Originally founded in 1892, the Hamilton Watch Company has seen a lot of history and manufactured a lot of historic timepieces. After setting wristwatch standards for generations, the company is now in the perfect position to celebrate some of its classic designs from bygone eras.
Take, for example, Hamilton’s Khaki Field, a line of military-inspired watches that date back to the 1940s. The flagship wristwatch in this rugged yet elegant line, the Khaki Field Mechanical just got a highly anticipated reissue.
Regarded as the original soldier’s watch, this Swiss-made, hand-winding timepiece features a straightforward three hand display with classic indexes that show hours and minutes. In compliance with military form, the watch includes 24-hour, military-time indicators beneath the traditional 12-hour clock face. From its dark dial with luminescent numerals to its durable green textile NATO strap, everything about this recreation remains faithful to its original 1940s forbearer.
Composed of high-quality stainless steel with an attractive matte finish, this watch is built to last and look great while doing it. Each watch currently available for presale comes complete with an official 2-year warranty.
