Hamilton watches are innovative, unique and eminent for their American Spirit and Swiss Precision. Fans admire these timepieces for their  excellent performance standards, Swiss-made movements, as well as strong movie, military, and aviation heritage. The brand’s evergreen watch collections include the Khaki Field, Khaki Aviation, Khaki Navy, Ventura, and Jazzmaster.Today, we would like to speak about one timepiece from their outdoor Khaki collection- a timeless epoch under their belt since 1914.  After all, the brand’s Khaki collection is the epitome of best value Swiss manufacturing timepieces today.  Further, this particular piece is a cross-over with the movie world, playing a key role inside the 2014 blockbuster “Interstellar” film.

One of the science fiction's most famous watches known by fans as 'The Murph' is now manifest in the Hamilton Khaki Field Murph Ref. H70405730 that we are unveiling today. This timepiece with sapphire crystal has a 38mm stainless steel case and a lug width of 20mm , ensuring that it can stand elements of the weather and not rust easily. A combination of both brushed and polished stainless steel throughout the case mimics the typical sporty yet with beautiful contrast. Further, at this sporty size, the Khaki Field bears 100m water resistant and wears exceptionally well and versatile from most of our wrists, both for men and women. Also, its well suited to the military-inspired design.

Moreover, the watch features an ultra-readable black dial, beige vintage-style Super-LumiNova® finished hands and black leather strap,mirroring the major aesthetic outlines of its 42mm progenitor. Ok, we are not done with the case built. Further, the case features a domed sapphire crystal accentuating above the thick polished bezel. Paired on the opposite side with a screw-in exhibition case back with essentials specifications engraved onto it. The flanged crown has knurling on it, done with the right size for one to wind the watch up with ease.

Moving onto its military-spec dial, it is done contemporarily yet still conformed to look like the MIL-W-46374, while let us described it like how Eminem rhymes his selective words with his instrumental bars- uncluttered, vintage, utilitarian, soldier-ly, and versatile. The dial took the ode-to-the-past aesthetic, like, for instance, only bears the “Hamilton” and “Khaki Automatic” titles on the dial, luminous cathedral hands, and all of them done with vintage tone on black background for legibilty with nostalgia. Notably, there is no date display done at the 3 o’clock position, resulting in a symmetrical dial for the field watch while keeping things balanced overall.

What sets this model to be atypical would be the particular detail that references the movie. Conceived as a subtle yet genius addition, the seconds hand’s SuperLuminova plots are applied tiny lines and dots that spell out “Eureka” in Morse code. Therefore, strapping the Khaki Field Murph to the wrist, one can conclude the built for function above all things and built to last like during wartime, while draws a little whimsical charm for most of us, who believed only to do from desk-diving to cafe hopping to be our daily activities.

The unisex sizing of this watch belies its excellent H-10 automatic movement with a superior 80-hour power reserve, permitting you to don a sporty yet sleek look when you wear it. You can admire this movement from the exhibition caseback.

Topping the classic look of this sporty watch would be the cow leather strap and pin buckle with an 18mm buckle width. As one of science fiction’s significant timepieces, today’s new watch with a more slender frame is bound to delight. After all, good things also can come in smaller designs.
