**Background:** Man this Hamilton really came out of left field and disrupted the bronze watch niche. For reference, I had (and loved) an IWC Spitfire Bronze Edition (I've included a link below just for comparison purposes) which essentially was my daily wear. Bronze is so robust and beautiful and the patina actually gives it unique character that makes the watch feel deeply personal. That being said, when Hamilton came out with this bronze iteration of their 38mm Khaki line, I knew I had to have it and boy did it exceed expectations. Unfortunately, it's not getting anywhere near the wrist time it deserves so I'm letting this one go to a new owner who can take this watch out and allow it to develop the patina it deserves. **Link to Watch (for specifications only):** [https://www.hamiltonwatch.com/en-us/h69459530-khaki-field-mechanical-bronze.html](https://www.hamiltonwatch.com/en-us/h69459530-khaki-field-mechanical-bronze.html) **Link to IWC for reference only:** [https://www.tourneau.com/watches/iwc-schaffhausen/pilots-watch-automatic-spitfire-iw326802-IWC0142481.html?gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwpayjBhAnEiwA-7ena6W2s8oz0d5\_G0eHMaB7aOrbU0TP5lY-xnTfF3YIGBVdYIXAA2IJ-BoCQFwQAvD\_BwE](https://www.tourneau.com/watches/iwc-schaffhausen/pilots-watch-automatic-spitfire-iw326802-IWC0142481.html?gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwpayjBhAnEiwA-7ena6W2s8oz0d5_G0eHMaB7aOrbU0TP5lY-xnTfF3YIGBVdYIXAA2IJ-BoCQFwQAvD_BwE) Seeing those two pieces side by side, I can confidently say that the $875 price tag of the Hamilton is 1000% justified. It's about 15% the price of the IWC but gives you a sapphire crystal with inner AR coating, a proven 80 hour movement, a solid bronze case, and the iconic field watch dial layout all on the a gorgeous black backdrop. What's more, I upgraded my Hamilton by purchasing a Zelos FKM rubber strap with matching solid bronze clasp. This is the only drawback of the Hamilton Bronze Khaki as it does not come with matching bronze hardware on the OEM leather (included). This switch up elevates the watch and makes it a no-brain purchase under $1,000. **Condition:** VG+ minimal patina has developed on this beauty because unfortunately, it has spent most of its time in my watch box. Despite having both this and the bronze IWC, I still ended up wearing the IWC (mostly because I got that one used and it already had patina so I didn't baby it as much). This one is in exceptional shape and will develop much character with a new owner. **What's Included:** This is a full full kit. Down to the paper thinwarning papers. Inner/outer box, hangtag, all papers, instrucional booklet, international warranty booklet, warranty card dated 06/2022 (still under warranty), OEM leather strap (still plenty of life left, just an indent from where the watch sits), watch head, and Zelos FKM Strap + Bronze Hardware. **Link to Strap:** [https://zeloswatches.com/products/black-fkm-rubber-strap-with-bronze-buckle?pr\_prod\_strat=use\_description&pr\_rec\_id=1fe55dcd3&pr\_rec\_pid=6921476046937&pr\_ref\_pid=6921486958681&pr\_seq=uniform](https://zeloswatches.com/products/black-fkm-rubber-strap-with-bronze-buckle?pr_prod_strat=use_description&pr_rec_id=1fe55dcd3&pr_rec_pid=6921476046937&pr_ref_pid=6921486958681&pr_seq=uniform) **Price:** Asking **$750 shipped** to your door for this complete kit with bonuses. In my opinion, this is a ton of value for the price point and truthfully, hard to beat in this category of watches (solid bronze from a Swiss brand's most popular line). I still have a few other pieces available that are very affordable (sub-$500) listed so please let me know if you're interested in multiple and we can work something out. Thank you all and have a great week!
