Often with watches I find they look better in pictures than in person but this Hamilton Khaki is the other way around - it needs to be seen and worn to be appreciated. The matte case texture has great light play it really glows, the ribbed strap, slightly raised Arabic numerals & faux patina lume just work so well - it's a timeless and effortless design with real heritage.
It's very easy to wear. Wonderfully comfortable, lightweight & thin, the nato strap is by far the best I have worn with quality leather fixings. It doesn't wear tall like some other watches on nato eg (Seiko 5). The winding action is also highly satisfying.
38mm proportions are perfect as it wears a big bigger due to long lugs. I often wear 42mm but don't find it too small.
Mine is running between -3 to -0 seconds per day which is wild for a non-COSC.
It's not a perfect watch but it's very close especially at this price point. The lume takes a lot of time to charge and isn't very bright, nowhere near Seiko standards. The high contrast dial does however help in low light if the lume hasn't kicked in. AR coating on the domed glass would be great but doesn't bother me as legibility is always great.
