Hamilton Automatic Khaki King H64455523 Men’s Watch

From being an all-American watch brand, Hamilton is presently a full-fledged subsidiary of the Swiss brand Swatch. For the watch fans this is another option to pick up a “Swiss made” affordable timepiece.

The Hamilton Automatic Khaki King H64455523 Men’s Watch has a distinct military bearing. More so because the hour markers prominently feature military time along with the usual time display in Arabic numerals. The Hamilton Khaki Field King Auto as it is referred to, is an extremely handsome watch packed with some useful features.

The stainless-steel case in a brushed finish encloses a black dial with hour markers in bright white. The round dial is very legible due to the bold font used for the hour markers. A series of concentric grooves under the hour markers gives another dimension to the dial.

The hour and minute hands are a simple sword design with a slender second’s hand that conveys elegance. The hour and minute hand and the tip of the seconds hand is luminescent. The bold theme of black dial contrasting white markers, the polished steel case and brown saddle leather strap with contrasting stitches gives the Hamilton Automatic Khaki King Men’s Watch a luxurious appearance.

To me, the prominent feature of this very bold and stylish watch is the day and date feature. Its positioning and size serve to break the otherwise symmetrical lines of this watch. At 40mm case diameter, some would call it a large watch but the tapered design and protective lugs aligning the crown give it a smooth, flowing look. The Hamilton Automatic Khaki King Men’s Watch carries the H-40 automatic movement which is clearly visible through the display window on the case back.

The Khaki King dial is covered by tough sapphire crystal, which as we know, is highly scratch resistant and great for daily use.  Hamilton has added a water resistance capacity of 50m which means the watch can withstand the occasional shower or water splashes associated with daily use. However, it is certainly not suited to any rigorous water activities like swimming. Besides, the leather strap on the watch is not exactly suited to any water activity.

The Hamilton Khaki King is a versatile timepiece that can easily be alternated between a suit and casual attire. It is sleek and stylish with a gorgeous design that many will find appealing. It’s clear and legible dial shows the time at a glance and is a perfect accessory for those on the move. The high-quality materials used in its creation ensure that it is a good timepiece for daily use. And, at £349 at citywatches.co.uk, I’d say it is a worthwhile buy.
