Pick up a steinhart ocean one. I believe new they're around 460 euros. Used more like $350. I purchased one several years ago and I'd have to say it feels better constructed than my explorer 1. People think it's a Rolex 90% of the time and ask if they can try it on. Eta movement as well.

HAHAHA LITERALLY I WAS GOING TO COMMENT THE SAME THINF Hahahha absolutely brilliant. “She always says that....” *looks down* hahahaha

I’ve had the exact model for over a year and absolutely love it. I’m a US Army Veteran and love the military heritage of the watch and company.

My dad gifted me this watch, and I love it. Very simple and something that I can wear every day. This is the watch that has gotten me into the watch scene and appreciating watches.

Adrian these drone shots are SUPER impressive, I'm just glad to be here for it. Cheers man (also upload your photos to your website so I can rip some for a wallpaper)

I just acquired this exact watch a month ago! I’ve loved every minute of it so far. It’s a really understated piece.

I can't sincerely think of another better watch at this price point. I had one, totally regret selling it! I'll get another one as soon as I figure which color! About the episode, I love the way you present the watch, just walking about in the middle of nowhere, talking to us like we are walking there with you! That is simply amazing! If it's possible, do more videos like that! Congrats on the great content!

You get a much more natural flow when you do outside-vidoes. Please go out more, it suits you! :)

yes I agree, even the one in cafes, or the watch shopping eps feel more natural

I have the green dial date version. Love it. Accuracy is superb. Mine runs +1.5 seconds per day. I've actually come to like manual wind over automatic. It also allows for a slimmer case. And this one produces a very satisfying clicking as you wind it.

I really appreciate what you are doing with the camera work. As a photographer I know how difficult this stuff is. Keep up the great work!

I agree absolutely. I'm wearing mine on the bracelet since it came out like this, and for my day to day it is perfect, so perfect I'm getting the white dial next.

I’ve got the regular black dial. Owned it since December. I must say I love it and it has become my daily. As I’m in lockdown I don’t need to wear anything fancy, it’s small and therefore not really cumbersome. I’ve still not got bored of the novelty of winding it. It’s my first manual wind and it’s made me want to get another. I’ve been looking into the vast array of watches that use the 6498 movement.

The newer Aviation Pilot Pioneer has that movement, Im really happy with mine 👌🏼☺️

This exact reference arrived in the mail yesterday; blown away with the value. Great video as always!

I’ve been wearing Hamilton’s for 20 years. They are my favorite brand far and away over any other. It’s not a bang per buck issue, they are just the best looking to me.

Great video! I like the way you worked in the plug for your awesome straps! It is very natural and does detract from the main content. The outside scenery is GORGEOUS!

Loved the video, huge fan on the snow crunch of every step 😌

As a serial flipper I've owned then all. However, I keep coming back to the Hamilton Khaki Mechanical. Purchased this model today, delivery on Wednesday. It's a beautiful watch. Enjoyed the review. Thank you.

I love the Hamilton khaki mechanical. It belongs in any watch collection. I wear mine all the time. In my opinion you have to get the manual wind. It just makes it nostalgic and fun.

Absolutely love Hamilton. I got my Khaki King on bracelet for £460.... looks great on bracelet, leather, rubber and canvas strap. Nearly sold it to fund a Sinn purchase but changed my mind.

This was (and still is) my first swiss mechanical watch. I love it

I love these outdoor video's!! Really cool where you are going with the channel!!

Just got a grey nato for my new khaki because I loved the look of it in this vid!

I just bought the black-dial version a month ago. Keeps excellent time and I find myself looking down at it a lot. Very handsome, practical piece.

Had mine for about a month and it keeps spot-on perfect time. I also think the white dial looks great. It also looks great on a strap (insert segue here). But, seriously, this watch is a strap monster. Really enjoying it. Thanks for the review - it gave me a nudge to buy the watch. Glad I did.

Hamilton are sooo beautiful watches!! And the price-value proposition from a Swiss made watch!! How could you go wrong?! These are just perfect for an every day/casual/weekend watch!! Just phenomenal timepieces!!

Loved the video. Have no need for the watch but I could listen to you talk about it all day.

My Hammie is the bronze mechanical khaki. So many people compliment the piece. The price is somewhat higher than the other Ham's but you get an impressive looking piece of kit.

Love the outdoor review!

Love this watch. On days I don’t wear it, I still spend 20 seconds with it, winding it. It’s the one watch I have a distinct relationship with.

You really make the white dials look amazing. I’ve been eyeballing this watch for a couple years now. Maybe i oughta pull the trigger on it soon. 🔥

Really enjoyed the review... best part of receiving gifts is returning the favor and giving back with something better, then the gifts you receive will also get better!

Loved your video as always mate!! Probably the best watch KZread channel around 😉

Great review, I own this particular watch (white dial) and the automatic in black as well, I own much pricier watches and these two are my favorites, absolutely fenomenal watches and the 80hr power reserved is fantastic…I recently discovered another good watch at only $439 USD with a Sellita SW200 movement, the Bunker from the Swiss Watch Co.

Another great video brother. I need to pick one of these up! Congrats on the new watch, very generous of your friend Ben BTW 👍🏼

The Khak defines field watch for me...this is such an awesome watch. - This video is beautiful, I had no idea Scotland every got so much snow 😊👍

Love this piece and one of fav into my collection...great content as usual mate!

You said it all. Watches that just tell the time. One of my favorite watches is my 1943 World War 2 black Faced Omega. The dial is simple but attractive. It is a 15 jewel manual wind watch. It keeps excellent time.

I have the black pvd one which looks cool. I also love winding this watch, the feel and sound are so satisfying. Only annoying thing is how reflective the crystal is

When I saw the title, I thought, it had to be Hamilton, my 2nd Swiss watch that I brought with my own money (after a Longines dress piece) is the Khaki Field Titanium PVDed. So light, better PVD than some of the Rolex custom I’ve seen, the eta mod 2824-2 is robust with extended power reversed. 3 years ago was £400, now I see it for £700 #shocking The double strap holes for the Hamilton “H” 2 pin buckle was a nice touch. You introduction of this manual whine piece is making me go back to looking to add another Hamilton, especially with Covid, what does a watch lover do but switch up the straps on his/her collection. Lovely snow Forrest hike shot adding to the vid.

I picked up the Seiko SPB155J1 last week for £488!... Stunning watch! But I also have the Hamilton, which I got for £295, so I'm happy both ways. 👍🏼

i totally agree. in my opinion, the hamilton khaki field in all its variations is the best mechanical watch you can get around 400-500 €. i own the 42 mm automatic version and it is definitely going to be a keeper in my collection. the eta movement runs within cosc standards, the watch works with all kinds of straps and the design is just timeless. so what more can you ask for at this price point? as you said, it is a no-brainer!

Great looking watch that is timeless! In a similar way as an Explorer! Great value and if I may say so, looks great on your straps! I have a pilots license and when I fly, it’s the Hamilton Khaki Navy GMT that I use. The legibility is key and why! Great upload as always

I have about 12 mechanical watches in my collection with lots more expensive than the Hamilton but this khaki field mechanical of mine keeps the best time of any at just over a second per day and has done so since I got it a year ago

I'm glad to hear someone else that prefers automatic watches to those that have to be wound.. I grew up in the 60s and early 70s with those and really don't want to go back. Anyway, I have the Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic and absolutely love it!

An exclusive ETA-modified movement such as H-50 only available for brands under TheSwatchGroup base from ETA 2801-2 with 80hours of power reserve. Nothing beats that at this price point really 👌

Hello Adrian. You probably won't see this comment now, but after seeing this video I started saving for this very watch and yesterday I bought it. All of my other watches, apart from a Casio F-91W that I gave to my son, have been gifts or inheritances, so I feel that the Hamilton is my first real foray into watch collecting and it is down to the strength of this video. Next? The Hamilton Khaki Murph (38mm) perhaps, or the Baltic MS-002.

It’s a great watch but for the same money( $350 US ) I bought a Seiko King Turtle that has sapphire cristal, ceramic bezel, great lume, 200m water resistant, screw down crown and it’s automatic,. I’m a huge fan of your channel, greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

I've always recommended Hamilton to everyone who are looking for their first entry level Swiss made watch. I don't even own one myself but have always seen the value for money with the brand

Hi, really liked the piece, I love the simplicity and clarity of the Hamilton. Let me give some context just so you understand I'm not a watch snob, I have a great collection of Swiss watches, mainly Rolex, many similar to your passions such as Kermit, older sub, Pepsi, Daytona etc. BUT, one of my daily wears is almost identical to the Hamilton, maybe smaller, but doesn't need winding as it's quartz. It's a lorus sports, has day and date and I've picked up a cream dial and blue dial version from eBay for about £20 each. On a nato they look great and very similar to the Hamilton, just no winding and saving circa £400 , can't argue with that !!!

Just bought this for daily wear. Great video, thanks!

Excellent shots at the start of this video.

I have the brown case and brown dial. Sensational watch.

My favorite piece in my collection. I did give it a more vintage feel, and swapped out the nato with a two-piece full grain leather. Mechanical here. I just like being different. :D

yup yup - I have this watch (and the black PVD one) and love it's versatility and simplicity. Works well with a plethora of straps and can be worn with pretty much anything.

@@thomasdillon3008 Hi Thomas - I can't say that I prefer one over the other, it's the reason I own both 😅The black one has rugged look to it which I love but perhaps not as versatile as the white one which can be worn with pretty much anything. You cannot go wrong with either - just pick the one YOU prefer and wear it in good health. I also have an older version with green dial and date complication - they are that fun! 🤗

Absolutely incredible pieces, especially at that price. I love the white dial, I have a black dial hamilton but think I'll sell and trade for the white soon.

I have literally watched 30 second on the dot (dunno how I hit it on the nail) and can already tell I like this video! Looks amazing with the snow and trees! OK, back to watching!

Just finished watching a video from Nico Leonard, he also mentioned the Hamilton Khaki - great watch. I have a Victorinox Inox, great watch.

Amazing video style, love the channel

Insane drone footage Adrian

Nice work man. Love the snow. Was lucky to get quite a bit on the east coast too. Haven't sledged like that in years ! I love my 38mm Khaki Field Automatic too...Reminds me very much of the first generation Omega Aqua Terra in terms of the quality of construction... And it'a automatic (easier) and smaller gaps between the lugs and bracelet (nicer with your B&J straps), sea-through back (fancy!), 100m water resist (aquatic!) and was only £416 when I got it last year at a discount on a steel bracelet (bargain)....Lovely in every way. Hamilton are making some fantastic watches.

It’s a hell of a watch! Best value in its category without question.

Another great video Adrian.

I have this watch and was considering selling it (just thinning out collection) but this sort of made me fall in love with it all over again :)

I wear the black version of this watch with your black NATO every day and I love it.

She always says that! Brilliant! 🤣

Always a fab watch, thanks

ive actually been thinking about this watch for a long time as it has some sensible points of interest considering the price point. even if you dont like it, its not the end of the world unlike burning 10k on an omega

Love my Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Green dial. Excellent watch. Great value.

I like the fact the title has no question mark, without doubt the best Swiss Watch under £500

Obviously there isn't quite the history there, but the new Swiss Watch Company Bunker model field watch is worth checking into. This Hamilton is classic, and I love how many variants are available.

You can also consider the CWC Mellor tribute hand wound field watch as am alternative, it is also a functional miltary watch with pedigree and that they have also served and issued to British military forces

I have this very watch with the green nato strap it came with. My daily wearer as an electrician. I have the PRX with the green waffle dial which again is a lot of watch for around £500. Both seem to get more wrist time than BB58 and Globemaster.

Wow, so refreshing with that landscape! I really like they left out the 'Khaki' on the dial here, a version without the fauxtina would be a homerun for me ✌

Every time I see this watch it immediately reminds me of my Orient Defender One.

Good on you for having a friend like Ben.

Nice watch ... I collect watches and a lot of people who have a really expensive watch collections recommend the Seiko SNK809 for kicking around . For the price you can’t beat it I just purchased it and it was well worth the $120 . 😊

I have this watch and it’s awesome 👍 It just goes to show that you can get a great non quartz watch for less than £500 👌 I actually got mine for half that 😉

Excellent watch, I have the black dial (pre H50 movement). Looks killer on a gray NATO.

Many thanks Adrian for presenting such a great and simple watch 👍💪🙂👏

The Hamilton Khaki actually has a Khaki, or Brown color..got one after watching this video and I love it!!

I saw this "polar" white dial on a Hamilton mesh strap. I loved it. That's my plan now.

Great video!

Love the content man big fan! Big inspiration!

Spot on, Adrian. I own two of these and I love them. They are nato strap monsters (that B&J grey nato is stunning, by the way); but, for some reason, the watch doesn’t work well on my leather straps due to those longer lugs. There is nothing that currently competes with this Hammy, in my opinion. My discontinued Seiko SARG 009 offers everything and more at the same price, but that was a long time ago.

i bought one last week and love it, good video BJ
