The Watch
Likely from the 1980s or 1990s, this Hamilton Khaki Ref. 9797 is a compact, military-inspired field watch. Made of bead-blasted stainless steel, its 33mm case contains a high quality Swiss quartz movement and one of the most iconic field watch dials. Wearing bigger than the dimensions suggest, and extremely comfortable due to its light weight, this Khaki is a delight on the wrist. Increasingly collectible, this would make an excellent purchase for collectors looking for an inexpensive, vintage aesthetic 'grab and go' watch.
Dimensions: 33mm wide, 9mm thick, 41mm lug-to-lug.
The Manufacturer
Founded in 1890s America (with production (and later ownership) moving to Switzerland in the 1960s), for many years Hamilton provided watches for the railroads and American military. The Khaki line grew out of a desire to sell its military models to civilians. For decades, Hamilton Khaki watches have been well made, military-style field watches that have given faithful service to countless owners.
