I have the quartz, mechanical, and king auto. I wear one to work, one in the field, and one in public. One the rare occasion, I wear a suite, I wear a dress watch from the american classic line. I think they are all great watches.
My favourite of the line is the khaki king automatic because of the full day of the week on the top of the screen. It's such a beautiful and versatile watch that work with different band in different situations. I've been using it as a formal and even dress watch from time to time just by matching the band with the outfit. I wanted the khaki mechanical with the 2801 but it's getting hard to find and instead I went for the marathon general purpose inox mechanical with the same movement. The marathon big advantage over the khaki mechanical is the fantastic tritium lume that make it worth every penny. The marathon is more of a real modern military watch where the khaki mechanical is a little bit of a homage of past hamilton military watch. Either way they are winners and the 2801 is a very simple yet accurate movement. Out of the box I got +1 +2 seconds consistently and that second hand swipe is so smooth. I don't know if you ever reviewed a marathon watch but I think a gsar or a general purpose should be on your list. Once you get a taste of the tritium lume ... ok ok joking don't put that in your mouth.
I just picked up the khaki king with the Champaign dial and am absolutely in love with it! Great watch, and works as both a dress watch or a field watch
@@ajgross67 I had a hard time deciding between the two colour when purchasing mine. They are both nice. Check colareb for leather straps. They are really nice and fit well with the look of the watch.
Not made anymore but, 36.8mm, flat black face, all lume Arabic hours markings and lume hands, date complication, cyclops, mineral glass crystal, screw down crown, screw down case back, 10 Bar, solid brushed stainless case and back, 18mm lugs, 12 hour dial w 2nd smaller offset 24 hour mil. Arabic markings, 515 Swiss Ronda Quartz. Jules Jurgensen Infinity.. It looks incredible on a black waffle strap and is IMHO, the perfect field watch, 5x less than any Hamilton.
I’m thinking about getting the Khaki Field Day Date Auto H70505733. I really like the treatment of the day and date. But it’s significantly more $ than either of these. Jory, what’s your opinion? I agree with what you said in that the mechanical is so much of a traditional field watch.
I wear my Hamilton Khaki automatic to work fairly often. I'm a farmer and I can't say enough about the durability and reliability of the Hamilton. Great watch and great video my man.
@@cambaz4387Kahki Field Auto 38mm. I have model # H70515137 which has the stainless bracelet. Whereas, model # H70455733 comes on a black leather strap with white contrast stitching and "H" signed buckle.
Probably the best content yet by you, Sir. I enjoyed the quick EDC layout as I subscribe to the same philosophy. So much to appreciate about the Hamilton mechanical, automatic, and even the quartz - naturally, I want them all.
@@thetimeteller every time I'm on the Hamilton website, there are about 15 watches I'm drooling over. Their line just has that 1940's vintage vibe that I love. I'd like to get another Hamilton with my next purchase but I'm also eyeing a Laco Aachen 42mm and the Dan Henry 1939 chronograph.
The thinness of the mechanical is a huge advantage IMO. It seems to be one of the thinnest mechanical watches in its price range and probably the thinnest mechanical field watch period.
@@gooberpea2524 yeah possibly. I still find myself wearing it most out of all my watches though. I just avoid wearing it in situations where I'm expecting rain/water. If I get caught in the rain, then 50m should still be enough, and I still won't stress over it.
Great vid Jory! I recently pulled the trigger on the 40mm auto version. It packs the same H10 movement as the 42mm. 80hr power reserve and so far accurate to within 2 seconds a day. I'm loving it.
Dude! Awesome to see you in an environment outside of the office! To be honest, it would be awesome if you kept doing this type of video for divers, dress watches, etc. Great stuff!
I just got the Hamilton Khaki 38 Auto and it is Fantastic, keeping time like a COSC certified watch at less than 1 sec + a day! Unbelievable I’ve had it for 2 weeks. Very Happy with this one Jori
Khaki Field Automatic (42mm) all day long! It’s already reserved in one of my local jewelry store and can’t wait to have it on my wrist! Thanks for your insight and thanks for your review (even 3 years later, this watch ticks all the boxes).
I have had four Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic 38mm watches. All were exactly the same with the brown strap. I keep buying them a selling them to get something else. The last one was sold to get a an Oris Propilot. The thing is everytime I sell one I wish I hadn't. If I were to design my perfect watch it be almost exactly like the Hammy except for one thing. The sapphire is great but it needs some anti reflective coating.
As always an entertaining video. Both great watches, but I went with the khaki field quartz in PVD. The 40mm case size is a sweet spot for me, and I love the option of PVD. I agree with your knife philosophy. Always carry a sharp blade and an utility knife. 🤙
I’d agree with your choice Jory, because I did! I was all set to drop the bomb on the Auto, then they announced the new face-lifted version of the mechanical and I immediately ordered that instead! I love my little mechanical khaki field, can’t see it ever leaving my collection, it’s a keeper. Best regards from the UK, Dazza 🇬🇧
I bought the automatic for my nephew for his senior hs graduation in May. Same reasoning; while I loved the profile of the fields mechanical much better, I bought him the other because it's more versatile as a dress watch he could also wear to interviews. I actually bought him the Khaki King as it's a bit smaller at 40mm, has a threaded crown and I love the day+date detail
Automatic, hands down! I have a Hamilton mens dress watch that my Grandmother gave to my Grandfather on Christmas day in 1948. It's been all around the world with me, and still keeps excellent time. I wanted to add another Hamilton to my collection, and as soon as I saw the Khaki Automatic, I knew that was the one. I'll probably never own a Patek Philippe or an A. Lange & Son, but honestly, this Hamilton is a bargain at twice the price. I am confident that it will still be going strong when my son bequeaths it to his son. And so it goes. If you are in the market for a rugged, reliable, handsome field watch, the Hamilton Khaki Automatic is hard to beat. Buy one -- you'll be glad you did !
Tough choice! I like to have a date on my field watch because I lose track of days easily when I’m camping/canoeing. Plus better WR points me to the auto. Love both.
I own the Automatic. Just took it in for repair (mainspring) this year after 12 years of rugged service. I also own an auto Seiko 5 Sports blue, an auto Seiko Presage brown sunburst and several others ranging from a 16 dollar Casio digital classic to a Braun classic (quartz). The Hamilton was my first dive down into the the rabbit hole of collectors watches, and I still admire it.
Love my Auto with 80hr power reserve, and the fact you can dress it up too. Yes, the mechanical is more appealing to the diehard watch collector, but the auto is the better overall package imo
I prefer the quartz version. It‘s reliable, a joy to look at and it satisfies all my watch-needs. I like how accurate it is without me having to correct time every couple of days.
I like my 38mm mechanical but I’ve accidentally overwound it twice (within the first six months) and had to send it back to be fixed both times. I love the nato band though. I also have a 7.5” wrist and i feel that it’s just a hair too small on my wrist (I mostly wear 40mm-42mm) but I still wear it. In hindsight I probably should’ve gone with the 42mm automatic and got a nato
Man, I didn’t think I would like that 38mm hand wind on an 8” wrist but it’s perfect. Slips under my sleeve perfectly, I usually start at 40mm however I absolutely love the feel of it, I almost forget that I’m wearing it. I have actually forgotten it’s on my wrist. At 9.5mm it’s so slim, I like winding it in the morning, there’s something about the tactile sense with it. Everything else I have is automatic, definitely changed my thoughts on mechanical pieces.
I wear the titanium Version field Automatic. I'm a remote medic, wear it everyday. Tough watch. Light weight. Rubbish leather strap though. Changed that for a Haveston Patrol Olive drap nato strap. It makes the watch pop. The Lume at night, my god, it's like the beacons of Gondor ! End of day, it's nothing fancy but reliable especially in my line of work.
Hey. What about the Timex navy xl automatic !? I personal have'it for about a year. Works great, beat it up, mountain, sea, worck with it... Evrithing...
Are you forced to become an adventurer when you purchase these watches? Hey guys, What if you only walk 10000 steps that day, do I forfeit the watch, or will it just stop?
I got the khaki mechanical coming in tomorrow. It’s the discontinued version with the high beat movement, as well. Got a cordura strap separately and the watch for $400
I have the 38mm khaki automatic and find it to be a perfect travel watch since I don’t require a gmt complication. Took it on a recent out of country adventure where 50% was spent in cosmopolitan areas and 50% hiking/nature. It works with both blazers and loafers vs backpacks and boots. Also it’s not so showy to be eye candy for potential thieves depending on what part of the world you’re in. Would like to point out that the 38mm auto has long lugs. I have a 6.3 inch wrist and the 47mm lug to lug length is the max I can pull off.
He gets around to the watches at 4:36. Just snagged the mechanical version on eBay for $300. (Display model, effectively new and unused.) Dark green dial, green strap, a great look for outdoors activities. The sapphire crystal is the big deal here - you want that on any watch you expect will be seeing some abuse, and it's something you rarely get at this price. Accuracy is more than good enough: who needs the time to within a second when you're outdoors? For handsome dress watches that are similarly bargain-priced for what you get, I think Tissot is far and away the winner. Like the Hamilton, these aren't for watch snobs, they're for people who just want to own an excellent watch that they can wear for decades. (Some people pay this kind of money for garbage "fashion" watches, which is either hilarious or sad, depending on your point of view.) I have to point out that going from the mechanical's 9 mm to the automatic's 12 mm is an extra 1/3 in thickness. The thinner watch will get whacked a lot less often, and 9 mm is impressively thin for a quality timepiece.
I would choose automatic because I’m a very forgetful person so I would froget to Wind the watch and Peter I would look down at my watch and see it frozen in time
Another great vid ! I’m hoping to add the 38mm auto to my collection one day, just love the look of them. I’m picking up an snk809 soon which is fairly close to the mechanical.
I have both the Seiko SNK 809 and the Hamilton Khaki Automatic, and both are a terrific value for the money. Truth be told, I find myself gravitating toward the Hamilton more and more frequently when it's time to decide what to wear on a given day. My "collection" consists of fourteen timepieces that I have researched thoroughly before buying, and I am happy with all of them. "Collection" is in quotes because the most expensive watch I own was only two thousand dollars, and was a gift from a woman in China. Perhaps some day I will be in a position to afford a Rolex (in which case I would buy something else; never found Rolex watches all that exciting), but until then, I'll continue to shop for bargains, and the Hamilton Khaki Automatic is just such a watch.
This channel would be so much better if it didn’t take 5 minutes to get to the point of the video. Not trying to hate just saying this feels more like a vlog then a watch video
I have the 42mm khaki Titanium that is an automatic with the older ETA higher beat movement. I wish I had the 80 hour power reserve but that sweeping second hand looks so nice.
I love the automatic one I wish they would make it a the 38mm one with the simplicity without the date window too and same color, I’m looking to buy my first Hamilton ever and I love the 42mm size I don’t like the 38mm and I can’t decide HELP!!!
The new mechanical Hamilton uses the cal. H50 movement, which has a frequency of 21.600 beats per hour and not 28.800. It also has a 80 h power reserve just like the automatic.
I was all set to pull the trigger on the khaki King Day date PVD coated version. Until I started reading some of the reviews on Amazon and whatnot. I don't know if it's their QC or what. The people seem to be saying after a few months of owning them the accuracy gets terrible, and they seem to get water inside them without any heavy exposure. It was a real bummer reading some of these stories people had. About a lot of the Hamilton watches. I totally had my heart set on one of types of hamiltones. There's just too many people reporting condensation on the inside and them being inaccurate after some time owning them. For me to feel comfortable spending that much.😢 It was going to be my first "real watch" I think I'll just stick with my cheapos. If something breaks or goes wrong I'm only out 30 bucks or so. Instead of hundreds for service.
Just planning to purchase the mechanical over auto, but i believe the new 2019 khaki field model all used the H-50 with 80 power reserve, its no more 28,000v right?
I do like my Hamilton Khaki Auto Titanium. I've had it for over 4 years but had a serious issue about 5 months ago where the crown rusted from the inside. I got it repaired but I wonder about the water resistance rating for these watches.
I own two - a 2017 Field Mechanical hand-wind-only and a 1978 military-issue Hamilton Field Watch. Both are great. The '78 has that "vintage" look because it actually is vintage now and the lume on it has faded. But if I have to go back into the sandbox overseas to hurt people again, I'm taking my G-Shock negative-LCD solar and my Marathon tritium mil-issue mechanical hand-wind that even has tritium on the seconds hand. The rest of the collection goes into the safety deposit box at the bank.
I know the watch snobs won’t like this but my $130 Bertucci looks just like the $495 Hamilton mechanical. Yep I know it is quartz. However, there are other areas where it beats the Hamilton. First you get titanium instead of basic stainless steel. Also, the Bertucci gives you 200 meters water resistance instead of just 50 meters for the Hamilton. Sure the Hamilton is nice but I’ll stick to with my Bertucci and gladly pocket the $365 I saved.
I love both. The automatic for everyday and everywhere: office, home etc. The manual, for hiking , hunting, fishing. The outdoors. So. Well said. As a romantic, the hand wi d mechanic is a sentimental favorite.
The best is the 38mm automatic with steel bracelet. I personally own it and it's wonderful: you can really wear it as a dress watch, a diver or a field watch and it always look great on your wrist

My Hamilton field auto is a 38mm version of your 42mm with the new H-40 modified ETA movement which is a lower bpm but excellent power reserve.

The Earth’s surface is 70% covered by water. The earth itself is not 70% water. Just sayin’. That’d be insane.
Love my Hamilton, Love my Benchmade Griptilian too. Cheers man..great gear choices
Another great vid ! I’m hoping to add the 38mm auto to my collection one day, just love the look of them. I’m picking up an snk809 soon which is fairly close to the mechanical.
I have both the Seiko SNK 809 and the Hamilton Khaki Automatic, and both are a terrific value for the money. Truth be told, I find myself gravitating toward the Hamilton more and more frequently when it's time to decide what to wear on a given day. My "collection" consists of fourteen timepieces that I have researched thoroughly before buying, and I am happy with all of them. "Collection" is in quotes because the most expensive watch I own was only two thousand dollars, and was a gift from a woman in China. Perhaps some day I will be in a position to afford a Rolex (in which case I would buy something else; never found Rolex watches all that exciting), but until then, I'll continue to shop for bargains, and the Hamilton Khaki Automatic is just such a watch.
You actually did pick the best beef jerk!
Don't call Jory a jerk
Jerky! Wow! Sorry Jory!
Cedar Creek is better. Fight me.
This channel would be so much better if it didn’t take 5 minutes to get to the point of the video. Not trying to hate just saying this feels more like a vlog then a watch video
Someone may have said already, but I believe that knife is a Victoriox Cadet. Great video.
Earth is not 70% water. It’s just that 70% of earth’s surface is covered in water ,mate.
Hi ! Is the 38mm an eta 2824 or a h10? I would like a high beat watch like in thé video !
I have the 42mm khaki Titanium that is an automatic with the older ETA higher beat movement. I wish I had the 80 hour power reserve but that sweeping second hand looks so nice.
An automatic watch is a mechanical watch as opposed to a quartz movement.
I can’t decide between the two! 🤦🏾♂️
I love the automatic one I wish they would make it a the 38mm one with the simplicity without the date window too and same color, I’m looking to buy my first Hamilton ever and I love the 42mm size I don’t like the 38mm and I can’t decide HELP!!!
Where does the Halmilton Khaki king fall into place over the small date.
long time ago...but...learn to sharpen the blade on your knife...
The new mechanical Hamilton uses the cal. H50 movement, which has a frequency of 21.600 beats per hour and not 28.800. It also has a 80 h power reserve just like the automatic.
I got a mechanical one and was thinking about getting a automatic one. 😊
Nice review 👌💪 greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Why does the mechanical not have an exhibition case back?
I was all set to pull the trigger on the khaki King Day date PVD coated version. Until I started reading some of the reviews on Amazon and whatnot. I don't know if it's their QC or what. The people seem to be saying after a few months of owning them the accuracy gets terrible, and they seem to get water inside them without any heavy exposure. It was a real bummer reading some of these stories people had. About a lot of the Hamilton watches. I totally had my heart set on one of types of hamiltones. There's just too many people reporting condensation on the inside and them being inaccurate after some time owning them. For me to feel comfortable spending that much.😢 It was going to be my first "real watch" I think I'll just stick with my cheapos. If something breaks or goes wrong I'm only out 30 bucks or so. Instead of hundreds for service.
Gotta have the baby tribble on the shirt. LOL
Mechanical all the way. I love the WW2 aesthetic and that ticks all the boxes.
The lume is not good enough. The numeral markers don't light up.
I own a 42 Hamilton I love it had over 2 years. Had to seen it way before the 2 years was up.
Khaki Field
Titanium Far Cry® 6 Limited Edition 💪
Just planning to purchase the mechanical over auto, but i believe the new 2019 khaki field model all used the H-50 with 80 power reserve, its no more 28,000v right?
I choose ( drum roll) the beef jerky. Cant go wrong.
I do like my Hamilton Khaki Auto Titanium. I've had it for over 4 years but had a serious issue about 5 months ago where the crown rusted from the inside. I got it repaired but I wonder about the water resistance rating for these watches.
Watching this video is tantamount to drinking 3 cups of coffee in the morning to wake up. What stuff is this bloke on?
which of the two is more scratch resistant for an everyday watch?
I own two - a 2017 Field Mechanical hand-wind-only and a 1978 military-issue Hamilton Field Watch. Both are great.
The '78 has that "vintage" look because it actually is vintage now and the lume on it has faded.
But if I have to go back into the sandbox overseas to hurt people again, I'm taking my G-Shock negative-LCD solar and my Marathon tritium mil-issue mechanical hand-wind that even has tritium on the seconds hand.
The rest of the collection goes into the safety deposit box at the bank.
I would (and am) choosing the 38mm auto on the bracelet
I know the watch snobs won’t like this but my $130 Bertucci looks just like the $495 Hamilton mechanical. Yep I know it is quartz. However, there are other areas where it beats the Hamilton. First you get titanium instead of basic stainless steel. Also, the Bertucci gives you 200 meters water resistance instead of just 50 meters for the Hamilton. Sure the Hamilton is nice but I’ll stick to with my Bertucci and gladly pocket the $365 I saved.
Oh yeah and the Bertucci gives you the date too. 🙂
I love both.
The automatic for everyday and everywhere: office, home etc.
The manual, for hiking , hunting, fishing. The outdoors.
So. Well said.
As a romantic, the hand wi d mechanic is a sentimental favorite.
Almost every time I check the date on my watch the minute hand is covering it up. For reals. No joke. 🤦♂️
Cool setting! Get out of that city and into the wild where men belong.
Heck yeah!
I have the 38mm auto and love it. Looks and performs great, but would love to add the mechanical someday!
? huh
@guess what Do you need to compensate for something then? Aw someone's penis size is below average. 😂
@guess what lmao keyboard warrior
The best is the 38mm automatic with steel bracelet. I personally own it and it's wonderful: you can really wear it as a dress watch, a diver or a field watch and it always look great on your wrist
Fuzzy thing on your chest? You mean your beard?
