Khaki Field King Day-Date Automatic

OFF DUTY, OFF GRID, BY DESIGN

Meet the Hamilton Khaki Field King, a heritage field watch reimagined for leisure, longevity and life beyond the beaten path.

Born from Hamilton’s transition from military supplier to civilian watchmaker, the Khaki Field King has always marked a moment of change. Today, it returns with a renewed purpose. Refined, relaxed and unmistakably functional, the Khaki Field King is reimagined as a modern companion for modern adventure and exploration.

The original Khaki King emerged in the years following World War II, as Hamilton began translating its military expertise into watches for civilian life. Rugged construction and clear legibility remained essential, but the context shifted. Watches were no longer issued. They were chosen. That balance between utility and approachability continues to define the Khaki Field King today.

This latest evolution embraces that legacy while softening its posture. Designed for leisure, outdoor exploration and unstructured time, the Khaki Field King sheds overt military cues in favor of a cleaner, more relaxed expression.

The removal of the 24-hour scale opens the dial, allowing the Arabic numerals, minute track and signature day-date display at 12 o’clock to take center stage. Set in contrasting tones, the day-date window reinforces clarity while giving the King its distinctive presence.

Positioned for wear beyond the field, the Khaki Field King is built for those who value reliability without rigidity. It transitions easily from weekday routines to weekends outdoors, from travel to time spent off the grid. Whether worn on a leather strap or steel bracelet, it reflects a mindset rooted in preparedness yet defined by freedom and the desire to pursue the unknown.

Behind its refined appearance, the watch is engineered for durability. Water resistance has been increased to 10 bar, supported by a robust sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating for improved legibility in changing light. Inside, the H-40 automatic movement delivers an 80-hour power reserve and enhanced resistance through a Nivachron™ balance spring. Meanwhile an upgraded bracelet construction and a stainless-steel movement holder reinforce long-term resilience and reliability.

Designed for days beyond the routine, the Khaki Field King brings field-watch reliability into a new era shaped by freedom, exploration and adventure.
