Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic
The helo shop Chief at Coast Guard Air Station Miami, out on the ramp before Friday morning flights. "Been doing this job for 20+ years and this view never gets old." On his wrist, a Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic. If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio. Tempus Est Potentia.

Hamilton Khaki Field
When the United States entered the Second World War, Hamilton stopped making watches for civilians entirely and turned its production over to the war effort, delivering more than a million watches to American forces between 1942 and 1945. The Khaki Field is the direct descendant of that catalog, the plain, legible, no nonsense field watch refined across generations of military issue pieces.
The modern Khaki Field Automatic keeps the formula and upgrades the machinery: Hamilton's H-10 automatic movement with an 80 hour power reserve, a sapphire crystal, and a dial that still reads like a briefing document, offered in 38 and 42 millimeter cases. Set it down Friday night and it is still telling the truth Monday morning.
On the ramp at Coast Guard Air Station Miami, twenty years into the job, that heritage sits quietly on the wrist of a man who knows exactly what well maintained machinery is worth.
