Like so many suggestions a few years ago, this was my first Swiss automatic watch and I still absolutely love it! Thanks for bringing the Khaki King up. I've seen so much love for the Khaki Field but very little (and much deserved) love for the King. It's my go to watch every evening when I get home from work and change into my comfy clothes. It looks awesome on an old brown leather strap and extremely comfortable.

Excellent choice for the field watch giveaway MWC! So much to like with the Khaki King. A perfect daily wear GADA watch and a slightly more spruced up version of the down and dirty Khaki Field Mechanical. I’d personally always prefer to sacrifice that 80 hour power reserve for a smother sweep but I know a higher power reserve is something people do care about and lowering the beat rate on an otherwise stock ETA 2834 is a really clever way to extend that power reserve but not need a new bespoke movement which must help keep costs lower for us punters. Absolutely stellar job with the edit MWC! Felt so slick and even more professional than usual. Talk about upping your game 🙌

Love the watch! The hands and that dial really do it for me with the concentrical circles it's practically a sector dial. At least on the 12th of each month it'll seem as though the 12 is there :D As for the video itself it's nearly flawless.

Great review, I love the Khaki I have and I definitely have my eye on the king I like that day and date complication mine only has the date at 3:00

I really love my Hamilton. I purchased the brown dial version though on the leather strap. Even though it says brown on the Hamilton brochure it is really more of a champagne look when shown in light. A very modern take on the traditional field watch as we know them and it can be worn with any dress attire being slim on the wrist and having the day/date function. I have had mine for three years now and the time keeping is very good in my own experience. I purchased mine in a sale for £350 so a very good deal for me.

Mate i really hope you blow up as a watch reviewer. the amount of work you put into your videos is above anything else I have seen. Also I love your "what the wife says" part because lets face it. we all want to have a female perspective on what we wear since it adds to our image. Also as a fellow tennis player/coach of course. Regarding the Hamilton it is my daily watch. I have a Khaki field officer 44mm that fits well on my large wrist . I bought an after market leather band and i treated it with water repelent (the one you put on leather boots) and I wear this watch to tennis and the band does not absorve sweat . I also ocationally forget to take it off to shower and the band dries up as quick as rubber.(just make sure to threat the holes in the band too) The band I bought was from Deep Blue since they have lovely affordable leather bands for 12 us dollars. regards from Miami Fl!

Ive really tried to get into Tissot, there is just something about them that feels 'entry level swiss' polished parts in places that look out of place and look a little off. I don't get that with Hamilton. The PRX is a huge cash grab aswell as the auto looks more like a Royal Oak HOMAGE than the watch its celebrating from its history! [Why i like the Quartz more!] Hammy I don't think would do that. Both under the Swatch Group so they probably have !

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Agree, Hamilton obviously has more respect for their heritage. Also agree that the quality of the PRX is a bit disappointing and the watch massively overhiped. Think the Gentleman is decent though. Would go for the Quartz cause it's slimmer but they offer the green one only as Powermatic... 😕

Love mine. Bracelet as I have had poor luck with leather wristbands. Kind of a (very) poor man's Rolex Explorer. Hugh Laurie wears one. Not that an actor knows much . . . but I tend to believe he does. Jeeves, Black Adder, friend of Stephen Fry and all. Though I didn't learn this until after I had purchased mine . . . I still find it life affirming. Not my entry level Swiss. I have a Hanowa dive watch I bought in Geneva in 1973. 23 Jewel mechanical. Still works fine. I wear it when sailing and kayaking.

This is my next watch ! I like the day display and everything about it . It will be my daily watch i have decided

Nice watch but have to agree regarding the 50m rating WTH? Mr. Pagani cracks me up!🤣 Thanks for the review bud. All the best!

Seeker! Appreciate you finding the channel!

I’ve always thought the Hamilton Khaki King is the Rolex Day Date for the average joe. Packed full of decent specs and a whole lot of watch for the money. It looks really easy to read too. I’ve accidentally worn watches with only 50m WR in the shower before and they seem to be working fine still although, you’re right, I probably wouldn’t want to risk it with a watch that looked as nice as the Hamilton. RE. The show. They keep getting more and more professional and informative Russell. Good on ya lad! P.S favourite Hamilton at the moment is my Hamilton American Classic intramatic although I’m yet to acquire a Hamilton field watch!

Top guy thank you Nelson! Yeah was a bit tongue in cheek that comment, the watch would be fine in the shower getting wet, we as watch enthusiasts love to see that 100 m WR somewhere on the watch!!:]

Hey MWC! How do you think this watch would hold up to life in the emergency services? Currently considering this amongst other higher luxury pieces such as a BB58 and SMP300😁

Excellent looking watch!

i need that khaki pioneer. love a type A dial

I like the Hamilton field watches but haven't followed through with buying one yet. The long lug-to-lug is one reason I've hesitated since I have thinner wrists. I hate it when watch lugs do that whole hang-over-the-wrist thing. Still, I do like the styling and design of many of the Khaki models. I really just need to find somewhere in my city I can try one on.
