Khaki Field Auto 42 mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 42 mm case suggests

Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 42 mm measures 42 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.00 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 86% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 85% of the 80 Hamilton watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 47 mm (1.85 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 56 mm (2.20 in) it starts to look compact. Below 42 mm (1.65 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 11 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 26% of the watches with a listed thickness.
