Hamilton Khaki Field Solunar Concept
Just having a bit of fun with another concept because who doesn’t enjoy a little make-believe.
I’ve shared previously that I really love the vintage Heuer Abercrombie & Fitch Solunar watches. I think it’s the quirky complication and bright colors that always get me. Rather than going with a chronograph, I wanted to create the modern version of that first model, which meant something more in line with a field watch. With that in mind, I skipped right over TAG’s catalog and when straight to Hamilton - as what’s more synonymous with field watches than the Khaki Field line?
For this ultimate field watch, I selected Hammy’s most recent Expedition model as the base. I dig the compass bezel and think the case is a bit more forgiving with the needed additional pusher. Add a splash of color, a fun handset, and boom… I’ve set your imaginary wallet on fire.
Have a great weekend folks!

Thanks man! Shoot the builds you have in mind… I am usually down to photoshop around when I get bored. 👍
Interesting concept!
Thanks 🍻
Very cool! I love the logo.
Can't wait till you launch the Bevelwerks watch company! 😉

Bevelwerks Watch Co makes more imaginary money than Hans Wilsdorf could ever dream of 😋
You're doing a better job than Hamilton has in the last uh, few decades. They don't have to be trendy or kitschy, but they have this Germanic* tendency to the dour and seem to avoid any life or fun whatsoever.
I don't get the Wheel-of-Fortune subdial and I'm far from a fan of their H logo, but using the latter as a counterweight on the seconds hand is inspired.
*Yes, I know that formerly American Hamilton is Swiss now, but even the Swiss have loosened up more than the stiffs at Hamilton.

Haha - I can see what you mean about their designs coming off a bit glum. Seems even when they do use color it’s usually a very desaturated version - definitely on the safe side but can also feel a bit bland and tired. Maybe they should cheat off Studio Underd0g’s homework for a bit 😂
Nice work 👌
Another gem!
I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
Hoping Heuer releases the A&F Seafarer reissue this coming year...
