No wonder people love Hamilton! This thing is simply gorgeous because it is gorgeously simple, and has a fantastic contemporary cinema story to go along with it. Could do with some more AR, better lume, and a few hundred dollars off though. Cheers! Jody
The Murph is that perfect blend of understated elegance and "I'm such a fan boy nerd that I wear movie props, but you wouldn't know it unless you, too, are such a nerd"
Than go for the 42 mm. This one misses the Morse Code on the seconds hand 😢
@@haping1 Honestly, even if I could read Morse Code, my eyesight wouldn't be keen enough to notice its absence.
Girl… same.
I actually ignored stuff talking about the Murph because it was a movie watch, and I didn't care. Then I saw a picture of the Murph, fell in love with it, and THEN found out it was the watch I had been ignoring! Definitely want one of the 38mm versions in my collection.
Too expensive, but the brand has a lot of fans who are willing to pay the premium
Fun fact: Christopher Nolan, director of Interstellar, actually wears this watch himself. In recent press tours for Oppenheimer, you can repeatedly spot it on his wrist in all kinds of different interviews. Pretty neat that the man walks around wearing Easter eggs for his own films, lol.
I noticed that too!
Might have something to do with fact that he's a paid brand ambassador.
@@stevemoon2136 mmmm, maybe. But he clearly doesn't always wear Hamilton (see BAFTAs), and typically actors get those ambassador deals, not directors. In any event, it's a watch he had made for his own movie, not an off-the-shelf stock piece. Sponsored or no, still a cool Easter egg.
What we need now is a comparison between the 38mm murph and the seiko alpinist. That would be a killer video
I'd personally take the Alpinist all day every day over either Murph or any Khaki. Especially with the green face.
@tivobelievo7390 same here, in fact thats exactly what i did 😂
@@tivobelievo7390 Hamilton Murph movement is simply much superior & much more accurate than Alpinist movement... In fact, quality, durability & accuracy of Hamilton H-10/50 movements are not much different than any Rolex or Tudor or Grand Seiko movements. Most H-10 movements are within +-1s/day tolerance limits... Surprising but true...
I would say that no they are not .
I have 2 ETA 2824 Glycine watches and both have been repaired in the 3 years I have owned them , the winding is rubbish and the crown fell out of both .
I have the Baby Alpinist in green with the Seiko 6R35, and my Sumo with the same , and my 63MAS with 6R15 and these have not missed a beat in the 4 odd years of ownership .
No , the ETA2824 has major issues with the winding mechanisim ,
ps. I also have 2x Selleta200 watches and zero issues as well . @@Sumerdini
Or Murph and Khaki Field. Same case?
Have I had a stroke? I could have sworn we already had a Murph 38.
I had the same thought!
I think Jody has confused a lot of folks saying it's new. It's newer but definitely more than 1 year old.
@@dsant2811many youtubers have published videos about this watch in the last week. Weird because as you said it is not new. A campaign by Hamilton to reduce stock before releasing a new one?
I clicked on this video thinking that something else changed. Thanks guys.
@@Momo_8ksame, I thought they decided to add Eureka on the seconds hand like the 42. 🤷🏻♂️🙃
Last time i was this early the casing stones were still on the pyramid 😂
Ha! I'll give you 6.55841 points just for that comment mate!
I have a 6.5 inch wrist and I’ve never been scared of 42
I’m even wearing one right now!!
But the 52mm lug to lug is just insane
They're what you call "sweeping lugs" 😂
The Hamilton H10 movement IS a Powermatic 80 movement (c07.611). It does indeed not have a synthetic pallet fork, but many Powermatic 80 movements don't have it either. The only ones with a synthetic escapement start with C07.1xxx.
I think only Tissot refers to movements as Powermatic 80 though when they have the plastic escapement with 23 jewels
@@Andrew.W75 Certina does this too.
@@automaticninjaassaultcat3703 It is serviceable. Some youtubers are spreading the rumour that it would not be serviceable but that is the greatest BS.
love the look, hate the price. (maybe used in a year or two)
I have the original Cooper and with a 7.5" wrist I love the way a 42mm sizes to me.
Got this and wear it almost every day... I plan to give it to my daughter before she goes to University... fortunately that's still a few years to go yet
I’d go the 42mm. I have 7.5inch wrist, but more so, eye sight without glasses makes smaller watches difficult to see.
👍
No morse code second hand??? Outrageous!
Cheapout….. :(
It is so weird my murph that i got in ecember has coded hand !
@@subhranildey3202Which size?
@@subhranildey3202then you got the 40mm size 🤣
@@soyman539242
Just received my Origin yesterday and am absolutely in love, the updated curved bracelet has phenomenal articulation too! Beautiful job fellas!
I like the original 42mm as it is closer to the on-screen edition. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the 38mm if that is your choice.
Great watch, definitely a perfect size and functionality 👍🏽Thanks Jody 🙏🏽
Great vid Jody. Thanks
That is a dandy wee fellow. I'm afraid though that I'll have to wait for an Ali Express version to fit my even more wee budget. Thanks for another great review Jodi!
There is. Look at escapement time and steeldive
for me personally 38mm is too small 40mm would be perfect😁
Great content again Jody!!🎉
Thanks mate!!
Worth every penny, honestly. The design, fit and finishing are exceptional!
I'll wait for the Baltany version.
Very nice! My collection has become very diver-heavy and I was looking at adding a nice field watch to it (which I also intend to wear as a daily banger!), but not sure if I'd want to go above $500... I'll definitely put this one on the shortlist.
The Murph is my fave watch. It could seriously be a one watch collection with an Uncle Seiko bracelet, tropic rubber strap, and the factory strap.
Mind linking the bracelet you got? I am curious.
not related to this review but my Origin arrived today and i laughed when I saw how many stickers and wrappers it was wrapped in because it immediately reminded me of your unboxings 😂
Hasn't this been out for a while?
I would prefer the 38mm.
Hey Jody,
I’m wearing my recently received Erebus Origin, black color way. You all did a great job with your first watch! No watch is perfect. However, this one is super close. Good job👍🏻😊
Much preferred the original size. Hope they continue to supply it...
My preference is 42mm. I also don't care for the Powermatic 80. I like a very smooth sweep.
I bought the 38mm Murph at Duty Free in Milan airport in May ‘23 for my son’s 21st birthday as he’s a huge Interstellar fan. He was over the moon with his first mechanical watch and wears it everyday. It cost £680 ($840 USD) which was a good price for what was then a new release. Plus I got a free Hamilton backpack!
I love this watch. Definitely on my list to pick up one day…
I have the Hamilton Khaki Pilot from the same movie and I love it... first proper watch in my collection.
I absolutely love this watch and definitely planning on picking one up at some point now that it’s that little bit smaller. I completely agree with what’s said here, making it a manual wind would have been a great idea, I just think it would have suited the watch style.
Thanks for the video. How would you compare the Longines Spirit to the Murph?
I bought the 38mm and managed to find an aftermarket bracelet made specifically for this model…. Looks amazing now 👌
i have the Coop and i love it. worn more than any other of my watches. i will be having this murph.
Jody, thanks for a great review and compo' of the Hamilton Murph's, very tempted to snag one, when I can at a 'reasonable price'. BUT, I have on several different occasions nearly bought a Hamilton, but for some reason I've never actually 'pulled the trigger' on one!
They, Hamilton seem to kind of sit in that middle ground where you spend a bit more and get something noticeably better or spend a bit less and get something very nearly almost as good or even equal, but without 'that' name?
I freely admit to having both mechanical and quartz movements and I don't really discriminate between them, if I like it then that's it for me.
I hope/think you can probably can get that view point?!
Same here😅
Great watch, great video...
My escapement time costed me 60€ and it’s lovely
I got a 38mm in december. Absolutely adore it and the weird thing is that my one has the coded hand!
What does Hamilton have against screw down crowns!??
That's what I would've fixed too!
This watch seems especially good with an Uncle bracelet being an option. I'm tempted!
i have the 42, it is great for me as i am a big guy. very nice watch
"New"?? maybe you just discovered this Jodie, but it was launched in December, 2022. Hardly what anyone would call a "new" release.
Only just watched the movie last night. I hope the watch is a bit more rugged than the one that Murph threw across the bedroom and promptly broke! 🙂
A bit of tan going on there Jody. Cold and slightly damp here in the Scottish Borders. A 40 mm would be ideal. The price is fine for a decent watch.
The crown looks huge. ...and sharp.
Bought the Coop on a leather strap......now I should save to get the Murph for my daughter!
I'm glad I chose the spb155 Baby Alpinist!
Right size. Great watch ❤
Jody! Love the Murph and appreciate the review. My only note is actually about your new set. I'm noticing a bit of echo and/or hollowness in the recording, like you might experience while filming in the bathroom (not that I'm accusing you of anything nefarious). You may want to look into some audio tiles, perhaps color matched to go with your new blue filming room. All the best!
I didn't realize Australia had it's own currency 😮
Yep we’ve even got our own govt too
What did you think they used?
I have murph 38, and it's my favorite watch in my collection. It's perfect for my 6.75 in h wrist.
I enjoy my Hamilton Cooper watch
Hamilton never should have discontinued that one. It's sweet.
Metal bracelets for this watch are available with Strapcode too, I think - which ups the versatility. Hamilton make great watches.
Lighting in the new room, giving Mr Jody shiny face? $1,500? yeah nah
Okay, you did it (with help from Hamilton), finally a Hamilton field watch I can get behind. Until you gave the RRP...egads! Better lume and AR coating would tempt me to get a grey market or used one if I were looking for a field watch. She is a beauty.
When will you finally do a behind the scenes tour of your shed aka the watch channel studio 4.0? 😊
A smart marketing ploy to please 38mm fans and significantly increase the retail price compared to similar Hamilton Fields. Surely it's a 'Murph' lookalike as it's the wrong size and the Morse code is absent on the seconds hand, which misses the point of the movie character's association? Still, it's a nice watch but at a hefty premium IMO.
I have an 8 1/4 inch wrist and anything below 39 just looks crazy small on me. I’d stick with the 42.
It's listed in Amazon US at $819.00
I thought it was something new when I saw the thumbnail! I tried this on over a year ago. I also tried the 42 which was too big (I have an 8 inch wrist) I've also seen people with 7.5 inch wrist and smaller wearing the 42 and they just look rediculous 😂
I wasn't impressed with either so bought a Jazzmaster instead and then picked up the Cooper a couple of months later. Both better pieces than the Murph.
I'll stick with the Newmark 52 field with ivory dial on tan leather.
I bought the 42 on release. Even got the Interstellar tesseract collectors box 😅 I love the watch. Really happy that Hamilton made a reduced version for those who were disappointed with the initial sizing. No morse code on the second hand of this one however. Not a deal breaker I'm sure 😂
Hi Jody, super video and great 'Murph' smaller version.
Does the 38mm gave the morse code now on the second hand (as the 42mm does?) Cheers
No mate, they deleted it. Some will be happy because it's more authentic, others will be unhappy because they will miss the little nerdy touch. Cheers!
Thanks for your kind reply Jody - Shame, think they should have put it on the 38mm second hand too, just for us watch nerds 😁😁😉😉😂😂🤣🤣
damn, they really are rolling out videos for the murph 38mm on youtube right now by different youtubers but it's just pure coincidence lol
exactly my thoughts. Expensive, by no means new, with many shortcomings....and suddenly everyone loves it
I agree with you on the darn price...But an awesome watch.
I admit I was one of the folks who "bullied" Hamilton into releasing a 38 mm version. It started out in 2019 when the original 42 mm came out. I continued "harrassing" Hamilton on social media, but not to the point of being totally obnoxious and annoying.
I kinda gave up in early 2022 and told myself it wasn't happening, so I ended up buying a 38 mm homage from Alixpress that has a Miyota 8 series movement and a screw down crown! That watch originally came with a multi BOR-type bracelet and I replaced it with a black leather strap similar to what the Murph has, and I loved wearing that thing.
Fast forward a few months later and the official Hamilton account responded to me with a #somethingsmalliscoming and I got excited that it was finally happening. I love the movie and the watch so much that I ended up getting 2 copies. I still wear it to this day and it's one of my favorite watches to wear.
Since the watch came out here in France like 2 years ago, we can find very good deal, great watch, outregeous price, good job jody, Frédéric from Paris France.
42mm for me… but I wear a full size Lunar Pilot no problem
I own the 38 Murph and changed the strap to bracelet. It gets more wrist time than my black bay 58. One of my best watches right here!
To each their own, but for e the 42 hands down.
Great video. Please do a H2H with the Seiko Mini Alpinist!
i bought this uk with 10/15% off from ernest jones, think i ended up paying £700, but 100% worth it, the power reserve is excellent, the finish is great and it keeps time so well. dont hesitate
I have my 38mm on an Uncle straps steel bracelet and I love it. It’s become my daily.
I think the 42mm suits your wrist better than the 38mm, and not to mention the morse code printed on the 42mm version, as a plus point. Cheers!
I'll head for the AliExpress version
Jody - I just got my Erbus in blue (Chicago) - ❤ it!!!!
Thanks mate! Glad you like it!
I just rewatched Interstellar in 4k this past weekend too.
This is more of a replica of the movie version since it doesn’t have the eureka homage second hand. Nice touch. And this size is perfect!
I think there are at least 3 homages of this on Ali now, think I'll opt for one of those and save some money
Hasn't this size been around for a couple years now at least in North America
Hi Jody!
Not my cup of tea - regardless of the size. But does the 38mm has got the Morse code on the second hand as well? Or was ist the other watch featured in the movie? 🤔
Best wishes,
Claus
I really wanted to buy the 42mm with Eureka but after trying both, 38mm is by far the prettier for a 16-17cm (~6.5 inch)wrist.
It's a killer look on any elegant male wrist or makes any male wrist look elegant..Both is correct.
Are they using the same case as the 38 automatic ? I wonder if you can swap for an aftermarket sapphire with AR.
The 42 looked pretty good on your wrist.. “Eureka” sold me on my 7.25 inch wrist being such a fan of the movie. Can’t go wrong with either
I don't mind the lacking AR coating. No AR coating is really needed on such a nostalgic watch. I would be willing to consider it an aesthestic plus, allowing the crystal to catch the light. The weak lume on the other hand is just an outright mistake on a watch in that price range, in my opinion.
38mm case with a 44mm lug-to-lug is the perfect size for me, but I ended up getting a basic hand wind Khaki instead of this one due to the price difference.
Have you reviewed the longines spirit? It’s absolutely beautiful and comes in 40 mm 37mm and 42mm it’s also a chronometer. The lume is really top notch and generally is a lovely watch
Love this watch I have this watch.
Was lucky enough to get a 1/3 off from a UK official dealer 12 months ago and its still a regular on my wrist. The size and dial are so so sweet. Certainly one of my favourite watches for casual wear. Now have both Interstellar watches, one as a dazzler, the other as the practical. Great pairing
One night a few years ago I searched CZcams for clips of Intersteller to watch. On a whim I clicked on TGV's "The Interstellar Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date - The Best Automatic Aviation Watch Under $600?" and I was hooked on the Murph watch when it was shown in the video, and on watches in general. I had to wait years for the 38mm since that's the size that fits better.
NICE watch 🤩 and thank you for all the videos!
OF COURSE, sensible people, like Ozzies, Brits, Krauts (that's me), and many others will go for the 38mm version, but the insane "Americans" over here will scream about this model being some sort of "woke" "unisex" model, and even the women will chime along, and these donut-warriors will threaten Hamilton with their special Rambo-edition rifles to make a "REAL MAN" version in FIFTY-two millimetres! Oh dear, I wish I'd never come here...
BTW: I certainly love my 36mm Tandorio homage of the mid 70s British military issue tonneau W10 by Hamilton on a khaki nylon-strap, and it is a beauty and sooooo easy to read!
I’ve had mine a few months now, can’t take it off, replaced the thick black leather strap after a few months because it made it look a little too dressy. Went with an Olive Green Nylon strap that makes the dial pop even more. Ya not cheap but a bargain compared to a Tudor Ranger @ 4 times the price. 🙏
The 38 fits in my wrist like the 42 on yours. I think you could pull off either size. My wrists are about 6.25 on left and 6.4 on right. I mostly wear on right wrist now days.
Nice review
Hamilton..we need bracelet for Murphy
If it weren’t for the movie connection, I’d buy one of these.
This is very nice, however given the rrp I’d be tempted to stretch to the Oris big crown pointer date. Sucker for cathedral hands 🙌
The Seiko alpinist offers so much more at a more affordable price. Not to mention the SARBs.
@jody this watch came our in Oct/Nov 2022, when i saw this video title i thought there is another newer improved 38 version that came out now. You are 15 months late to the party. Still an amazing watch hopefully it will come down in price now.
Thanks for the video Jodie. It's nice that they are responding to fan requests - although I must admit, I don't understand the fuss. I'd rather have an Oris Big Crown.
I'm amused how Swatch claim that their sub-brands are 'independent' and, at the same time, that movements from the wider conglomerate count as 'in-house'.
