Product Information

Full details

The Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic Watch - 38mm - Blue is designed for individuals seeking a rugged, Swiss-made timepiece with a rich military heritage for everyday wear and adventure. Its key benefit is the reliable H-10 automatic movement offering an 80-hour power reserve, ensuring consistent timekeeping. A potential caveat is its 38mm dial size, which may be smaller than preferred by some users accustomed to larger watches. This watch combines classic 1960s design with modern functionality, featuring a durable stainless steel case, a striking blue dial with enhanced low-light visibility thanks to Super-LumiNova hands, and a tactical blue NATO strap.

FAQs

Does this watch need a battery?

No, this is an automatic watch. It is powered by the movement of your wrist or by winding the crown. It does not use a battery.

How long does the power reserve last?

The H-10 automatic movement provides an 80-hour power reserve, meaning it will continue to run for approximately 80 hours after being fully wound and taken off the wrist.

Can I swim with this watch?

Yes, the watch has a water resistance of 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, avoid deep-sea diving or high-velocity water activities.

Is the NATO strap interchangeable?

Yes, the NATO strap uses standard spring bars and can be easily removed and replaced with any 20mm watch strap for customization.

What is the material of the watch crystal?

The watch features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which offers superior durability and clarity compared to mineral glass.

How do I maintain an automatic watch?

Regular wear is key. If not worn daily, wind the crown periodically. Professional servicing is recommended every 3-5 years to keep the movement in optimal condition.

What is the significance of the 38mm size?

The 38mm diameter is a nod to the original 1960s military watches, offering a classic and versatile size that is comfortable for many wearers and fits easily under cuffs.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Ensure the watch has been wound sufficiently by shaking it or winding the crown. If it has been unworn for over 80 hours, it will stop. Wind it and wear it for at least 8 hours a day.

Watch is losing or gaining time significantly

Minor deviations (a few seconds per day) are normal for automatic movements. If the deviation is significant, the watch may require regulation by a qualified watchmaker. Ensure it is not exposed to strong magnetic fields.

Difficulty setting the time or date

Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for setting. Refer to the specific instructions for your model, as some may have a quick-set date function that should only be used when the time is not between 9 PM and 3 AM to avoid mechanical issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extended 80-hour power reserve from the H-10 movement.
  • Durable construction with stainless steel and sapphire crystal.
  • Excellent low-light visibility with Super-LumiNova.
  • Classic military-inspired design with a modern blue color scheme.
  • High water resistance for everyday versatility.

Cons

  • 38mm case size may be too small for those preferring larger watches.
  • NATO strap, while durable, might require adjustment for optimal comfort.
  • Automatic movement requires periodic wear or winding to maintain accuracy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Your Hamilton Khaki Field watch is powered by an automatic movement. To start it, gently shake the watch back and forth for about 30 seconds. For optimal accuracy and to fully utilize the power reserve, it is recommended to wind the crown clockwise 30-40 times after the initial shake or if the watch has stopped.

Compatibility:

This watch is compatible with standard 20mm watch straps, allowing for easy customization beyond the included blue NATO strap. It is designed for wrist wear and does not have electronic connectivity features.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the NATO strap, it can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
  • Water Resistance: While rated for 100 meters, it's advisable to avoid prolonged submersion in saltwater or exposure to high-velocity water (like jet skiing). Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorine. Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down before exposing the watch to water.
  • Servicing: Automatic watches benefit from professional servicing every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the movement.
