The Only Watch You Need: Hamilton Khaki Murph 38mm

[@monochromios]

Yes, Britney! Please make a whole video on cathedral hands. I adore cathedral hands on my watches! Cathedral hands and firing fingers ;) Hamilton straps are really the house's weak point. I hated my Khaki Field until I put it on a Nato strap. Thank you for sharing.

[@ottokonrad6260]

I just ordered a replacement black alligator strap for the watch. The strap that comes with the watch is very hard to buckle.

[@monochromios]

​@ottokonrad6260 it is very annoying. My Brown PVD Khaki Mechanical came with a "leather" Nato that looked like a Swatch bracelet, more plastic than leather. The Khaki Automatic I bought many years ago came with a very poorly made bracelet, I could not use it. A good strap/bracelet makes a good watch. I love the Murph, but knowing I have to buy add to the cost a third party bracelet stops me from buying it. Details count

three things: 1. I really want this watch. 2. I would love a Gringa mini-doc/ video essay about Cathedral hands. Don't hold back, go for it please! and 3. 5:27 , 11:01-- Bless you.

[@buildingbread]

I sat down, watched the movie for the first time, and bought the watch for my 35th birthday in October. LOVE IT! Cathedral hands 🔥, and it's one time I don't miss having a date.

[@TheRealMikeEdwards]

I love my Murph! Coming from using a Garmin Fenix 6X (Huge 51mm), I initially was a little taken aback by the 38mm Hamilton. I thought it was way too small. Thank God I asked my brilliant and wise wife what her thoughts were and she said it looked great on my 6.5 inch wrist. I'm glad I listened to her. Everytime I look at it, I smile. It's my first "serious" watch purchase. Some bash Hamilton and claim their watches to be "overrated!" To each his own. I bought the watch because I thought it was beautiful and a great start for me. Thanks Britney! Love your videos!

[@bullnose01]

Don't apologize, Britt. Cathedral hands are the apex of form and function. They look good, provide excellent readability and allow for maximum lume.

[@moctzal]

I’m here for the Murph! Love mine! Let’s about cathedral hands! I think they’re a wonderful intersection of design and practicality!

[@matspersson5188]

I own the black dial version. Absolutely love it.

[@AZadeh-nd8vx]

Totally agree with you on the watch straps being important, especially if it's a metal bracelet. Omega really let themselves down with their sharp, uncomfortable bracelets and its one of the reasons Rolex feels a tier above them on the wrist. I use the analogy of watches being like Sandwiches (bear with me!). People focus so much on the filling in a sandwich (the watch) and forget about the bread (the bracelet). The bread is like 80% of the sandwich and is just as inporant as the filling. A sandwich can be ruined by bad cheap bread. The same with a bracelet - it can ruin the wearing experience of a great watch as it's 80% of how it feels on the wrist.

[@omarramos4535]

Yes, Britt… You wanna do it and we wanna watch it :) 4:40

[@freakmuller8077]

Of course we would like a full video on cathedral hands!Hi from Italy and thanks for everything

@5:15 One tip, when breaking in the strap, if you have a watch roll, strap it on a bit tighter than normal when you're not wearing it.

[@markpratt7505]

The little one was definitely the star of this video 😊

[@markbkjaer]

Cathedral hands video, yes!

[@WAMwatches]

Had to pause… we need a cathedral hands video, you Brittany, are the hero we need! Also, the black dial version will be my first Swiss watch. This bad boy is going to hold things down while I search for my first high end luxury watch.

[@bogrot69]

I picked my 42mm up back when they had the funky Intersteller boxes available. Still one of my favorite watches.

[@stevebarnes9694]

Really well done review. The movie was a perfect piece of cinematic art. Hamilton was the right choice for this masterpiece.

[@patrickkelly1070]

I bought the Coop, as worn by Matthew McConaughey, right after seeing the movie ten years ago. Never really wanted the Murph, until I finally saw one in person a year ago. Then, I had to have it. You're right, it's a great stand alone watch

[@davidsandrovitch7635]

I see the murph as a field watch. It reminds me of my equally gorgeous Maopin and Webb Campaign small seconds, with over 100 years of history. The Campaign is now 40mm, (smaller in the past) but looks smaller. One of my favourite watches. Your Murph looks great on you, Britt, especially the way you are wearing your shirt. 😂

[@TerrySteiner]

I have never seen Interstellar (I know I should). I am just bringing it up because I really like the Murph in spite of the movie tie in. It is a solid dressy field watch. Not in the same league as the Explorer, but it is the niche.

[@ottokonrad6260]

The Murph has a childlike quality. And right on point, the Interstellar prop watch was gifted in the film by Matthew McConaughey to his 8 year oldish daughter (as her first watch but also for more fundamental purposes revealed later in the film) before he heads off on his space mission. The design for the movie was spot on for the story telling and the characters. I think the real life version introduced in 2019 was originally intended as a replica for the same movie nerds who have Iron Giant models on their mantels (ahum), but the subtle quirkiness of the watch must speak to a lot more people than Interstellar movie nerds.

[@DrRonP]

This is almost certainly my next watch and may well be the last. I want a white dial watch with numerals to round out the small collection. This fits the bill! Your vids are always a perfect mix or entertaining and informative.

[@gunhedd5375]

Well now I want to see a full-length video on cathedral hands. Been looking for a new rabbit hole… 😎

[@NPJensen]

The Murph is really nice, but to me it can never be the only watch I need, because I require a date window. You should do a cathedral hands special, I'd watch that video.

[@tims]

Completely agree on the watch strap comments!

[@jasongultjaeff9397]

I have to get one. I've been wanting one for ages. A great watch.

[@boredonatuesday8793]

What a great review! I picked up a Murph this year, after thinking about it for a few years. Best decision.

[@VOByRobbins]

Cathedral hands rock! We would love a video on them! I'm a big Hamilton fan! The 42mm is next on my buy list . 8 in wrister here ! Great video. ! Congratulations on your baby !❤❤🎉🎉

[@austinreiter2594]

I’ve gotten to the point where I click on your videos as soon as the notification pops up without even caring what it’s about. Always entertaining don’t ever change! But as it happens I love the murph hard! Great alternative to an Explorer I for way less the cost

[@austinreiter2594]

I also 100% agree with you on the strap. When I got mine, after the honeymoon period was over, I found it sadly sitting and realized it was the strap that I didn’t want to grab every morning. Once I found the right one it became the GADA it was meant to be

[@takethecurseOFFwashingmachine]

Britt, don’t feel too bad. I work for a company that pays pensions. I once proposed a whole theory about whether or not somewhere out in the universe was an alien civilization, with their own work based pensions, and whether they were sitting around BS’ing they way we were on earth. A had several co workers who looked at me like I had two heads and totally shut down…..I would love to hear your story one day

[@jasonbrocious3805]

Needs more AR, like any Hamilton. Otherwise I’d own a 38 black. Lovely lovely watch.

[@unclekrconzh85]

The Seiko 5 SRPD 55 is the best automatic watch for me as a daily wear to the office. Or any Solar Powered Quartz watch, like Citizen, Seiko or Casio. Something you don’t have to fear for, and when you see the bumps and schratches they get over time, that make them all the more special. Your content is great as always, and so is your voice.

[@ChazLikesSharpObjects]

Im a big srpd fan as well.. Amazing watch for the money.. makes it on my wrist a few times a wk.. Any watch with Bulova’s precisionist movement as well. ( Im a huge fan of the “Jet Star” )

[@Imparatorpoi]

I definitely prefer black version of it but the white dial also a beautiful choice. Love them

[@MortenPetersen-b1z]

Whether you call what you do a real job or not, you certainly do a lot of cool stuff. Keep up the good work

[@JohnSandovalesq]

I have the OG 42mm Murph in my collection, and will agree with your use/wear case description 100 percent. I would say it's a tool watch in the same vein as a Rolex Explorer or Tudor Ranger, in that the Murph is a little too nice for going out to do yard work but the design language definitely says field watch. My Murph doesn't get much wear time in the summer as I feel the black leather strap is better suited for the clothes I wear during cooler weather. I am glad I have it though, and hope to get a Cooper to go along with it as Interstellar is one of my favorite movies.

[@jowardseph]

I want a full video on cathedral hands. I love them.

[@marcsiaza5373]

Hi Britney, I rarely comment on YT, but I have to say that I would be delighted by an episode dedicated to cathedral hands ! And thank you for this review, this murph really is a great offering for the pricepoint. For the caliber, the H-10 is based off the caliber C07.611 which is a variant of the powermatic 80 with a regular escapement (C07.111 has the "synthetic" escapement and the C07.811 has a silicon hairspring), the powermatic 80 itself being based off the renowned ETA 2824-2.

[@puravmody]

Love the review and approach. I got this very same watch as an anniversary gift and it has unequivocally been on my wrist nonstop. I think you articulate its versatility very well. My only one super duper wish would be more AR coating for the price given lack of contrast . That’s strictly a personal opinion. Great work again!

[@seanharwood974]

I considered a Murph and was almost ready to pull the trigger on it until I found the lesser known Hanhart Preventor HD12 . After a bit of research I went with the Hanhart in the blue dial which is 29mm . It’s a stunner. Absolutely no regrets

[@ConorOD451]

The black dial 38mm on the bracelet is my next planned watch purchase. Partly because it's a great-looking watch, partly because of that

[@michaelr.l.militia8921]

Same sentiments about Christopher Nolan's... "Interstellar." I received my Murph as 2019 Christmas Gift from Wife and Daughter; 42mm when Hamilton released, unfortunate for Me... All 2,555 Interstellar Limited Edition Acrylic Boxes SoldOut Out... Will acquire 38mm for Wife March 2025 for her Birthday... Daughter Already has AAPL watch... Merry Christmas...

[@jayhenry2197]

so many thoughts: 1. my strap complaint: 100m water resistance on a leather strap. Leather does not have 100m water resistance. I wish more watches would synchronize this. 2. I don't really like the regular Hamilton Khaki. I'm not a huge Interstellar fan. But I LOVE the Murph. 3. Ever since the story about the friend who stopped golfing with his Patek Philippe, I've decided that maybe I should just stick with quartz. I'm too reckless, clumsy, and awkward for mechanical movements. BUT..... this would probably be one of 2 or 3 automatic movements that I would buy.

[@BrendanMartyn-p1h]

Happy Christmas and thanks for the vid's

[@mrartdeco]

I got the Interstellar version and bought it for 1/2 the retail price. Practically brand new because the previous owner regrets his impulse buying. His regret. Not mine. Love it every single day for many years now

Yes please on the cathedral hand video! Lots of channels mention that they’re controversial but as someone not steeped in watch history I don’t know what the deal is. I think it’s Rolex adjacent?

[@robpelletier2103]

Don’t have one, but have always been drawn to the Murph. I do believe the strap is a little too dressy for a field watch. The hands are the best characteristic! Do the cathedral hand video! Geusundheit!

[@camels3269]

I would own so many Hamilton watches if only they had better AR coating.. Unfortunately the Murph suffers from the same issue a lot of Hamiltons do: seeing your own face before you can see the time. There are exceptions such as the Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer and the Intra-Matic Auto Chrono but for me, this is something Hamilton really needs to improve upon.

[@tmlioulios]

Hey Britt Loving the content. I think it's now time to talk in depth about Longines and IWC.

A really good video. I like the Murph, but as in one of your later videos, I require a date window, I can never remember the date ! I agree about the quality of straps and bracelets when purchasing a new watch. I am a Seikopath, and have put a new strap on ALL my Seikos, they are rubbish...

[@DBW211]

Britt’s husband must be proud of his ‘God-tier’ 7 inch wrist, perhaps as proud as Evan (YouareTerrific)!

[@Bren64387]

Great watch from the greatest movie of all time.

[@maxresdefault_]

After watching Interstellar again in IMAX I was curious about the watch they chose and had no idea it was designed for the movie. Very cool they turned this into real merch

[@robtype0]

Yeah I wasn't hugely impressed with the stock strap, but I swap straps all the time anyway. I agree that watches should come with something decent, but personally I knew I wanted it on a nice black shell cordovan strap anyway and I doubt Hamilton would include that. Overall I love the watch and I completely agree on its versatility.

[@MiataBRG]

Strap. Agreed, if someone buys a watch and changes the strap straight away, they either didn't like the watch in the first place or have seen too many promotional videos for 'my own brand nato strap'. The strap is part of the watch design, you wouldn't buy a car and start changing the body panels to make it look 'better'. 😂

I agree on the strap comment. I recently bough a cartier tank, and the leather strap is absolutely cheap and terrible. I dont know why companies cheap out when you are paying 3.5k for a watch.

[@ליהואזיסברג]

Hamilton are definitely one of the better value for money brands out there (together under the same roof as Tissot, and maybe Alpina and a few others outside the Swatch group that do not have the Hamilton history to boast)!! I do have a few comments however (nitpicky, yes): 1. The Khaki has a very clear category it belongs to and you do not have to invent one for him - it is the military/ Pilot's watch. Besides of course building on Hamilton's own glory of supplying somewhat similar watches to the military, navy and Airforce until (I think) the Vietnam war, the lone of watches harkens back to a very particular and historically fascinating line of timepieces produced by various suppliers to military forces' specifications. IWC, JLC, Omega, Laco and a few others (heard of the "dirty dozen"?) were among these ranks. The Murph design took some of these classic elements with the cathedral hands that adorned early pilot's watches pre- WW2 and of course - got a lot of love for that. 2. You have not mentioned any downside of this watch, which does indeed make your cool review feel a little bit sponsored even if it is not - so let me offer you what I hear might be a downside: The movement is actually a version used in most SWATCH group's entry level models - Tissot, Hamilton and some Mido as well - it is basically an ETA 2824-2 with a larger mainspring, and a slowed down balance - to allow the impressive power reserve. I have heard that these aspects make the movement harder to service and make us the buyers, in the long run dependent solely on authorized service centres since independent watchmakers will have hard time finding tools and parts specific for this version, unlike its older sister the 2824 and 2824-2. Is that a real problem? I guess we will have to wait a few years for these movement to get older and need service - to find out.

Absolutely do it. In fact, do it right now. No, not later. Now. Not next week. Now. Do it. Do iiiitttttt. Pretty please!

[@MrGrentch]

Maybe do a vid on watch hands in general? I _love _cathedral hands. I used to collect early wristwatches and still have and wear a few(mostly from WW1) and they usually came with those hands. I suspect because they were the best design of the time to hold the new fangled radium lume. A tweak of the existing spade style with gaps for lume. I've no idea where they got the name, but I always thought it was because they kinda looked like stained glass windows you'd see in cathedrals. The Murph is a great watch imho and the white dial version is reminiscent of those WW1 "trench watches" with their enamel dials and open numerals filled with radium. Funny enough though I love cathedral hands, the quite similar Mercedes hands make my teeth itch. Can't abide them. No accounting for taste I suppose. 😄
