Hamilton is one of the Swatch Group’s entry-level watch brands, which offers a wide range of watches targeting aspiring watch enthusiasts.
The Khaki Navy Scuba GMT seen here comes in a 43 mm x 13.9 mm stainless steel case, with a 24-hour GMT bezel instead of a traditional dive bezel insert marked 0-60. In addition to the red-tipped center seconds hand, there’s a 24-hour GMT hand in the same color, which might be confusing when the hands cross paths. They probably should have varied the colors.
Driven by an automatic movement with an 80-hour power reserve, the main/local hour hand can be set in one-hour jumping increments, which means this is a traveler/flyer GMT. The 24-hour hand is adjusted in smooth traditional movement. Both are set by the crown.
The Khaki Navy Scuba GMT will be available in stainless steel, as shown, with a white dial and black bezel and a 22 mm lug width tapered stainless steel bracelet, or in marine-grade bronze with a black dial, bezel insert, and 22 mm lug width non-tapered strap. The bezel edge and crown are polished, whereas the rest of the watch case is brushed. On the bracelet, the center link bevels have also been polished.
The white with black accents and a black bezel insert has an aesthetic that’s reminiscent of the Rolex Submariner mock-up we had commissioned in March 2024. So I guess you could say we like the look.
The Khaki Navy Scuba GMT features a sapphire crystal, screw-down crown, solid screw-in caseback, and has a depth rating of 300 meters. It will be available soon, starting at $1,395 as shown (Ref. H82555150), in stainless steel with a matching bracelet, and $1,545 in bronze and titanium (Ref. H82565930) with a Nato-style strap. The GMT carries a premium of $270 compared to the current 43 mm non-GMT Khaki Navy Scuba Auto.
