Most of us won't ever have a single, one watch collection. But for the average person owning a watch usually means owning just that, one single watch. In today's video I'm going to discuss 3 reasons why this Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic could be your only watch!

I have not owned a Rolex but I would not be comfortable with it because I would be so worried that something would happen to it. I think you should wear a watch which you can lose and not care about it. 500$ is no money for me. But if you want to be a Rolex wearer that sum should be $10000. Poor people with Rolex is just ridicolous.

I own the Hammy on a brown leather strap, with the original ETA 2824 (~40 hr power reserve, higher beat rate of 28800). Bought as a gift to self for graduating college (2014). Still runs great today, brought it in to my watchmaker about a year ago and he regulated it and said the lubricants look fine and full service was not yet needed. Case has plenty of scratches from use, but the sapphire crystal looks the same as the day I got it. A real workhorse

I just ordered this Hamilton and have looked forward to it for a long time for all of the reasons you’ve stated. I do own a Smiths Everest as well, as a recent addition to my collection ... and it has quickly become a favorite on my wrist (at under $500). I’m a huge fan of German watches, and although it’s far from the “if money was no object” category... my Sinn 104 is a great one-watch collection timepiece. My goal ... a Rolex Explorer (114270).

You made an excellent case for the Hammy as a one watch collection. I agree with your assessment. In fact, a Hamilton Khaki Auto 38mm, exactly as you reviewed here, arrived in the mail at my house, TODAY. However, it is not for me... it is a graduation gift for my son.

I have the 38mm..Absolutely love it, but 2 major gripes - 1 : the crystal reflects literally EVERYTHING around you. 2 : do NOT get it wet. I wore it to clean my fish tank, and condensation built up on the inside of the crystal. It disappeared after a couple of days, but still concerning for a watch labelled as 100m water resistant. Otherwise, a great watch.
@richieb74
@richieb74 3 ай бұрын
100m water resistant doesn't mean water proof to 100m, even spashing water on you watch has a curtain water pressure, that's what that 100m rating says, if you submerge you watch and move it around under water that exposes the watch to higher and higher water pressure, usually 100m still isn't enough to actually submerge yet. i wouldn't actually swim with anything under 200m rating

In a few days, I will officially be retired. The company doesn't give watches but the tradition of a retirement watch has me with an excuse to buy. I've wanted a Hamilton for years, but it seemed like each model at one or more things that I didn't like. hen I happened upon this watch. I have an 8 inch wrist so 42 mm is in the sweet spot for me. This may just be my Hammy. Thanks!

I have this model, great piece. I did have a problem with the rotor after a few weeks from new. The AD sent it back to Hamilton but as soon as I got it back the problem was still there so Hamilton replaced the movement, it been working spot on since I only wear it for about 2 weeks in rotation with my other pieces, but once a week I keep an eye on it.

Ive never seen Hamilton in this light and now SERIOUSLY considering purchasing this particular model. So to answer your question of the 1 watch in the $500 range Im looking at this one. And if budget wasn't a factor for a 1 watch collection, I have to go with the Omega Seamaster, black dial with the wave pattern. Awesome video and beautiful background music.

I could wear that Hammy every day as my only watch. It is a robust, no nonsense timekeeper with perfect dimensions and is a tremendous value. And it doesn't use faux patina like other Hamilton field watches. People would never give it a second look. But I would know it was more special than a dollar amount. --Michael My one watch would be my modern 36mm Datejust. But I have an emotional connection and it was an irrational choice as it was the one watch my dad wore. It is too expensive for what I really need though. A Seiko SARB033 would work for me just as well.

This is a great watch. Well proportioned, classic looking and nice robust and accurate movement with a very useful power reserve. The only major downside for me is this is a reflection magnet. I don't understand why Hamilton could not add some AR coating on the crystal, would have made the watch near perfect for the price.

If I had to chose one watch I think it would be the SKX. Obviously the movement is behind, the crystal is not sapphire, and no solid end-links. But as many people said, the SKX is more then the sum of its parts. And there is something about the uniqueness of its design that makes you smile.

Yuval Sheer, Guy more than once said that a Seiko is a hit or a miss. I have the SKX with a “hit” movement, and I guess you probably have one, too, so I certainly agree with you. Besides, is it not funny that the SKX seem to hold up value pretty well, even that it is discontinued, and there are so many good alternatives like the Orient etc. Cheers from Denmark the Stig

Guy, you nailed it with this video I couldn't agree more with your views and comments on this watch. I have a small collection including Omega, Oris and Hamilton. My favourite piece is the same watch you reviewed here, the Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic 38mm. It is by far the least expensive I own but the design and aesthetic is pretty much perfect. I have the black dial on a brown leather strap. I love it so much I'm considering buying another, identical, watch just in case they stop making this model.

Thanks for your insight. I like this question but man-oh-man is it hard to pick. I'd have to go with the following: Budget watch: Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic 42mm on a brown leather strap b/c you can swap the strap for a NATO-like version if you need to jump in a pool/lake. It's a watch that looks good enough on the wrist for a formal occasion as well as a more casual/day-to-day environment. No limit budget: Casio G-Shock MTG-B2000 (blue). It's a nice rugged watch on a black rubber strap that is sleek enough for formal occasions but built tough enough to withstand anything you throw at it, including yard work and jumping in the pool to play with my son, on top of the fact that I wouldn't fear wearing it like I would if I had an Omega Seamaster for example.

My watch collecting journey went through many stages, developed from luxury watches, primarily Rolex, to more practical, low key ones. I'm now down to 5 watches total: (1) a dress watch, (2) a diver, (3) a chrono, (4) a daily, and (5) an adventure watch. If I could own only 1 watch, it would certainly be a field watch, around 39.5 to 42 mm in diameter. A Hamilton would be very high on the list of candidates indeed.

I rarely need a dress watch; like twice a year, for a wedding, so my choice for under 500 would be my Orient Ray ii Raven, great watch despite all of the often-mentioned "shortcomings". Even though I'm not a fan of 40mm or over, but this is the time we live in. Another option would be Seiko SNK809 on a bracelet, now that's a versatile everyday watch. Unlimited budget: it's a tie between a Seiko 62MAS, which I think it's the best watch design ever (emphasis on "I THINK"), in a well worn but well preserved example OR a blue-dial vintage Rolex DateJust, like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expects a small Rolex! Even a non-quickset-date, for a daily driver, that's a non-issue. Great content! Cheers!

I've worn a Seiko Arctura for the past 23 years! But it needed a new capacitor / maybe lithium battery upgrade and band and glass. So I went out and got a Seiko 5 instead which I've been very happy with. The 4R36 movement ran fast for a couple of weeks but is settling down. I don't expect it to be as accurate as the Arctura which was VERY accurate, +/- seconds per YEAR, but wanted a daily wearer that would also look nice at events.

Hamilton Khaki Field is a great choice. My favourite Sub-500-Watch is the Hamilton Khaki Field King, which is more dressy than the regular Khaki Field. If I had to choose the one and only watch from my collection it would be the Fortis B-42 Official Cosmonauts Day-Date. Unique desgin, built like a tank, highly accurate and with a timeless and masculine style, made by one of the few remaining independent watch brands from Switzerland.

At current prices grey for the Hamilton and AD for the Orient both would come out under $500.00 to the door. Very well thought out presentation. FWIW I have a 63 year old gold Hamillton which was given to my mother by her employer at my birth, I did have it serviced once and it still works, and American made, maybe it's not worth much but it is to me.

Great video. I do like the Hamilton name, but not a big fan of the field watch. My one watch I'd pick for under $500 would be the Bernhardt Watch Company Corsair. It has the Miyota 9015 movement, witch I feel pretty much competes with the ETA 2824, plus sapphire crystal, solid ss bracelet w/solid end links, 200 meter water resistance, see through case back to name a few specs. My one watch with no money limitations would be a Rolex GMT II ( I have a vintage 1975 Rolex DJ 1603 and I love it, but it's not an everyday watch). Stay safe.

I agree with your choice. I have the same but 42mm. Over 500 would be the Zenith El Primero chrono. Great topic, Guy!

I have two Khaki Hamiltons and love them both. After looking at my collection, I think my one and only watch could be my Chris Ward Super Compressor. Beautifully made, Sellita SW200 movement, and can be worn for all occasions. As well as my two Hamilton's, other contenders would be my Certina Ds-1 and Relio Solstice. Without a budget, my one and only may be an Omega Aqua Terra, but ask me again tomorrow. Sooooo subjective though

I think the Khaki Field or a Casio Oceanus are great for a sub-$500, one-watch collection. Even with no price ceiling, I'd actually go far more modest than one might expect: the Sinn 856 IB. It's just dressy enough to work with a suit & tie, but it also has the Sinn technologies that will let you take it places where you'd be afraid of scuffing your Explorer.

I’ve got the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba. I feel like it has the field-ish aesthetics but adds a screw-down crown and rotating bezel!

Thumbs up for your KZfaq channel! I currently spend a lot of time watching your videos. Currently me one-watch-pick at around $500 would be a dive watch maybe like the Glycine Combat Sub. If money didn't matter I'd probably choose the Omega Aqua Terra, because it's a really versatile piece. Sporty and dressy at the same time.

Nicely done video. Love the Hamilton and would like to get one. My one watch would need a rotating bezel or something that adds that functionality. I wear my Seiko Turtle SRPA21 most. If cost was no object, probably a Rolex, Omega or Tudor dive watch or a Rolex Explorer, Milgauss, or AirKing.

I see this all the time.. To much people selling it pre owned. And always wanted one. But I can't made up my mind of buying it. But they say, Hamilton is such respected and good brand. But this coming August, in my birthday I am buying this. I hope I will not regret it.. Thx for the reviews and all of the infos about this watch.. ❤️ From Austria

I like the format of the video. Your camera work has gotten quite good! I owned the Hamilton you have pictured here...I flipped it to a friend and I have regretted it ever since. I was trying to downsize my collection I suppose… And for me that’s An exercise in futility😂

I've got the Khaki field mechanical for 6 months now, and it's my edc watch. It's not a dress watch but, that's not a problem. But watching videos like this one, makes me think about buying the automatic version as well.

Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz would be my pick. It’s reliable and has everything I want from a watch: accuracy, water resistance of at least 10atm, Sapphire Crystal, a date complication, reliability and I happen to like how it looks with its perfect 38mm :)

I tend to use my watch as a timer multiple times through out the day, and that would be the ONLY short coming for Khaki field to me my budget one watch. I would end up getting an Orient Mako because it meets all the function requirements and I like the dial design.

I wear my Seiko SBDC053 on bracelet 5 days a week even though my collection is over 20 pieces strong. I just love it. I’m currently saving for a snowflake. Which I’ve wanted for years, but I’d have to say that with money not being a problem, I’d want either the Omega Moonshine or a Patel minute repeater.
