What do you think? Do you prefer the lower price of the Seiko or the Timex? Or maybe the extra versatility of the Khaki King? Me, I think I'd be going for the great manual wind movement, the fauxtina, and the super clean looks of this wee H69439531 ;) Cheers, Jody

Now you’re talking, Jody! I own a number of these Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanicals, of different vintages. My favourites are the ones with the ETA 2824-2 movements due to the smooooth sweep of the seconds hand. They offer great value on the used market, where you can still pick them up sub $300 (even though they are becoming harder to find). I am currently wearing my black dial on a vintage green NDC elastic strap and it looks like a million bucks. Thanks for the review!

I have the white dial. Can’t image ever living without this incredible watch!

I am wearing this watch right now, it changes character depending on the color strap it's on. I LOVE THIS WATCH!!!

[Pavlis]

I totally agree with you on the strap. I also live at a country with hot climate and that is why i got it on the green nato.. i wanted to add in my collection the best (for me) field watch and i went with that beauty.. i put it on my wrist once every couple of months and i always fall for it..
Keep up the awesome vids

I finally got this one last weekend. I love it. A lot of charm, so far very accurate (like a half a second off per day, seriously half), long-lasting lume. Very legible and simple. I'm recommending this on every video review. If you want a classic field watch with a long history, and if it's in your price range, get one.

Thanks for this review video of this latest Khaki Mechanical which incidentally is the exact field watch I had picked up sometime in the summer of 2019. It has returned a steady -2s/d accuracy and the lume typically, in my experience, could lasts through out the night with no issue distinguishing neither the hour markers nor the hands. Additionally, with the extremely practical 80-hour power reserve, this military field watch makes a very decent daily wear.

Got this one a month ago on super sale at JimaShop - it had a tiny scratch in the case back - and I love it. I got the anodized in brown, so it's super stealthy. Sucker for hand crankers and this one is nice. I love the style, love the history and the vintage size.

The only down side are the lugs. I have it on a leather 2 piece strap and there's a but if a gap between the strap and the body of the case. Less an issue with a NATO, but a little startling for a 2 piece. That said, it makes using a NATO much easier.

This is a perfect field watch.

I’ve really gotten into the field watches. I bought a Timex Expedition Scout 2 days ago and my gf got me the one with the 42 mm Chrono for Christmas. Also got a Seiko one coming from Japan.

[roderickos]

I knew it was Joma's. Did my drooling over it for more than several times now. Still on the verge though. Thanks Jody!

I'm a Hamilton fan, they offer great finishing and quality at a reasonable price. Other watches cost less, but I've found finishing, and feel suffers because of cost cutting.

[Vow]

Great watch. I own the earlier version without the 80hr power reserve. Mine comes on the green fabric nato.
I would just add that if your planning on wearing this on a two piece strap, the lugs are quite long, and the lug holes are a long way from the case, so you end up with a big gap between case and strap, which won’t be to everyone’s liking.

I bought this watch yesterday after having my eye on one for a couple of years. It doesn't disappoint and I could still read the lume at 5am. I'm on the last hole on the strap so if you're under 6.5" you might have to make another hole. Well recommended 👌

I have SNZG15J! I do love its double-deck dial! For 35USD I have swapped the 7S movement to NH36. I just can't be any happier! I have a complete automatic mechanical watch with hacking and hand-winding! it also has 45 hours power reserved for less than 160USD!

Know how to make an AD hate you? "Well, on Jomashop, this is on sale for..." 🤣

Great, honest review, as ever, Jody. Since you asked, I’m pleased with my smaller Seiko SNK809 as my mechanical field watch as well as my tan 40 mm Timex Expedition Scout (TWC001200) as my quartz field watch. For a little pizzazz, I purchased the awesome Timex Allied LT field-style chronograph (TW2T33100VQ) (gave the band to my daughter) and now I have three, great go-to field watch options, in three sizes, for any day instead of one that’s so expensive that I’d be afraid to take it into the field.
Thanks to your channel, I’m always on the lookout for value options. ...and I always check Joma Shop first!

[markstarmer]

I have the white dial mechanical, no issues with it. Value for money, very comfortable nato strap. Gets more wrist time than my other watches.

[torbensvensson]

I went directly buying this field Hammy, I’ve got not much experience of other field watches, but I really loving this Hamilton Khaki Field. The fantastic powerreserve and other complications makes this watch a great value watch, it really belongs among the entry level of swiss made luxury watches!👌🏻😉 Great video Jody, you have a fantastic concept!👏🏻🤩

[CCBovell]

Just bought one last night (beer played no small part) but I used the link 👍🏼 thanks Jody!

[williamsipe]

I picked up both one of this watch's many siblings, an H704450, and a Timex expedition over the Christmas break, and they are both great.

[bbear]

I got this about one month ago. It’s a great looking watch. It’s very accurate, love to be able to stop the second hand. Easy to read. I am however, not seeing the 80 hrs power reserve. I enjoyed winding it every night before going to bed.
