Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical anyone?
Just landed a Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical. The spec is a good easy-to-wear watch: 38mm case, 9.5mm thick, 20mm lug size, hand wind with hacking, no date. Sounds like a fun keeping-it-simple watch to wear for not a lot of money.
I do enjoy how simple it is, no date complication to set and I really like the low profile case and having a hand wind movement. Anybody else picked up one? Hamilton web site: https://shop.hamiltonwatch.com/hamil...echanical.html

Looks great! I’ve thought about getting that same one. Hard to beat for the price.

This IS the brown version. The office lighting and protective plastic made it look dark.
Here's a wrist show with the wrong NATO strap, but you get the idea. :)

I've had one for years, I kinda like the new dials more so I'll need to contact some Swatch group friends to hook me up.

I absolutely love mine and wear as a daily and save Rolex and Patek for the weekends. Perfect size and the look of it is killer

Quick update:
Different straps on this Hamilton is a lot fun. I would say its approaching Panerai level of strap changing fun. And thank you to Hamilton for putting drilled lugs on the watch. I probably would change the spring bars to 20mm shoulderless spring bars later on. :) The watch has been running about + 4 or +5 sec a day, the crown is big and easy for hand winding. The only "real" complain is that I wished Hamilton had put a AR coating on the underside of the crystal (or even give me a plexi glass instead) and the lugs would curve down just a bit more so the case would hug a little for smaller wrist size. Otherwise, kudos to Hamilton for making a simple hand winding field watch with no date complication. Love this watch and I would recommend it. :) I wore it on a black BUND strap for a while and really like this combo. The watch case is low profile and works with BUND strap quite well for my wrist size. 2 more straps incoming Will give the brown BUND a try later but it looks like a good match to the dial Wearing this sand-color(?) on blue stitch
