Of all of the watches that I own, this one is one of my favorites. The Hamilton classic field watch has been a staple of Americana since the turn of the century. One of the only truly "Made In America" brands for many years, Hamilton gained a reputation for manufacturing an affordable, dependable and accurate product for decades. Millions of Hamilton "Field" watches, now called the "Khaki", were made, under contract, for the military and were military issue for decades.
Some time ago, the Hamilton company was acquired by Swatch, in Switzerland. Hamilton watches are now entirely Swiss made, with all Swiss parts and movements, and are still considered one of the most dependable, highest quality, moderately priced time-pieces on the market.
The Khaki King II is one of several different versions of the legendary Khaki field design, and one of the most recent.
It is constructed with a heavy duty stainless steel case, screw down exibition back, monagramed crown, high quality domed sapphire crystal on the front, and sealed, flush sapphire crystal over the back exibition display. The case measures 42 MM, an improvement over it's smaller predecessors, with protective extentions at the crown. Inside is a state of the art 25 Jewel Swiss Eta Mechanical Automatic movement. The dial is at the same time simple, and elegant in design with contrasting architecture, applied Arabic numerals, and 24 hour inner markers. The combination minute/second markers are divided into fractional distinctions between each marker for a precision look, and the minute and second hands have pointers that extend to the full perimeter of the dial for precise readings. The bold day and date wheels at the top of the dial were what attracted me to this model. All in all, this watch is as good as it gets for a precision made functional time peice, built to exacting standards with Swiss excellence.
The top stitched leather strap is made of heavy harness leather, and lined on the inside with calf-skin for comfort. It comes together with a heavy duty stainless steel buckle bearing the Hamilton name.
This watch is a high-tech re-make of a world renowned classic, an HOMAGE to one of the best field watches ever made, and worn by American soldiers for decades. It is solid, dependable, built to last a lifetime, and made with one of the most modern and dependable mechanical-automatic movements in the world.
I love leather straps, and I love this watch. It is truly one of my favorites. Obtainable for under $300.00 it is an excellent value. This watch will satisfy all of your needs as a true field watch, or as an everyday time-piece.

After looking at a gazillion watches, and getting his opinions of at least half of those, I finally decided that my husband needed this watch. It is so very much more attractive in real life than the picture would indicate, and the design is great for an everyday watch. He by no means has delicate wrists, but I like the fact that at 38mm, this watch is not one of the oversized monsters you see nowadays. It looks balanced on him, not small, not large. The face is clean and uncluttered, symmetrically balanced, and quite readable, and the lume on the hands and numbers is quite powerful in the dark. The stem is also protected on the sides, which is good, because he can be kind of rough on watches. I thought the band might be too casual but after seeing it on, it seems just about right, and he is quite pleased with the quality of the leather. I personally think you could wear it with pretty much anything except perhaps the most formal of clothes. And of course being an automatic with an exhibition case, you get to have the fun of seeing the movement. I feel that Hamilton watches are a great value - good movements, classic styling, and well-priced. I'd recommend this watch.

I own a couple of the Hamilton Khaki King II watches. The one I am wearing right now has a beige face and it is a beauty.

This watch combines everthing I wanted- it has a dial large enough for me to see clearly without being too large for my somewhat narrow wrist, it has a day/date calendar, automatic movement, genuine leather strap, and last but not least, it keeps excellent time.

Hamilton is an old and trusted name in watches and while you can spend a great deal more for a watch, you would be hard pressed to find one that performs any better than the Khaki King.

I recommend this watch, and all Hamilton products, very highly.

Great looking, solid watch. Shame Amazon's photo is so terrible. There is a better one here: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3264/2696819303_f9136116a7_b.jpg

After months of research and pondering what watch to buy I finally bought the Hamilton khaki king automatic. What a good choice, the brown leather band is high quality leather, the movement is fluid. This is the kind of watch a father passes to his son.

This particular day date mechanism is a nice touch, not a distraction. The lume is good, not great, for the small area painted. The leather band is sturdy and the clasp is very well made. The dial is clean and very attractive. Given that this is an ETA 2834 movement I cant think of a reason NOT to buy this watch. If you are looking for a Hamilton auto and don't want a chrono, buy this watch and in 10 years when they are rare treat your still ticking Hamilton field auto a new leather strap.

Perfect size and weight.
Looks casual and professional, its well-made and I have had no problems.

Its just right!

Hamilton makes classic watches that look great, are functional, and represent tremendous value for a watch with an automatic movement. This model works well for work or play and with the day and date provides everything you might need. A great addition to any collection! Enjoy and buy with confidence.

craftamnship is very nice, got it at a good price, considering the high quality of the hamilton movement.

Considering the variety of quality watches available on the market in this price range, I was surprised that my Khaki King Automatic refuses to function as an automatic just days after being purchased. Whether wound manually or left to work as an automatic, mine hangs up with the second hand sticking on the minute hand when the minute hand is pointing in the vicinity of the "6" (I know -- sounds weird). This occurs even though I wear the watch all the time. I've yet to resolve the problem either through the store or through customer service, but so far so bad -- not what it was advertised to be, and not a very good exercise in quality control by Hamilton.
