Hamilton has launched a 41mm case diameter version of its Khaki Frogman diver. The all-rounder timepiece has 300m of resistance and features the H10 80 hour automatic movement. Plus it comes in steel bracelet or rubber strap options. The RRP is £1120 either way, so we say get the bracelet and buy an aftermarket silicone strap if you do venture underwater. The new watch makes … Continue reading Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman, Now in 41mm Case Size
The latest variation on the Hamilton Khaki Aviation is the Converter Chronograph, a blue dial slide rule bezel watch, which makes a budget alternative to the Breitling Navitimer. Your scales are set on the bezel and the inner chapter ring too, so rotating the bezel lets you calculate speed over a given distance, or pounds of fuel being burned by the minute, assuming your biplane … Continue reading Hamilton Khaki Converter Gets Chrono Features Too
Hamilton has a new, slightly more compact version of its Khaki Field watch online. At 38mm it’s exactly right some might say, since a field watch really needs to be small enough to be tucked away under your North Face anorak, as you ramble the hills and moors.

Hamilton have announced a new quartz chronograph, available on pre-order. The Khaki Aviation X Wind GMT has a military green dial colour, plus the usual multi time zone features.

At … Continue reading Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Wind Quartz, Now With Olive Green Dial
The military watch should always be basic; stripped down to the essentials, clear dial numbers, lume, decent winding crown so you can operate using gloves outdoors – those kinda touches, do we agree? Yeah, Seiko have been doing this right for decades and ther’s a range of mil-spec Indie models too. But if you want a Swiss brand name, then Hamilton has this titanium case … Continue reading Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium: Basic Tool, Touch of Cool
Hamilton’s new Khaki Pilot Mechanical channels the spirit of the 19th century pocket watch, but in the altogether handier wristwatch format. Of course, you could buy a vintage pocket watch that’s been re-cased for wristwatch duties, often called a marriage watch. But this is brand new, not a century old or more, so you get a guarantee and that H31 movement, which powers so many … Continue reading Hamilton Khaki Pilot: Vintage Looks, Modern Tech
Italy has a great aviation history so it’s no surprise that Hamilton wanted to celebrate it. For example Piaggio built the first bomber with a pressurised cockpit for high altitude work back in 1919. Then there’s the incredible story of Umberto Nobile’s adventure in an airship, and subsequent rescue, as he journeyed to the North Pole back in the 1920s – well worth reading if … Continue reading Hamilton Khaki Take-Off Celebrates Aviation Expertise
Hamilton has added a Camo variant to its Khaki range. The 45mm watch gets a NATO strap, plus beige and green colours on the dial and inner bezel.
