A timepiece that evolves into a vintage watch.

The Khaki Field Mechanical traces its roots to the military watches Hamilton supplied in over a million units at the request of the U.S. Army during the 1940s. Bronze, a material used in military medals and insignia, is now featured for the first time in this signature piece.
The brand-new bronze has a nostalgic hue, reminiscent of a sunset. As it oxidizes and changes color with wear, it develops a rich, nuanced character.
This patina, unique to each watch, imbues it with personality, allowing it to evolve into a timepiece with the character of a vintage watch.
The face features a 38mm black dial, with 24-hour indices and three hands adhering to military specifications. The indices are treated with luminous material for enhanced visibility, while the hands are finished in a bronze tone that will remain timeless as the case ages.
The case back and buckle, which come into direct contact with the skin, are made of titanium to enhance durability and reduce weight. The watch is powered by the H-50, a hand-wound movement developed for mechanical watches, boasting a standard power reserve of up to 80 hours.
The strap is a NATO-style, fitting for a military watch, paired with a dark brown leather strap that complements the bronze, contributing to its rugged and nostalgic warmth.
