Which Hamilton Khaki Field to buy: quartz, mechanical, automatic or Murph (2026)

The best Hamilton Khaki Field for most people is the 38mm Khaki Field Auto: Hamilton's H-10 automatic movement with an 80-hour power reserve, 100 metres of water resistance and a sapphire crystal, for about £640. For a thinner, hand-wound watch, the Khaki Field Mechanical; for the best value, the Khaki Field Quartz from £375.

How we chose

We went through every Khaki Field Goldsmiths sells and compared the movements, sizes and water resistance from Goldsmiths' own product pages. Where a detail isn't listed for a watch, we've left it out rather than assume it's the same as a similar model. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes the price you pay.

Quartz, mechanical or automatic?

This is the main choice, and it changes the price, the thickness and how you live with the watch.

• Quartz runs on a battery: the least expensive, the thinnest, and it never needs winding.
• Mechanical is wound by hand every few days: a traditional watch you interact with.
• Automatic winds itself as you wear it: the easiest to live with, and in this guide the most water resistant.

The best Khaki Field overall: Khaki Field Auto 38mm

The one to buy if you're not sure.

It's a 38mm steel case 11mm thick and 47mm from lug to lug, with a black dial, a sapphire crystal and water resistance to 100 metres, on a leather strap.

The best mechanical: Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm

The best value: Khaki Field Quartz 38mm

The least expensive way into Hamilton.

It's water resistant to 50 metres.
