Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Review

There are no batteries. No rotors. You wind it every morning. It connects you to the machine.

The Look

The bead-blasted steel case eliminates glare. The dial is high-contrast. It is the archetype of a "Field Watch."

The Movement

The H-50 movement is a workhorse with a massive 80-hour power reserve, meaning you can take it off Friday and it's still running Monday morning.

Verdict

For the purist. It's not smart, it's not flashy. It's just a damn good watch.
