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!

Thanks for watching!

the red-tipped second hand is what made me get this watch. Its a pretty minor aesthetic choice but i think it really makes pop and have more character

[dr.killjoy]

Absolutely! I wore that watch for about 3 years straight. That’s one watch that’ll never leave my collection. I’ve got the 38mm version.

I have had Hamilton Khaki Field as my only watch for two years now. I will continue that way.

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 actually agree with your pick. I have 16 watches in my collection, including a Rolex, but my Hamilton Khaki Auto on a bracelet seems to be more of a go-to than pretty much all of my other watches. It just works in a variety of situations: Working around the house, wearing it with a dress shirt and pants for my job, excerising at the gym. Probaby the only thing I wouldn't pair it with is a Tux

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).

I wore citizen eco-drive for about 13 years, they are accurate, easy, and come in a huge array of styles and sizes. They were the perfect watches to get me into watches more seriously.

I think an Aqua Terra would be the perfect one watch for me if money was no concern, enough style, water resistance, and quality to make me a happy man.

[nimmichagger]

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.

[hzee]

I totally agree with your choice. It is such a beautiful and versatile watch. The runner would be a Seiko Alpinist.

[patrickfulmer]

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!

[michaeledwardlenzi]

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.

[yuvalsheer]

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.

[fj]

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. If I were to reduce to one watch, it would be at the top of the list.

I recently purged all my Watches Guy and started over my 1 watch I have now is my Cobra Yellow LE breitling Chronomat. I'm stopping at 3 total .

[bobfromatlanta]

I think I'd have to go with my Seiko SARB033, only because it's a bit dressier/work-appropriate than my Hamilton Khaki Field. In a no limit world....probably a Grand Seiko Snowflake. But in a no limit world there's no way I'd have one watch.

[jayh]

Thanks for providing such detailed content. The amount of time you spend pulling this information together and setting the presentation is obvious
Great job as always. One watch if price is not a factor = GRAND SEIKO
Automatic GMT SBGM221 and One watch for under $500=Bulova 96B129 Precisionist .

[emanralk]

The H-10 movement is great, my Khaki Field runs constant at +2s/day

[CalClassix]

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.

[kmcel]

I have literally the only 3 watches I'll ever need. 1994 omega speedmaster professional, my skx009 picked up 3 years ago, and my g-shock gw7900b

[itz_feley]

The intro is more exciting than the actual watch 😂 jokes aside that‘s a hell of a watch🔥
