Thanks man, I was waiting for that kind comparison. I own khaki field bronze for two months and I want to buy more straps:) I can tell you that it looks great with two part leather vintage strap Rios 1931. It lays flat on wrist and looks 👌
Hey there, Glad it could be helpful to you! I know I wanted to see one but could find it anywhere either. Gonna check out the vintage strap you mentioned 😎 Take care
Hello, yes teal but not dark teal (which is the actual complementary color). That’s why I’ll go with dark blue but if you see one let me know! Ps: they are Sweden based 😉
Thanks for the nice video, I also bought this watch recently and I’m looking for a nice nato strap, and I like your first choice very much, so colourful and energetic~~~
I’m stuck between this watch, The Murph 38mm, or Khaki Field Titanium at this price point. If this was 10bar WR this watch would be a no brainer. I like the “Bond” NATO.
Total Nato strap monster :) I tend to convert all my Nato straps to single pass to make the watch were closer to the wrist. Have you had any problems with the watch making your wrist green?
Hey, I was considering a H69449961. Its got a brownish finish which is quite a bit cheaper than the bronze you reviewed. Do you find the bronze stand out more beautiful than the H69449961? I live in a smaller town so no way I can actually see these watches up close. Really like your reviews!
Bronze is awesome, I bought recently this bronze H69459530 + another general model H69439531. And I can tell you that due to material used - Bronze, it has louder, more beautiful sound when rotate the crown to get power reserve for the day. I notified about that my local watch shop. And they said it is obvious, that the sound is different, and the bronze pass the sound further. As in the past like cathedral bells for example was made from bronze exactly for this reason.
Awesome video. I decided to buy the watch because of it. Question for you, mine has the same model number as yours ending in 4590. Mine is also only a 6 digit code. I’m new to watches so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but why are yours and mine, a 6 digit model number vs. 7? And the website lists the watch ending in “30”. Was hoping you may know why? Thanks!
Excellent question Robert! Unfortunately I don’t know for sure 😫 sorry. Hope someone else might be able to help you here in the comments. Glad the video was helpful and enjoy your watch!!
hey, i bought this watch like 1 week ago and my friend said it will only patina from wearing it and like touching it. Is this true? Or does it patina from oxygen?
Hey there, yes it is going to patina naturally with contact to different elements. That said, it depends the mix they made in terms of how fast it will patina. I noticed this one patinas quite slowly (hence the forced patina that I did on it. You can check my other video about this watch where I say how to make it patina). Take care
Green + bronze is always a good pairing.
Absolutely! Wearing it right now 😁
Leather looks best. The green was nice.
I agree! Usually my favorite 2 choices
Thank you for this video. Been on the fence with which version to get. Pairing this with different straps shows that it is very versatile. 🙂👍🏼
You bet! Thanks for watching and glad it could be helpful to you
Take care!
Great videos mate! Love the beige strap in particular
Thank you! It is a great combo indeed with bronze 😉 take care
Super presentation!
Thank you!
Thank YOU for watching
You’re making me regret buying a regular steel Hamilton Khaki Mechanical and not the bronze version. Love the patina on your watch!
Hey there, both models are great 😉 but y’a, bronze has that something to it when it patina’s… take care!
Show more strap pairings please, possibly regular straps
👍🏼😎

Cheapnato straps has teal NATO's , I think they are based in Germany.
Great Vid and the patina on the Khaki looks 👌

Thanks Jessie! Great purchase and thanks a lot for the feedback! Take care
Bello il cinturino in pelle marrone 👍😀😀😀
Si sono d’accordo! Diciamo che è meno versatile dei altri, ma ha una bella presenza sul polso. A presto

Nop, no problems on the skin contact - the back is Ti so you’re gonna be all good 🙂
To be honest, the leather is still my favourite
Y’a i hear y’a, it’s the one I use the most too
Hi! How long to take that patina? About years or months?
Hey there, I let you check my other video about this Hamilton where I explain how I patina'ed this watch :) took me around 20 minutes :D cheers

Thanks! Honestly it really is a matter of taste. I think both are amazing, but personally I think the bronze looks better. Take care!

Original leather band looks the best! Other than that......the Bond.
Good choice!
Hey how is your watch doing? I just bought this and seeing a lot of complaints of the mainspring breaking prematurely.
Thanks. It’s doing great so far 😉

@@watch_luver it’s the case number not model number. I got a reply from Swatch Group. Thanks for the reply!
