time who put two sub dials and a date window at six o'clock, making it a flieger/chronograph hybrid and it looks great. Of course way below this price range though.

[@Mrbumbons1]

Mine broke out of the box. Day was off center and never came back to center. Sent it back. Love the watch and it’s out of production.

[@lliameasterbrook6634]

There was a time when no watches had anti reflective coating. Somehow, we all struggled by.

[@SkolI.]

But there was a time we had no sapphire, and mineral was less reflective than sapphire is, so yes we kind of need a bit more of the anti reflective coating with a sapphire if you don't want to struggle everytime you want to read the time if the light isn't going the right way around your watch

It's a very good watch. I used to own one. I wonder if it would be better if Hamilton were to use a three letter day wheel instead of the full day. If they did, they might have been able to fit in the 55 and 5 on the dial.

[@RickDeckardMemories]

I have a couple of Hamiltons with this 80-hour movement. Mine are very accurate (like this one) ... but they better be, because it is my understanding they can't be easily adjusted. If you look at the back, the traditional adjustment setup is missing.

[@philspencelayh5464]

Looks great makes a fleiger a sensible option with the day and date. Day at twelve never gets obscured like it does on a Seiko 5 (never realised how often you look for the day at quarter past). Not sufficiently different to my Khaki King to spend that kind of money on one. The extra reserve isn't a big enough benefit to trade off the smooth second hand. If I am not wearing a watch for three days it's probably In the box and It's something else's turn.

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

This is a daily wearer for an alternative to a dress watch for work.or a smart casual which looks good with jeans or a suit. The lume doesn't really have to be brilliant for those conditions. If I am doing anything physical or in outdoor conditions I'd wear my Elliott Browns which are now being issued to the Special Boat Service and which are popular with UK soldiers in general. If I am driving at night I wear something with more lume, an SKX or my Lumetec Combat The only downsides to this are the anti reflection and the proprietary nature of Hamilton movements.

[@halfpastblog]
