With nearly all models coming in at the more than desirable sub-$1000 price point while still packing a punch in terms of utility and style, there’s so much to love about Hamilton’s signature Khaki Field series. As a rule of thumb for anyone looking for a great first option to launch a collection with, Hamilton is generally a great place to begin, given its rich history within the context of American watchmaking. Launched last year, the Khaki Field Expedition is particularly suited to graduates with a penchant for exploring – literally and metaphorically.
The most unique aspect of the watch, and what gives its adventure-centric edge, is the compass bezel encircling the dial. This bi-directionally rotating bezel is marked with the cardinal directions and can be used in conjunction with the sun’s position for your navigational needs. Its 37mm sizing, vintage field watch-inspired design language, and mechanical H10 automatic movement are all working in the Khaki Field Expedition’s favor, too.
