Latest Vintage Piece
2023 Hamilton Khaki Field “Murph” 38mm H70405730. $900.00 CAD. 501-00322.
Looking for a no nonsense basic timekeeping tool that gets the job done in classic style? The Hamilton Khaki Field models are your kind of watch. Large hands for instant time interpretation, big Arabic hour markers, and a minute track are characteristics you’ll find on almost every Khaki Field. Some are powered by very traditional hand wind movements and some are self winding like this one.
Based on the old school ETA calibre 2824-2 from the 1970s but thoroughly tweaked by Hamilton’s watchmakers for modern performance. Dubbed the Hamilton C07.611, this movement features 25 lab-grown ruby jewels, shock protection, and a really long 80 hour power reserve that is partly achieved by its slower 21,600 cycles per hour rate. This workhorse movement is visible through the screwed on display back.
The antique appearance of this Khaki Field is reenforced by some truly antique style luminous hands that look like they came off a 1st World War trench watch.
What makes this watch interesting is that it played a key roll in the 2014 Matthew McConaughey movie Interstellar, where it transcends the movie characters generations. There are few day to day consumer products that can do this as well as a wristwatch or piece of jewellery. A good Swiss watch can easily last 3-4 generations with only the occasional service requirement.
The actual movie watch was a giant at 42mm diameter, but the more user friendly 38mm version (H70405730) like ours was introduced in late 2022. It wears larger than you’d expect as there is no thick bezel taking up valuable dial space. The lug to lug length is very manageable for even a thin wrist. This watch was purchased at Yorkdale Shopping Centre Toronto in the spring of 2023.
The fully endorsed warranty will cover the next owner until April of 2028. It remains in perfect condition looking unworn.
Even the tan leather backing of the strap is perfect. Great looking, classic design, with a fun Hollywood connection. This watch comes with all its original documentation and is estate priced at $900.00 CAD. Stock #501-00322.
