What makes it stand out
Hamilton Watch Company basically invented the military watch genre with the "trench watches" it supplied to American troops in World War I, kicking off a long tradition of making tough, simple, reliable timepieces for U.S. military units. The civilian offshoot of these watches is the Khaki Field, which traces its most direct inspiration to the 1960s model worn during the Vietnam War, which is notable for its 12/24-hour dial and modest case dimensions, and is available with a quartz, manually wound mechanical, or automatic caliber.
