Hamilton Khaki Field Automatik *The Avengers – 2012* (42 mm), schwarzes Zifferblatt / braunes Lederarmband

First class watches delivered a first class watch again!
Hamilton Khaki field watch is a different watch to what I would normally purchase, I’ve always been a collector of dive watches.
But a change is as good as the rest so they say, and this watch is absolutely beautiful.
Highly legible, beautifully finished, and the timekeeping is something else.
First class watches never fail to impress which is why I wouldn’t look to anyone else to fulfil my watch collecting hobby.
Their service is second to none!!

Absolutely stunning watch, super fast delivery and even on a Sunday. One of the most reasonably priced online too. Can’t fault any of it.

This is an awesome watch if your like me and want a Swiss made watch without having to remortgage your home or try to blag to the muissis you "won it in a competition"

For the price your getting a great looking swiss made field watch with a solid leather band as well as the same ETA made movement that's in Rados and other more expensive brands over 2 to 3 times the price. Can't argue at that.

42mm is spot on for me with 7.2 inch wrists. 38 would look a bit off. But I am used to gshocks and they are basically dinner plates.

Wrist size being said. If yours are thicker than 7inch you may want to consider a different strap or version of this watch with a longer strap. As on my wrists I am on the 3rd hole. Meaning the secondary strap loop has nothing to hold down. This is a bit annoying as Hamilton do sell an XL strap but at 90 quid RRP that's not exactly pocket cash. You can get a 3rd party one for sure but then you miss out having the brand name on the buckle (something I quite like) all it needs is an extra 1 inch of leather and 2 more holes. Very frustrating but I can live with it.

The leather strap is also very very stiff. I'm sure that will soften and break in over time but it will mean the first month to 3 are probably going to be a bit uncomfortable,

Time adjust and date adjustments work as it should. The second hand does stop when you pull the crown out to the final position which makes setting the exact time easy.

10bar proofing is good but the crown is not a screw down.

This watch looks great. Has a good name on it with lots of history behind it. It has the Swiss made factor and the movement inside it is incredible for the price tag.

Let downs are the strap length for chunky wrists. The strap stiffness that is temporary. And the 100m waterproofing rating but no screw down crown. I'm sure that's tested but personally I wouldn't swim in this for that reason. If I go to 100m then iv drowned. But regular swimming would make me question if just an o ring is going to hold out all the moisture. Also leather straps and chlorine/salt water don't mix well anyway.

I had high expectations about this watch from Hamilton. I watched and read many reviews before I decided to purchase it and it is as good as the reviews stated so I am very happy with the purchase. The discount from First Class watches was the icing on the cake. The strap is very good quality but quite thick and will take some breaking in but it can’t be faulted for that. Of the different variants available, the strap colour probably isn’t my perfect choice but the lug size is very popular so I will probably purchase an alternative strap eventually. I find the 42mm case size perfect for my wrist and prefer them to the 38mm variants because they sit a little taller.
This is my second Hamilton and the third watch I have purchased from First Class watches and so far, the products have been in very good condition, as you would hope. I recently purchased a good quality watch from another online retailer but I returned the watch because the condition it came in wasn’t as good at it should have been.
Hamilton is a brand I would highly recommend and will be purchasing more of.

My first Hamilton (H70555533) and I’m absolutely delighted with it. I was a little unsure as to how the L-2-L size would fit on my 7.25”/18cm wrist. But I needn’t have worried. For me, the fit is perfect. (I never have been a fan of leather straps, hence its now an elasticated NDCstrap.)

Thank you First Class Watches, both for the amazing deal and sales service.
