Khaki Field Automatic Men's Watch, 38mm Stainless Steel Case, Swiss Made, Black Dial Analog Wrist Watch for Men, 100m Waterproof, Sapphire Crystal, 3-Hand Movement, Cow Leather Strap

Arguably the best choice for an entry level Swiss watch. I'm coming up on two years of ownership of this watch and I like it a little more every time I wear it. In the world of field watches this is arguably the king. The 38mm size and styling are timeless. They looked good fifty years ago, they'll look good fifty years from now. There is no scenario where this watch will look out of place. Build quality is superb. You'll have to enter Tudor or Rolex territory to do any "better". The movement is the ETA C07.811+, more commonly known as the "H-10". It is no more (or less) than a modified ETA 2824-2 that has a 80 hour power reserve. It cannot be traditionally regulated, but it doesn't need to be. I typically set mine to the atomic clock on the first of the month and it'll gain or lose a couple seconds per week. You read that right. I'm usually 20 seconds slow per month. In summary: If you're wanting to delve into the world of Swiss watches and want a true go anywhere - do anything (GADA) watch, you'd be hard pressed to beat the 38mm KFA. It keeps fantastic time, looks great, and should last decades.

I’ve had this Hamilton Field about a week now. I’d previously purchased the larger 42mm model and ended up returning it. I have other 42mm watches and don’t mind the size, but I wasn’t happy with the bigger Field. Now having worn both I’m very sure exchanging the 42mm for the 38mm was the right choice. For perspective, I’m 5’11”, 190 lbs. In light of the large crown (more on that later) and where I wear a watch on my 7.5 inch wrist, the 38mm is much better. A 40mm might have been perfect, but that size is not available in this style. I think because of the understated nature of this watch, going big is unnecessary. Although watches the size of saucers seem to be the current style, I think it’s important to remember this is a watch reminiscent of an era when watches weren’t huge. It is of course styled after the Hamilton military field watches from the last century. Those were functional, purpose built watches that didn’t come in 42mm plus cases. Pardon the pun but this is a timeless design. Long after ‘style’ decides that huge watches are passé, this watch will endure. Another word about the crown: Proportionally it is somewhat large, particularly on the 38mm case. This might be a turn-off for some, but I look at it in keeping with the nature of the watch. This is an automatic movement with a manual wind capability. That means it needs some form of human interaction in order to function. The crown provides the manual interface and in this case it’s easy to access and manipulate. Note it is signed with a large “H”. Love it or hate it, you won’t ignore it. Much has been written on the ETA 2824-2 movement used in these Hamiltons. I’ll not repeat it all here but it is without question a very successful and respected design. Hamilton claims an accuracy between -10/+15 seconds per day which is reasonable for an automatic not certified by the COSC as a chronometer. Checked against the U.S Naval Observatory time signal, mine is gaining 10 seconds per day. That of course may change as the watch “breaks in”. With a modicum of care and proper servicing the watch will last a very long time. Recommended service intervals of three to five years seems to be the norm. Ignore those who say “Just wait until it quits to get it serviced.” This is an example of precision mechanics and should be treated as such. Yes, a quartz watch, or even the clock on your phone, is more accurate. If atomic clock accuracy is paramount, don’t buy an automatic. A couple of minor complaints: Antireflective coating on the crystal would have been nice. So would a locking crown. Without that feature I intend to be cautious about getting the watch near water. As mentioned by others, out of the box the band is very stiff. But after only a few hours wear I can already tell a difference, and I doubt it will take long to break in. The texture is smooth with even, white stitching and the brushed stainless branded buckle is a handsome choice. The band is 80x120mm excluding the buckle and I am using the fourth hole from the tip. Personally I like the black band vs the brown, although I am considering swapping it out for something with more texture, like a distressed or embossed croc leather band. It would also look great on a NATO strap if that’s your style. At 20mm between the lugs, the possibilities are endless. The lume is very bright. The hands appear to be twice as bright as the numbers. Overall the watch is simultaneously subtle yet striking. There aren’t a multitude of dials, complications or buttons. It doesn’t clamor for attention, but once noticed it definitely holds the eye. If you like simplicity and character in your watch, you’ll find it here.

I purchased this watch along with the 40mm automatic and 40mm Quartz versions. Although they all look fairly similar in pictures, in person the differences are very dramatic. This one lookds like a very classy version of a field watch, and is beautifully finished. Although the look was different than what I was hoping for, I don't take off any stars because it is a classic and well liked design. This "review" is just to point out a few things that are hard to see in pictures and even in videos, so that buyers will hopefully have an easier time purchasing online than I did. This watch has fairly large and long lugs for it's size, but the dial is VERY small and the bezel is very flat, which makes this watch look even smaller. With the long lugs the overall look is flat and rectangular. Do an image search online and look for a picture where you can see the top from an angle and all of the case side, you will see what I'm talking about. A lot of user pics are taken close up with the wide angle lens on phones which has a mild fisheye sort of distortion that makes the dial look bigger. A lot of the thickness or height is in the case back which is taller than the bezel. Personally I would have preferred a thicker case and taller bezel over the tall case back, more like the 40mm Automatic version. I don't agree with reviewers who say this watch "wears bigger/larger" than some other 38mm watches - Maybe in the sense that the long lugs are more likely to overhang smaller wrists, but the Seiko SARB033 and SKX013 for example are both 38mm watches but because of their design they look substantially bigger and thicker than this watch. Even on my 6.75 inch wrists the watch with it's black dial looked disproportionately small. A prominent visual feature of this watch is how the reflective curved crystal works with the polished outer and inner wall of the of bezel and the black dial. Update: I purchased the silver dial version which looks a lot bigger because of it's reflective / lighter color. While the black version looked too small, I actually wish the silver version was a slight bit smaller. There's that much visual difference between the two dial options.

Después de varios vídeos en Youtube , me llegó exactamente lo que esperaba. Contento con la compra.

初めて買った機械式腕時計だが、良すぎた。 デザイン、高級感、ケースやレザーや質感、どれをとっても嫌味が無く良い腕時計付けてるという満足感が得られる。 ハミルトンは機械式腕時計の入門として紹介されることの多い時計だが、完成度がとても高い。 マニュファクチュールでは無い点にこだわりが無ければ、もうこれで充分。 ETAのムーブメントはかなりの完成度なため、本当にこれで充分。

El reloj no coincide con el anunciado. Era Hamilton pero no era automático, y lo devolví.

Looks great, feels great; best value for money.
