Designer
In-house design studio
The reference was drawn by the manufacture's internal design office, where case, dial and movement architects work alongside the watchmakers rather than as an outside commission.
Historical significance
Hamilton Khaki Navy 36 mm Mother-of-pearl Ceramic sits within Hamilton's Khaki Navy line, introduced in 2022. It carries the house codes established since 1892 — ceramic case, mother-of-pearl dial and automatic, 38-hour reserve — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.
- The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
- The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.

Brand history
Hamilton has spent more than 134 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Khaki Field, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Adam Bopst & Charles Rood established Hamilton in 1892, working from United States at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Hamilton calibre produced today.
