Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Black Dial Brown Leather Men’s Watch H69439531 Background: This Hamilton Khaki Field H69439531 is a faithful recreation of its original 1960s forebear and is true to Hamilton’s military heritage. Since 1945, Hamilton has maintained its close links to the military and has often used feedback from servicemen to refine and improve their watches as well as to help us create new pieces equal to the challenges of modern life. With partnerships with some of the world’s top military air squadrons and military academies, Hamilton looks forward to continuing the development of their signature Khaki collection pieces in the future. Inspired by the military, built to last, this is the original soldier’s watch. The Case: The slim 38mm case is made from silver stainless steel and has a matte finish to it. The matte finish almost creates a rough and ready attitude for this timepiece which would have been used in the harsh reality of the trenches. At the 3 o’clock position is the crown which once pulled out can be used to tell the time. Furthermore, the ever present Hamilton logo has been embossed on the side of the crown. Sitting in line with the case is glass made from a strong sapphire crystal material. The Dial: The black dial is complemented well by the white Arabic indexes and the old radium colour hands. The hands as well as some triangular indexes around the very edge of the dial are coated in a Super-LumiNova material which allows for easy visibility at night. The time can be easily read with a three hand display as well as a 12 and 24 hour display. Additionally, the Hamilton logo can be seen towards the centre of the dial. The Strap: A brown cow leather strap is what catches the eye with this piece. The leather is tanned, but has not been treated, pigmented and finished in the same way as some other leather straps. This helps it to retain its natural look and also means that ever piece is not exactly the same. It sits nicely around your wrist with a standard 20mm lug width and can be fastened using a standard pin buckle. For all you Hamilton enthusiasts, the strap reference is H600.694.106. It is sure to be a dependable and durable piece. The Functions: An exclusive movement has been used to power this timepiece. The H-50 movement has been specifically designed for mechanical movement such as this watch. It has an incredible power reserve of 80 hours, ensuring maximum reliability even when it is not wound for a few days. The watch also comes with a hacking function. When the crown is pulled out to adjust the time the second hand will stop. This allows you to set the second hand for precision timing. Once the crown is pushed back in the hands will tick from that second. This watch has a water resistance of 50 metres, making it suitable for surface swimming.
