Let's review some of the Hamilton timepieces from the Khaki Aviation and Field collections, currently available from Danwerke in Little Rock:
Khaki Field Mechanical
During World War II, Hamilton focused its engineering and production to serve the United States Armed Forces. The watchmaker produced over one million rugged and precise timepieces for Marines, sailors, and soldiers fighting in various theaters. The Hamilton Khaki Field collection reflects upon this military heritage with two models, the Mechanical 38mm and the 42mm. As mechanical watches, you wind them up to run for 80 hours. The 38mm features a Navy blue face and canvas-nylon strap; the 42mm features a black face with an olive drab strap and leather accents. The classic design is inspired by the watches in the trenches and aboard ships during WWII. The most notable film credit for these watches is "Pearl Harbor" (2001).
Khaki Field Auto 42mm
Custom versions of this classic Hamilton timepiece are featured in "Interstellar" (2014) and the Tom Clancy's "Jack Ryan" series streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The ruggedness and shock protection factors of this watch are underscored by its stainless steel casing and bracelet, which you can upgrade to titanium. This watch is perfect for fishing, hiking, hunting, and many other outdoor activities.
Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date
Famously worn by Jeff Goldblum in the 2016 "Independence Day: Resurgence" sequel, this refined watch needs no batteries or winding. Its automatic movement mechanism keeps the watch running while strapped to your wrist. Like all timepieces in the Hamilton Khaki collection, this one features a sapphire crystal to prevent scratching. A clear face with stainless steel casing and a tan leather strap evokes the style of the watches issued to U.S. Air Force pilots in the 1950s.
Khaki Field King Auto
This watch has two major American television credits: "House, M.D." and "The Unit." The 40 mm black face of the Khaki Field King makes it ideal for going from the office to the field; this explains why it is often gifted to corporate and military officers to celebrate their promotions. The unique calendar feature is just below the 12 o'clock position, where it displays the full day-of-the-week name. Like all Hamilton timepieces, this one features glowing hands that make it easy to read time in all lighting conditions.
Khaki Field Auto 38mm
Beyond Hollywood productions, Hamilton timepieces also get credits on AAA video games like "Far Cry 6" (2021) and the latest "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7," in which characters wear Khaki Field Auto watches with 38mm faces. The classic version of this watch features a silver face and casing for high readability; it displays the date at the 3 o'clock position, and it offers water resistance to 100 meters.
