My Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition
Got the Khaki Field Expedition a couple of days ago, and I'm loving it. I like the build quality, crown action and the overall accuracy (+3s). I ordered this in bracelet and I guess that's a mistake. I'm not liking this bracelet -- feels just ok. Feels like my Citizen NJ100 bracelet and this watch costs just about £130.
The khaki dial is super legible and they've done a fairly ok job on the AR coating. My observations are in comparison to the khaki field mechanical.
The screwdown crown action is pretty rugged and with the 80-hour power reserve, I don't think I'll be unscrewing this every other day to wind the watch.
I don't think anyone will be disappointed with this khaki version. This is a great addition to the mechanical one and I see myself switching between these two, in addition to my good old Louis Erard (love this watch, but for the SW200 movement) and Citizen NJ100 in the mix.
I'm selling the rest. Anyone in the UK looking for Oris BC3 and Tissot Bridgeport (with A2892-A2 movement), hit me up. Want to let go of them for a decent price.
Happy New Year!!
Not a watch nerd. But suffer from the disease of drooling at, and if possible, collecting watches.
Congratulations! This is one I’m seriously considering in 2024. Enjoy!
Love my Hamilton, you picked a winner
Mine is running about +-4. Loving it.
Love the dial. On the fence about the bezel. Hate the price.

Thank you sir!
37 or 41mm if you don’t mind me asking?
Love the dial and case of the expedition the compass bezel leaves me a bit cold though.
37 or 41mm if you don’t mind me asking?
41mm. 37 was too small, even more so on leather/nato straps.
Yeah, when you don't have the extra metal of the bracelet end links, you have to be sure that the watch doesn't just disappear on the wrist. Comparing to my current pieces, I think this would be similar dimensions to my Divers 65, which originally came on an Oris tropic strap. Thinking about pulling the trigger on this one.
