No wonder people love Hamilton! This thing is simply gorgeous because it is gorgeously simple, and has a fantastic contemporary cinema story to go along with it. Could do with some more AR, better lume, and a few hundred dollars off though. Cheers! Jody

For less than 100 bucks you can get the Steel Diver pilots watch that's 80% of the way towards this one.
38mm is a much more realistic size but this doesn't look anywhere near as good as the Khaki Field in black.
A smart marketing ploy to please 38mm fans and significantly increase the retail price compared to similar Hamilton Fields. Surely it's a 'Murph' lookalike as it's the wrong size and the Morse code is absent on the seconds hand, which misses the point of the movie character's association? Still, it's a nice watch but at a hefty premium IMO.
Why they don't just scale the thing, 36mm for example. i don't like this shorter lug to lug version
If it was handwound, Hamilton has created the perfect watch!
When will you finally do a behind the scenes tour of your shed aka the watch channel studio 4.0? 😊
I got the 42 primarily because the 38 doesn't have the Morse code on the seconds hand. It would have bugged me not having it
i bought this uk with 10/15% off from ernest jones, think i ended up paying £700, but 100% worth it, the power reserve is excellent, the finish is great and it keeps time so well. dont hesitate
Look great!
Well, bad AR, bad lume, outrageous bad that morse code is lost in the process. I guess it goes with our time, milking iconic thing and franchise until it make no sense.
i have the Coop and i love it. worn more than any other of my watches. i will be having this murph.
Have you reviewed the longines spirit? It’s absolutely beautiful and comes in 40 mm 37mm and 42mm it’s also a chronometer. The lume is really top notch and generally is a lovely watch
Call me crazy but this is more classy looking versus the No Time to Die watch at 1/3rd of the price.
4 herz are always better. I got the khaki field in 42mm. Its beautifull but the lume is very very bad… ok its a fieldwatch… the crystal has no AR coating!!! Its not easy to see the watch clearly in mad light conditions. I think the hamilton watches looking great but they are to expensive for that what you get for the money. I wount buy an hamilton again. 3herz sucks. The second hand ticks like an seiko 5 watch. And the merv is the same watch like the khaki but kosts much more. Its beautifull but to expensive vor the package….
I went for the 42, and the lugs were weirdly fitting on my very flat shelf’s 7 inch wrist …which usually eats up 42 mm watches, even dressers up to 42 inches…but this 42 rode very high, almost tenting, I sold it and am contemplating going back to the smaller of the 2 …that’s how much I miss this beautiful piece…it is one of a kind, ..if you’ve worn the bullhead Bulova parking meter…it’s the same issue. Anyhow…freaking awesome piece nonetheless the less .
Nah, these Powermatics are basically disposable movements. Cheaper to replace than to service.
The 42 mm case would have been fine with more appropriate lugs.
Looking at the lug-to-lug in proportion to the diameter:
44 / 38 = 1.158
52 / 42 = 1.238
If the larger case had lugs in the same proportion as those on the smaller case, it would have been about 48.6 km lug-to-lug.
48.6 / 42 ≈ 44 / 38
This would have made the larger case much more reasonable for many more people.
However, the price is a different problem…..
Just wish it had drilled lug holes.
Great and incisive review Jody, of……………….. THE most yawn inducing watch this side of any Rolex……………………….
This watch has been out a couple of years
Love the watch. Used to like Matthew M but he drives me crazy now…such a cheese…can no longer get the watch due to him 🙁
Do we now just price these as 3x Erebus' – not much value then.
Useless if ar isn't fixed
Great that they listen to customers, but Hamilton`s pricing has gotten a bit silly. They also want ~1000€ for a Ventura with mineral crystal and a basic quartz movement.
Hamilton logo is too big. The bulge on the hand is too big. It’s kind of boring overall ✌🏼🇺🇸
Metal bracelets for this watch are available with Strapcode too, I think – which ups the versatility. Hamilton make great watches.
It is a gorgeous watch. But some way out of my price range. It would be great to see you cover some affordable alternatives as I love the watch.
I think there are at least 3 homages of this on Ali now, think I'll opt for one of those and save some money
That's a big price for an ETA tuned down. 28 thou all the way.
42mm camp here. I have an 8 inch wrist with no knuckle so I wear my watches below my “no knuckle”. This causes 3 o’clock crowns to dig into the back of my hand. I will no longer buy 3 o’clock crowns, 4 o’clock please.
Wearing your Murph, driving around in your Lincoln MKZ. Doing that index finger thumb circle. "Alright"
Beautiful watch but the Field Automatic is just as good for less money.
"Love that watch! Yeah, sure Id like to buy. . . It's how much? Huh. . . Do you have any Tissots?"
42 is fine for a diver. This is much better for a dress style at 38.
I liked this when it originally came out, but I ended up with the Cooper day date pilot watch. which I do enjoy, but ive said before. Hamilton are….fine….they dont set me on fire much. Although i do enjoy the Khaki field mechanical.
Thanks for the video Jodie. It's nice that they are responding to fan requests – although I must admit, I don't understand the fuss. I'd rather have an Oris Big Crown.
I'm amused how Swatch claim that their sub-brands are 'independent' and, at the same time, that movements from the wider conglomerate count as 'in-house'.
Beautiful simple watch. I'd choose the larger size, but too much AUD for me. So not yet……….
I'll wait for the Baltany version.
Lovely 👌👌👌
Inflation!
