Hamilton Men's Khaki King Automatic Watch

Having spent ages reading reviews and watching YouTube videos I finally took the plunge and got the Khaki King. This was after a long time making up my mind between this and the normal 38mm Khaki. I do not regret my decision. I'm delighted with the watch. It keeps good time, fits well and looks good. It oozes quality. It's my first Hamilton and I would recommend. Usual excellent service and good price from Amazon.

So here's the thing, I've never spent this much money on a watch. Matter of fact, I've always been someone who finds it to be silly to spend that kind of money on something like this. But I did so for several reasons and I'm going to share some of that with you so that maybe you will be able to explore some of these motivations within yourself. My hope is that buyers can understand when the expenditure makes sense and when they are just chasing status. I knew I wanted to buy something with a bit more of a price tag, which is a terrible reason by itself to buy a watch. It was between something like this or a really nice Asian Rolex superclone. I like auto watches but they are standardly nowhere near as accurate as literally every other style of watch on the market so I knew I would be trading accuracy for style. The question would be, is it worth it? Prior to this purchase, I own 5 watches; two Relics (one dress quartz, one dress automatic), a G-shock Rangeman, a Pobeda mechanical and a Monty Python novelty quartz watch, all of which I love. I shop watches incessantly and I knew I didn't need another one. But I kept circling back to this Hamilton. I always liked the anesthetic of the field watch and the Day/date complication on this one was really sharp to me. I also love the historical aspect (hence, the Pobeda) and I really liked the prospect of buying something nice with the WWII pedigree, even if it wasn't an antique piece in and of itself. As such, I wrote off the Rolex clone, not because I'm afraid to admit to wearing a fake Rolex (I actually looked forward to using it as a conversation starter to have gripe sessions with others about the prices of luxury watches) but because I decided I wanted to spend the money on something I could count on. Hamilton's Amazon store allows for returns and it's an established brand. The reviews aren't spectacular but in all fairness, reviews on watches are pretty spotty across the board on every watch you look at online so I take it with a grain of salt. As for the watch itself, it arrived with spectacular packaging, nice and protected. The dial is simple and elegant, especially for what is supposed to be a tool watch. The stainless finish on the bezel is basic but really nice and smooth. The watch is fully functional and remarkably accurate! I'm understanding some of the complaints about the Leather Strap it comes with as I have a large wrist and the strap arrives kind of stiff and unforgiving. But I resolved to give the strap a fair shot and I have to say that after a week and a half or so of daily wear, it's FINALLY STARTING to break in (a little bit). I'm enjoying checking the time on it and I find myself looking down at it even when I already know the time. I don't know if ANY watch is worth what I've spent on this one, but that's not Hamilton's fault or anyone else's for that matter. I made the decision and the important thing to remember is that I'm happy with that decision. I like the Swiss movement, I like the look of the strap, I like the historical pedigree and I like that when I die, I'll be leaving something valuable to my daughter. Happy with this purchase for many reasons. And yes, it's a really good watch that keeps sharp, accurate time!

Super finition du boîtier, le brossage est hyper fin comme sur les montres de très haute gamme le mouvement prend 2 secondes d'avance par jour ce qui est vraiment top Le bracelet est de très bonne qualité aussi, il faut l'assouplir un peu avant de le mettre. Bref qualité hamilton on voit la différence avec les montres de chez al... En asie qui du reste apporte beaucoup de plaisir aussi.

Vorweg, ich bin 100-prozentig zufrieden mit der Uhr! Hat für mich genau die richtige Größe. Vom Styling genau das was ich gesucht habe. Das Lederarmband wird recht zügig etwas geschmeidiger. passt bei mir super. Wenn jemand richtig dicke Handgelenke hat könnte es allerdings eng werden. Das Schweizer UhrWerk mit 80 Stunden Gangreserve spricht für sich! Die Anzeige von Datum und Wochentag ist für mich hilfreich. Von meiner Begeisterung für die Uhr möchte ich jedoch auch ein paar Objektive Punkte nennen: Die Datumsanzeige ist vielleicht etwas klein. Die Wasserdichtigkeit ist mit fünf bar angegeben, nicht so wie bei dem ähnlichen Modell mit zehn bar. Die Zeiger leuchten im Dunkeln nur mäßig und nicht lange nach. Das Saphireglas ist nicht entspiegelt. Gibt schon tüchtig Spiegelungen. Mich persönlich stört es aber nicht, im Gegenteil macht die Uhr vielleicht noch ein wenig klassischer! Trotz dieser kleinen Markel bin ich super zufrieden mit der Uhr! Die Uhr wurde schnell gut verpackt geliefert. Eine Quittung und Garantiebescheinigung auf Thermopapier wurde mitgeliefert. Nur die Garantiekarte war nicht vollständig ausgefüllt, bis auf den Stempel. Das konnte ich selber nachholen.

This is a great watch! Bueatiful as it is on the post. The leather strap is of high quality. It fits rather leassure or formal dresses. So far, it goes accurately. Love Hamilton.
