Fun fact: Christopher Nolan, director of Interstellar, actually wears this watch himself. In recent press tours for Oppenheimer, you can repeatedly spot it on his wrist in all kinds of different interviews. Pretty neat that the man walks around wearing Easter eggs for his own films, lol.
@@stevemoon2136 mmmm, maybe. But he clearly doesn't always wear Hamilton (see BAFTAs), and typically actors get those ambassador deals, not directors. In any event, it's a watch he had made for his own movie, not an off-the-shelf stock piece. Sponsored or no, still a cool Easter egg.
The Murph is that perfect blend of understated elegance and "I'm such a fan boy nerd that I wear movie props, but you wouldn't know it unless you, too, are such a nerd"
I actually ignored stuff talking about the Murph because it was a movie watch, and I didn't care. Then I saw a picture of the Murph, fell in love with it, and THEN found out it was the watch I had been ignoring! Definitely want one of the 38mm versions in my collection.
The Hamilton H10 movement IS a Powermatic 80 movement (c07.611). It does indeed not have a synthetic pallet fork, but many Powermatic 80 movements don't have it either. The only ones with a synthetic escapement start with C07.1xxx.

That is a dandy wee fellow. I'm afraid though that I'll have to wait for an Ali Express version to fit my even more wee budget. Thanks for another great review Jodi!
I bought the 38mm Murph at Duty Free in Milan airport in May ‘23 for my son’s 21st birthday as he’s a huge Interstellar fan. He was over the moon with his first mechanical watch and wears it everyday. It cost £680 ($840 USD) which was a good price for what was then a new release. Plus I got a free Hamilton backpack!
I would prefer the 38mm. Hey Jody, I’m wearing my recently received Erebus Origin, black color way. You all did a great job with your first watch! No watch is perfect. However, this one is super close. Good job👍🏻😊
I thought it was something new when I saw the thumbnail! I tried this on over a year ago. I also tried the 42 which was too big (I have an 8 inch wrist) I've also seen people with 7.5 inch wrist and smaller wearing the 42 and they just look rediculous 😂 I wasn't impressed with either so bought a Jazzmaster instead and then picked up the Cooper a couple of months later. Both better pieces than the Murph.
Jody! Love the Murph and appreciate the review. My only note is actually about your new set. I'm noticing a bit of echo and/or hollowness in the recording, like you might experience while filming in the bathroom (not that I'm accusing you of anything nefarious). You may want to look into some audio tiles, perhaps color matched to go with your new blue filming room. All the best!
No mate, they deleted it. Some will be happy because it's more authentic, others will be unhappy because they will miss the little nerdy touch. Cheers!
Jody, thanks for a great review and compo' of the Hamilton Murph's, very tempted to snag one, when I can at a 'reasonable price'. BUT, I have on several different occasions nearly bought a Hamilton, but for some reason I've never actually 'pulled the trigger' on one! They, Hamilton seem to kind of sit in that middle ground where you spend a bit more and get something noticeably better or spend a bit less and get something very nearly almost as good or even equal, but without 'that' name? I freely admit to having both mechanical and quartz movements and I don't really discriminate between them, if I like it then that's it for me. I hope/think you can probably can get that view point?!
Recently bought the 38mm - agree, Jody, absolute little stunner. I’ve a BB58, which feels considerably bigger than this, though on paper only a millimetre bigger. But for me, the size suits the watch. I’ve genuinely enjoyed having a smaller, lighter watch on the wrist. Only problem is I really must stop driving through corn fields with Zimmer’s (dear God what an incredible) score blasting out. Local farmers really are fed up with me now, though they do always remark on how nicely proportioned my wrist watch is. 😄
Okay, you did it (with help from Hamilton), finally a Hamilton field watch I can get behind. Until you gave the RRP...egads! Better lume and AR coating would tempt me to get a grey market or used one if I were looking for a field watch. She is a beauty.
not related to this review but my Origin arrived today and i laughed when I saw how many stickers and wrappers it was wrapped in because it immediately reminded me of your unboxings 😂
Very nice! My collection has become very diver-heavy and I was looking at adding a nice field watch to it (which I also intend to wear as a daily banger!), but not sure if I'd want to go above $500... I'll definitely put this one on the shortlist.
I bought the 42 on release. Even got the Interstellar tesseract collectors box 😅 I love the watch. Really happy that Hamilton made a reduced version for those who were disappointed with the initial sizing. No morse code on the second hand of this one however. Not a deal breaker I'm sure 😂
I absolutely love this watch and definitely planning on picking one up at some point now that it’s that little bit smaller. I completely agree with what’s said here, making it a manual wind would have been a great idea, I just think it would have suited the watch style.
Since the watch came out here in France like 2 years ago, we can find very good deal, great watch, outregeous price, good job jody, Frédéric from Paris France.
The 42 mm case would have been fine with more appropriate lugs. Looking at the lug-to-lug in proportion to the diameter: 44 / 38 = 1.158 52 / 42 = 1.238 If the larger case had lugs in the same proportion as those on the smaller case, it would have been about 48.6 km lug-to-lug. 48.6 / 42 ≈ 44 / 38 This would have made the larger case much more reasonable for many more people. However, the price is a different problem.....
I’ve had mine a few months now, can’t take it off, replaced the thick black leather strap after a few months because it made it look a little too dressy. Went with an Olive Green Nylon strap that makes the dial pop even more. Ya not cheap but a bargain compared to a Tudor Ranger @ 4 times the price. 🙏
I really wanted to buy the 42mm with Eureka but after trying both, 38mm is by far the prettier for a 16-17cm (~6.5 inch)wrist. It's a killer look on any elegant male wrist or makes any male wrist look elegant..Both is correct.
The 21,600 bph sweep isn't as smooth as 28,800 but I like how they've marked the outer track to 1/3s (same with a lot of Hamiltons with this movement). If you watch it in slowmo, every second beat of the seconds hand lands on a marker. (Yes, I'm the type of guy to film my watch in slowmo.)
@jody this watch came our in Oct/Nov 2022, when i saw this video title i thought there is another newer improved 38 version that came out now. You are 15 months late to the party. Still an amazing watch hopefully it will come down in price now.
I wouldn’t call the printing/lume color faux-tina lume. To me it’s just tan/khaki printing with matching tan Luke. If it was meant to actually be faux-tina then the minute track and logo printing would be in white with only the lumed hands and hour markers in tan.
A smart marketing ploy to please 38mm fans and significantly increase the retail price compared to similar Hamilton Fields. Surely it's a 'Murph' lookalike as it's the wrong size and the Morse code is absent on the seconds hand, which misses the point of the movie character's association? Still, it's a nice watch but at a hefty premium IMO.
They are lacking a 40mm version which would be the sweet spot in my opionion. 42mm with that extended lug width might be too big for a lot of wrists, but 38mm is unfortunately also on the smaller side and definately too small for my wrist.
I enjoy wearing this 38mm Murph perfect for my small wrist, which is a must .Yeah, the price is in issue, but when you see the movie,you can forget the price, really, is the good... thanks again for reviewing this incredible piece. It's 2 years for me.. It looks good on you, my friend jody... from St George Utah... sincerely, I'm a fan of the channel....
It would be the 38mm for me. Nice looking handset and dial which could easily accommodate a date at 6 without compromising the aesthetics which would turn it from an occasional wear to a daily, the strap would have to go. For me it's a good looking expensive watch that would hardly ever get used.
I've decided 38-39 is the sweet spot on my 6 and a half inch wrist. Not paying almost a grand for a Hamilton three hander though. Especially not on a strap. Total non starter without a bracelet option.
The 38 fits in my wrist like the 42 on yours. I think you could pull off either size. My wrists are about 6.25 on left and 6.4 on right. I mostly wear on right wrist now days.
I've really liked the look of this watch for a long time, but I just wish it had a date complication, which is really the only extra feature I need in a watch. I'd hate to still have to look at my phone to know the date, especially for the price of a watch like this.
Thanks Jodi! Hamilton if you're listening....how about a Murph in 36mm and with a slimmer crown? That would be awesome!

I have 38mm khaki auto and want 40mm khaki auto with compact lugs and without date (or placed better than 42mm one). My wrist size is 19cm by the way, 7.5 inches.
I don't mind the lacking AR coating. No AR coating is really needed on such a nostalgic watch. I would be willing to consider it an aesthestic plus, allowing the crystal to catch the light. The weak lume on the other hand is just an outright mistake on a watch in that price range, in my opinion.
My wife got me the 42mm Murph for my 41st b-day. I love it like nothing else i own because of the thought and our personal connection to the film. I wouldn't get anything with a longer lug to lug though, I have a 7" wrist and with anything larger, the lugs would begin to look to long. Plus, my version has "eureka" on the second hand :)
It's a really nice touch for fans of the film. The limited packaging is pretty cool as well. I bought mine thinking they were all sold already. Nice surprise finding one still available.
One night a few years ago I searched TH-cam for clips of Intersteller to watch. On a whim I clicked on TGV's "The Interstellar Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date - The Best Automatic Aviation Watch Under $600?" and I was hooked on the Murph watch when it was shown in the video, and on watches in general. I had to wait years for the 38mm since that's the size that fits better.
I went for the 42, and the lugs were weirdly fitting on my very flat shelf’s 7 inch wrist …which usually eats up 42 mm watches, even dressers up to 42 inches…but this 42 rode very high, almost tenting, I sold it and am contemplating going back to the smaller of the 2 …that’s how much I miss this beautiful piece…it is one of a kind, ..if you’ve worn the bullhead Bulova parking meter…it’s the same issue. Anyhow…freaking awesome piece nonetheless the less .
Wait, what is new? Did they change anything in the 38 Murph? Or is it simply a late review of the regular 38 Murph? The title just suggests as if there was a re-release
Probably already mentioned, but I’m surprised there is no reference to the missing binary code on the sweep hand - as a true devotee of the film, that’s a bit of a deal-breaker for me on the 38mm. It’s such a quirky Easter egg. Dunno why they didn’t include it??
Thanks for the video Jodie. It's nice that they are responding to fan requests - although I must admit, I don't understand the fuss. I'd rather have an Oris Big Crown. I'm amused how Swatch claim that their sub-brands are 'independent' and, at the same time, that movements from the wider conglomerate count as 'in-house'.
i bought this uk with 10/15% off from ernest jones, think i ended up paying £700, but 100% worth it, the power reserve is excellent, the finish is great and it keeps time so well. dont hesitate
What a great looking watch. My only quirk is it's size. I have a 7in. wrist and own a 38in. watch that like very much and wear it often. But for some reason, it looks tiny on my wrist. I wear it to work, cause it's a beater but switch when I get home. I know small watches are coming back, just wish that Hamilton would do a 40mm, 39 at the least. So much for wishful thinking. Nice review.
38mm case with a 44mm lug-to-lug is the perfect size for me, but I ended up getting a basic hand wind Khaki instead of this one due to the price difference.
Was lucky enough to get a 1/3 off from a UK official dealer 12 months ago and its still a regular on my wrist. The size and dial are so so sweet. Certainly one of my favourite watches for casual wear. Now have both Interstellar watches, one as a dazzler, the other as the practical. Great pairing
What we need now is a comparison between the 38mm murph and the seiko alpinist. That would be a killer video
I'd personally take the Alpinist all day every day over either Murph or any Khaki. Especially with the green face.

Only just watched the movie last night. I hope the watch is a bit more rugged than the one that Murph threw across the bedroom and promptly broke! 🙂

I have the Hamilton Khaki Pilot from the same movie and I love it... first proper watch in my collection.
I own the 38 Murph and changed the strap to bracelet. It gets more wrist time than my black bay 58. One of my best watches right here!
Bought the Coop on a leather strap......now I should save to get the Murph for my daughter!
I have an 8 1/4 inch wrist and anything below 39 just looks crazy small on me. I’d stick with the 42.
The 42 looked pretty good on your wrist.. “Eureka” sold me on my 7.25 inch wrist being such a fan of the movie. Can’t go wrong with either
The stitching isnt matching the color of the lume on purpose. It was pure white that has been stained by the natural hand cheese from Mr P

This is LITERALLY the khaki field with the Murph dial. Same exact case, crown, etc. they didn't put it on the bracelet to keep it different.
The 42 mm case would have been fine with more appropriate lugs.
Looking at the lug-to-lug in proportion to the diameter:
44 / 38 = 1.158
52 / 42 = 1.238
If the larger case had lugs in the same proportion as those on the smaller case, it would have been about 48.6 km lug-to-lug.
48.6 / 42 ≈ 44 / 38
This would have made the larger case much more reasonable for many more people.
However, the price is a different problem.....
Thanks for the video. How would you compare the Longines Spirit to the Murph?
I’ve had mine a few months now, can’t take it off, replaced the thick black leather strap after a few months because it made it look a little too dressy. Went with an Olive Green Nylon strap that makes the dial pop even more. Ya not cheap but a bargain compared to a Tudor Ranger @ 4 times the price. 🙏
My escapement time costed me 60€ and it’s lovely
This is more of a replica of the movie version since it doesn’t have the eureka homage second hand. Nice touch. And this size is perfect!
hamilton's ltd edition Murph version with the super cool Tesseract box was list price at $995. Only 2555 were made. A much better deal then
The Seiko alpinist offers so much more at a more affordable price. Not to mention the SARBs.
damn, they really are rolling out videos for the murph 38mm on youtube right now by different youtubers but it's just pure coincidence lol

I've decided 38-39 is the sweet spot on my 6 and a half inch wrist. Not paying almost a grand for a Hamilton three hander though. Especially not on a strap. Total non starter without a bracelet option.
The 38 fits in my wrist like the 42 on yours. I think you could pull off either size. My wrists are about 6.25 on left and 6.4 on right. I mostly wear on right wrist now days.
I've really liked the look of this watch for a long time, but I just wish it had a date complication, which is really the only extra feature I need in a watch. I'd hate to still have to look at my phone to know the date, especially for the price of a watch like this.
I'll wait for the Baltany version.
Thanks Jodi! Hamilton if you're listening....how about a Murph in 36mm and with a slimmer crown? That would be awesome!
I have 38mm khaki auto and want 40mm khaki auto with compact lugs and without date (or placed better than 42mm one). My wrist size is 19cm by the way, 7.5 inches.
I don't mind the lacking AR coating. No AR coating is really needed on such a nostalgic watch. I would be willing to consider it an aesthestic plus, allowing the crystal to catch the light. The weak lume on the other hand is just an outright mistake on a watch in that price range, in my opinion.
My wife got me the 42mm Murph for my 41st b-day. I love it like nothing else i own because of the thought and our personal connection to the film. I wouldn't get anything with a longer lug to lug though, I have a 7" wrist and with anything larger, the lugs would begin to look to long.
Plus, my version has "eureka" on the second hand :)
It's a really nice touch for fans of the film. The limited packaging is pretty cool as well. I bought mine thinking they were all sold already. Nice surprise finding one still available.
I have my 38mm on an Uncle straps steel bracelet and I love it. It’s become my daily.
I didn't realize Australia had it's own currency 😮
Yep we’ve even got our own govt too
What did you think they used?
One night a few years ago I searched TH-cam for clips of Intersteller to watch. On a whim I clicked on TGV's "The Interstellar Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date - The Best Automatic Aviation Watch Under $600?" and I was hooked on the Murph watch when it was shown in the video, and on watches in general. I had to wait years for the 38mm since that's the size that fits better.
I enjoy my Hamilton Cooper watch
Hamilton never should have discontinued that one. It's sweet.
Great watch, but by no means small! Personally, I'd like this even smaller and i'm a big guy who regularly, happily wears many 42mm+ watches.
I went for the 42, and the lugs were weirdly fitting on my very flat shelf’s 7 inch wrist …which usually eats up 42 mm watches, even dressers up to 42 inches…but this 42 rode very high, almost tenting, I sold it and am contemplating going back to the smaller of the 2 …that’s how much I miss this beautiful piece…it is one of a kind, ..if you’ve worn the bullhead Bulova parking meter…it’s the same issue. Anyhow…freaking awesome piece nonetheless the less .
I'm glad I chose the spb155 Baby Alpinist!
Wait, what is new? Did they change anything in the 38 Murph? Or is it simply a late review of the regular 38 Murph? The title just suggests as if there was a re-release
Probably already mentioned, but I’m surprised there is no reference to the missing binary code on the sweep hand - as a true devotee of the film, that’s a bit of a deal-breaker for me on the 38mm. It’s such a quirky Easter egg. Dunno why they didn’t include it??
Thanks for the video Jodie. It's nice that they are responding to fan requests - although I must admit, I don't understand the fuss. I'd rather have an Oris Big Crown.
I'm amused how Swatch claim that their sub-brands are 'independent' and, at the same time, that movements from the wider conglomerate count as 'in-house'.
What does Hamilton have against screw down crowns!??
That's what I would've fixed too!
i bought this uk with 10/15% off from ernest jones, think i ended up paying £700, but 100% worth it, the power reserve is excellent, the finish is great and it keeps time so well. dont hesitate
Not related but just have to share that my Origin will arrive today between 11:25 and 13:25 today, UK time! Woohoo!
What a great looking watch. My only quirk is it's size. I have a 7in. wrist and own a 38in. watch that like very much and wear it often. But for some reason, it looks tiny on my wrist. I wear it to work, cause it's a beater but switch when I get home. I know small watches are coming back, just wish that Hamilton would do a 40mm, 39 at the least. So much for wishful thinking. Nice review.
I think there are at least 3 homages of this on Ali now, think I'll opt for one of those and save some money
38mm case with a 44mm lug-to-lug is the perfect size for me, but I ended up getting a basic hand wind Khaki instead of this one due to the price difference.
Was lucky enough to get a 1/3 off from a UK official dealer 12 months ago and its still a regular on my wrist. The size and dial are so so sweet. Certainly one of my favourite watches for casual wear. Now have both Interstellar watches, one as a dazzler, the other as the practical. Great pairing
