Hamilton's Khaki family is wide, and the names can blur together. The Khaki Field is the classic military-style watch, offered as a hand-wound Mechanical or an Automatic. The Murph is a Khaki Field variant, the Field King adds a slightly larger case, the Navy Scuba is the dive-style model and the Aviation line covers pilot watches. Most share the Swiss H-10 automatic with an 80-hour reserve, so case size, water rating and strap decide the pick. This guide compares eight Khaki models on what each listing states. None of these listings state lug to lug, so measure your wrist against the case size and check Hamilton's page for the full dimensions.
