Product Description
This straightforward and refined field watch from Hamilton covers all the bases. First, the brain behind the watch is a Swiss-made automatic movement, which is visible from the caseback on certain models (a quartz model is also available) Read More
Hendrix-DKBased on the ETA 2824-2, but pretty much an updated design. I have a Tissot with same 80 hour power reserve movement. Surprisingly accurate. Tissot also offers a Chronometer version. Like Hamilton, just not this one.
OldFinnThanks for the info...
I had based my "ETA 2836-2" suggestion on information from Watch-Base..(https://watchbase.com/hamilton/caliber/h-30)
What about you ?
And yes watches from "The Swatch Group" often share movements.. :)
I am not really into "Field" watches, can't really get into the look ,the closest I have is the 2020 Alpinist with the integrated completely unneeded "compass" complication!! But it appears this runs the ETA2824 adjusted 80 hour power reserve. A quite plain tool watch which will never die!! The only sort of field watch I do like and is usually value for money being the Glycine combat classic 43 mm. But if you like Field watches one of the best bang for buck.
Not a watch expert, so don't flame. So this is not a Dual time zone capable watch? Just a 24hr dial so in the afternoon you know the military equivalent time if your not familiar with adding 12?

Mc_365That's correct.
Watches that track two different time zones are usually given a 'GMT' designation and generally have an extra hand.
To my mind (the only one I have, by the way), the black dial on the steel bracelet is the only way to go.
Prices for that model seem to be all over the map with MD's price squarely in the middle of the road. Joma'a price is the lowest because they don't actually have the watch (par for the course, and possibly MD's source).
Plenty of prices are much WORSE:
Actually, I quite like the silver dial. I do prefer to buy watches on steel bracelets wherever possible, though. A good quality aftermarket leather strap is easier to find than a bracelet.
