Hamilton’s Khaki Field is the field watch.
There is no more prototypical or iconic example of a field watch than Hamilton’s affordable mainstay, which traces its origins to the WWI trench watches and WWII field watches that Hamilton supplied to the U.S. Army back when the Pennsylvania-founded brand still called America home.

These days, the most recognizable version of the Khaki Field is the Khaki Field Mechanical, a classically designed hand-cranker that retails for $595, making it one of the better bargains in the Swiss mechanical watch industry.
Still, if you wanted the absolute cheapest Khaki Field, then you would opt for the Khaki Field Quartz in 40mm. But at a price that was just $20 cheaper than the mechanical version — and with an arguably uglier design — you’d have little reason to.
But that has changed as of today, as Hamilton has introduced a brand-new Khaki Field Quartz that looks absolutely perfect.
