The Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm (H69439931) is the brand’s hand-wound field watch inspired by its military issue pieces. According to Hamilton’s official page, the stainless steel case measures 38 mm across, is 9.5 mm thick and 47 mm lug to lug, with 20 mm between the lugs. It has a sapphire crystal, a black dial and 50 m (5 bar) water resistance. It comes on a textile strap with a pin buckle. The movement is Hamilton’s H-50 hand-winding caliber, with an 80-hour power reserve and a Nivachron balance spring. Hamilton lists it at $675 in the US.

The Khaki Field Mechanical has been a gateway watch for many collectors. Fratello’s hands-on notes that it wears larger than its size suggests, thanks to its 47 mm lug-to-lug and narrow bezel, and WatchGecko praises its presence on the wrist without being bulky, along with the vintage-style faux lume. Two Broke Watch Snobs points out that Hamilton grew the case from the original 34 mm to a more wearable 38 mm for this reissue, and Wristwatch Review found it quite legible for its size. A recurring remark in customer reviews is that 50 m of water resistance limits it for water sports.

The Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm in black is part of Hamilton’s current collection and is listed on the brand’s official store.
