Hamilton King Khaki


Age: Circa 2005

Dimensions: 37mm wide (w/o crown), 19mm lugs

Features: Day. Date, Fully lumed hands (including second hand) and Arabic numbered hour markers, Military time markers, Sapphire glass crystal, Swiss quartz movement, Crown guard, Water-resistant to 50m

Notes: I bought this watch because it's younger, more basic cousin was featured in one of my favorite movies, After Hours (1985). This King Khaki has a full day window at 12:00 that makes it a bit dressier; it came on a black leather strap, but I keep it on this gnarled NATO strap because it is too darn hot here to wear any watch on leather. It's really cool to look down at the watch and see all the numbers glowing.
