I saved someone’s life in this watch: Hamilton khaki field Ti review

If you think of a capable watch for any sort of crazy situation that might arise one might go to a field watch and for good reason. If these type of watches can faithfully serve in the hands on militaries during some of the worlds heaviest warfare then surly they can handle whatever you throw at it in everyday civilian life. I am a doctor of physical therapy and I wanted to treat myself the best way I knew how when I earned my white coat, buying a watch. I went for a brand that is well regarded as one of the best Swiss watches one can get without breaking the bank, a Hamilton khaki field. Mine was a special edition that was in titanium and was automatic. It was a bit larger than a standard kahki field as well at 41mm and looked far more tactical as it had a blacked out dial, a black textile strap, and a blacked out PVD case. This watch looks like it was made for solid snake himself, which was perfect because I didn’t know it hey but I was going to save someone’s life in this watch. It has a retail price of 1000 dollars even but I was able to pick it up on jomashop for right around 600

Fast forward a few years here I am working as a pediatric physical therapist in the beautiful city of Anchorage Alaska, where surprise surprise the crime rate is incredibly high. You’re not going to get your watch nicked here like you are in London it is mostly homeless and homeless crime here. The problem is we have a different breed of hobo. These homeless live in the freezing cold and chop each other up with machetes.

one day while at work I was in the middle of working with a 1 year old patient playing a game revolving baby shark or something of that like when the front desk staff run up and start screaming at me to get outside. A crazy man was attacking one of my patients mothers in the parking lot. I ran outside and told him to get the F out of here and to my surprise he squared up with me. This was a mistake as I am an ex professional mma fighter. They threw 3-4 punches which all missed and I took his back and took them down. I thought they might have a knife so I pretty quickly jacked his hands up his back and held him there. I found this whole scenario so funny and unexpected that I had to let me wife know so I sent her this text in real time.

I didn’t even realize till later that I captured my trusty Hamilton khaki field titanium in the photo

This watch indeed was capable of a real life tactical situation. The titanium was so light I did not even feel it on wrist when I had to shoot a double leg takedown. The contrast of the white numerals on the black mat dial was so legible it was easy to tell how long I was on the attackers back before the police showed up, which was 20 whole minutes. Thanks Anchorage for the timely response.

I can’t think of a better watch to have had on wrist for the situation and now it’s something I will always remember when I have this watch on wrist.

Hopefully you don’t need to save someone’s life while wearing one of your watches but just incase the Hamilton khaki field has you covered
