Hamilton introduces the Khaki Field Quartz in a new affordable collection

Inspired by the Hamilton G.S. (“General Service”), a watch produced in the 1960s for non-military personnel in the British government, this approachable, always-ready adventure new model appeals to even more explorers in two sizes with four colour variations.

amilton is synonymous with field watches thanks to its reputation for precision, innovation and utility-focused design. Simple and rugged yet distinct in its aesthetics, the Khaki Field Quartz represents excellence in simplicity. The new collection features two size options — 33mm and 38mm references — for versatility and to appeal to an ever-growing fanbase.

The Khaki Field Quartz was inspired by the Hamilton G.S. (“General Service”) a watch produced in the 1960s for non-military personnel in the British government. Original design elements, present in the latest Khaki Field Quartz collection, include a dial optimised for legibility and contrast as well as a railway minute track. Super-LumiNova coating on the hands, indexes and numerals is available in both brilliant white and a green reminiscent of radium used up until the 1970s.

Paying homage to military styling, the colour palette of the new Khaki Field Quartz collection is drawn from service uniforms.

White and black dials are paired with an olive-green NATO with brown leather loops. An all-blue option features a blue dial with a matching blue NATO strap. Meanwhile the fully blacked out version with black dial and black NATO strap maintains a subtle appeal and comes to life with the glow of the radium-like Super-LumiNova coating.
