Thanks for the feedback mate, I think I get to excited when new watches come out sometimes. I’ll try and do better! Appreciate it.

Thanks for the beautiful backdrop, I just ordered this watch in 41mm with a Stainless Steel bracelet. Love the white Dial 👍

The white dial version with the military olive nato is *chefs kiss*

Haha cheers dude. Hamilton have nailed this one!

Lol, dropping the cameo there 3/4 of the way through. Nice vid ... I like the leather and get my nato's from Adrian

It particularly looks good on the B&J strap!

That was an awesome and beautifully filmed review. Lovely looking watches. Not sure if I'd use the compass, but I suppose it can still be used for timing .... love it white

Did not expect the cameo/collab... though the cheeky intro should have tipped me off. Great review and very entertaining to watch. Not sure this piece fits my personal style/collection, but it's definitely a cool option and I'm glad it exists.

I'm tempted to get this in a white dial and sell my Hamilton Khaki Field automatic with the black dial. In terms of straps, I'd like Hamilton to ship it with a leather strap with quick-release spring bars. I already have a dozen 20mm fabric straps, both NATO and pass-through, and I love switching them out. UPDATE I bought one in 37mm with a leather strap. I'm in love. It works with a wide range of straps, and mine keeps almost perfect time - within 1-2 seconds a day!

Amazing video, amazing watch. Very well-done, Harrison. Hope you enjoyed your time in Canada!

I've had both mechanicals and quartz fail me in the outdoors. Although, both times, it was partly user error. I mean, I saw a Alpina add of someone taking their diver into ice-water, and when I did the same I noticed the (quartz) movement started acting up the day after. The second hand got stuck every now and then. And another time, I was XC skiing, and seem to have exposed my watch to too much direct cold air, such that it in combination with the shocks from the ski poles, the (mechanical) movement became a double digit number of minutes (up to 50 min) unaccurate per day! So, it's like, quartz is weak to extreme temperature shocks, and mechanical is weak to being cold and getting lots of shocks at the same time. And for me, the latter is the most encountered scenario, which my quartz watches (Citizen Promasters) has dealt with admirably. And also, with quartz, I know that if it's working, it's extremely likely damn accurate. The Citizen Ray-Mears Titanium is my dream "adventure watch". It looks field/tool-watchy, and has a great case and bracelet in Titanium. But it sure doesn't look nearly as nice as this one... Not even close. But as an actual exploration/hiking watch or "companion for the great outdoors", I'd take it over any automatic any day.

Great video, lovely cameo. Fine watch. I’ll have the 41 in black.

Two points that came to my mind while watching: 1. There is a way to determine the directions by using an analog watch and the sun. This makes the compass bezel really handy 2. Highest grade ETA movement? Would be chrono grade, wouldn't it? Doesn't say chrono on the dial tho...

You can find a few that put the date at 4:30, leaving all the numerals (or indices, depending) intact.

You should use your diver’s timing bezel more. It’s incredibly useful. Time your pasta. Time you drive. Time in hours. Time in minutes

I loved the format of this video, but of course that kind of backdrop is hard to beat. That location is a bucket list trip for me, and was the place my university roommate went on his honeymoon. The Adrian cameo was brilliant. As for the watch, this is a great release. I'm getting a '90s/neo vintage vibe for some reason, but it's in all the best ways. It's a very tough looking watch, without being ridiculous like some out there. I originally was feeling that black dial was the best, but maybe the white one might be it. I really don't have a solid white dial watch (not counting my Mission to Mars MoonSwatch as that's just for fun). Details like the level of movement are the important details we need to know. I'm sure people were wondering why it's not just priced near their other offerings, and those definitely do not have the same movement. I agree with the NATO strap being a solid move, but a lot of regular folks may want to wear it to an office on a comfortable leather strap. I know I wore my 20 year old dressy Victorinox field watch (38mm btw) on leather to the office for years. Now a days, I'd get the bracelet variant and add my own NATO as I felt the need. Finally, I do love that this comes in both 37 and 41. I get the small watch theory, but I'm a very tall guy and feel the 41 would be perfect for me and my wrist.

Love it. Wish it was a fully lumed dial.

Love it, LOVE IT! Agree that it should have the Nato strap in green that you have Harrison.

Love this video format man, they're brilliant. Also... ADRIANNNNNNNNN!

This is an awesome watch! Similarly to car companies sharing chassis and frames with their subsidiary brands, this feels like Swatch mixed a Hamilton khaki with a Planet Ocean “chassis.”

How I wish I could hike with you two and talk about Hamilton watches.🤩

if they use the old eta movement then i am sold

You’ve definitely upped your video production game 👏🏻

If you look for just one watch this new Khaki Field is what you look for

It isn’t a compass, just a rotating bezel with letters printed on it. Using your watch is an emergency, survival, method and the bezel really doesn’t help (and you have to see the sun, and don’t forget to allow for day light savings time/summer time). A time function in the field would be more useful for estimating distance, and is useful in daily life for timing things. It is nice looking watch, but think they made the right choice with leather over NATO, which are dead cheap and available everywhere if you want to use it, leather is nicer for every day use. And a NATO increases the thickness by a couple mm.

Ahhh had to pause the video at 6 mins in to comment that I love the surprise cameo from Adrian!!! Ok... now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

@@ChisholmHunterOfficial is it still broken? I really like the khaki field pioneer aviation. The small one. Would love to chuck it on a rubber strap. But this new expedition may need checking out ☺️

I think the contrasting stitching on the leather strap takes away a bit from the dressiness. It might not be the best material against water damage, but it gives it a rough, outdoorsy/rustic look IMHO...

Man what a great video! Excellent collaboration!

i would still go with the khaki field mechanical & just buy a suunto compass that i can attach to the strap, it’s not everyones cup of tea, but it works for me, & saves me a lot of money 😂

I honestly try to see the beige lume as just a colour but I can’t sadly. Otherwise I absolutely love this piece, great modern feel.

I filled in the markings on the bezel on mine with black enamel. Something about them being plain made the watch look incomplete.

Such a cool watch, even with the compass bezel. If every watch has the same specs/functions, every watch would look the same. Good for Hamilton for doing something a bit avant-guard for a daily wear.

Seiko Alpinist is much cheaper and does the same work! Also tried and tested.

Great watch. Great video. And there’s Adrian. 😃

6:40 I do not think so. Longines ETA movements? Like the A31

I adore your photos! Which camera are you using?

If only the hour hand were different and the lume was all white. At least there's a reasonably sized one (37) Lake Louise and Moraine Lake were nice backdrops for it.

Looks awesome with that grey nato. Where is that strap from?

Please kindly talk about how the anti reflective coating of this watch? Adequate enough to eliminate the crazy glare?

Great video. Still not sure how it qualifies as a working compass?

Nice collaboration

❤seeing you and Adrian in my beautiful county. ❤Hamilton Khaki Field Automatics. My main everyday is a Hamilton Khaki Automatic 42mm black day/date on a nato

7:26 the second hand on the black one is moving like a quartz

It looks like a khaki Scuba with crown guards ground down. Are they using the scuba bezel mechanism and putting on a compass bezel. I’ve had my Scuba for 2 years and it’s my daily wear for work. It’s still looking good even though it’s got a few battle scars. I’ve been looking at a Khaki field for a year or so. Maybe prices will come down now this beauty is being released.

Excellent video on a beautiful location, agree should come with nato or 😮 zulu strap Not a fan of white faces perhaps a beige or pastel green texture face but that's my opinion guy's !

Does this hamilton has the same movement like the khaky navy scuba 2023 43 mm???

Maybe it's just me, but I think the compass bezel is a waste of space. I was already familiar with the trick of pointing the hour hand at the sun to figure out south, so I figured it would be cool to have that function built in and bought a SARB017 Alpinist. BUT... even when I'm wearing that watch, I find it easier to figure the compass points in my head than fiddle with the bezel, which will only need to be refiddled in a few minutes anyway as the earth turns a little more. You also mentioned automatic as a desirable upgrade, but there is already the Khaki field auto (which also has 100M water resistance), and the 38mm Murph to go a bit upmarket.

What nato straps are y’all using and what size? Thank you!

Amazing review and very funny!!

Where did you get that open triangle ring from?!

The movement of the second hand at 1:35 to 1:44 sec is abnormal for automatic watch, not smooth.

100% getting one

Is Adrian wearing the 41? Torn between the 2 sizes…

Great looking watch in a great video.

Did ETA movement watches EVER use plastic parts? Nope, I don't think so The Seiko 5 watches do, but only on the date/day changer mechanism. Talking of dates, , I always prefer that complication, and my Hamilton Field watch with H10 movement, at 38mm diameter, has that. Good video!

Hello, the C07.111 that is an ETA Powermatic 80 found in the Tissot PRX does utilize some polymer parts. Hamiltons normal H-10 is a C07.611 which does not have plastic parts. This one has upgraded non-magnetic capabilities on top of the normal C07.611. Idk the other differences though I don’t think it’s chronometer certified

This is a great release from Hamilton. For the price it's not bad either. The compass bezel is an interesting one but you need to see where the sun is to be able to use it and of course know if you are in daylight saving time. Personally I'll be sticking with the Hamilton watches that I have including my old faithful Khaki Mechanical on the NATO. I love that watch.

I wear it often now last 12 months wore more than the black dial. The black dial is more traditional, and if could only have 1 watch out of the 2 that would be it, but love having both. Love the slimness and comfort stuggling with thick watches now.

it's the same caliber with metal parts not plastic like Tissot uses! but the dial is very poor for the price

I mean, it's not really a compass per se, is it? I guess you can use it to record a bearing you want to follow, but it's not like it points north on its own... Good-looking watch, though!

The styling is good. It looks great on the NATO. However, Swatch group movements are really way way way off the mark.

Will the new Hamilton Kaki Field Expedition watch protect you from bears in Canada? If one is running like hell from a bear, he or she could care less knowing the direction of true north. With a grizzly bear bearing bearing down on you, one does not have time to screw around with a bezel to find true north. Most likely the trail meanders all over the place, hence, true north is irrelevant.

It looks like a Twenty year old TIMEX EXPEDITION!You can Wear This watch when you're not Wearing Your Moon /Swatch!

Nice commercial

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO , why the fake patina lume , for fux sake NO! mORE

The price is extremely awkward... at around 1k... im not sure how many people want to hike and actually backpack for days on end in a 1k watch. They are pricing out their base and it's showing As a swatch investor, I'm not extremely happy with the move towards the higher end in what is essentially supposed to be a tool watch. Its awkward Edit - i believe at $500-600 this would be an amazing watch, but at 1k... there is a lot of competition and your use as a field watch is limited. You're going to have to be well off or a watch dealer to actually take this in the mud and rain Edit edit - however I'm in love with this watch, but at the price, i doubt ill buy it

Nice video on a good but wayyy overpriced watch that is going to sell like crazy anyway.
